Curren$y - Famous
Artist: Curren$y
Producer: Monsta Beatz
Album: Monsta Beatz Present: Monsters on Mars
Label: Warner Bros. Records
When you’ve got a dollar sign in your name you can’t be shy about the fame and fortune, and with a name like Monsta Beatz you can’t be shy about in-your-face production, so what’s surprising about Curren$y and Monsta Beatz’ new record isn’t that it’s titled Famous, but how subdued the record is. Here the New Orleans based Monsta Beatz crafted a slowly spinning beat that prominently features a smooth jazz horn and hypnotically deep bass, a combination that sounds like it could have come off an old-school Sade record, while Curren$y drops an engaging but supremely laid-back flow – maybe the man’s still got a contact high from appearing on Fat Raps: “Rose in the glasses, get the weed out the plastic.” Hey, even the rich and famous need to relax, and when they do, I bet they throw on music like this. Famous is part of Monsta Beatz’ latest project Monsta Beatz Present: Monster on Mars, available online now.

This isn't the kind of track that blows you away, but if you're in the right mood has the potential to be nearly flawless. For the record, by "in the right mood" I don't not mean higher than Lil Wayne in Amsterdam.

There is only one emcee who I could picture over this production and that is Curren$y. There isn't anything in particular here that leaves you humming this song as you walk away from your computer, but I'll take it for what its worth. Rotation.

Alright... Anyone know what has gotten into Curren$y? Everything he's on lately is fire and his value continues to climb. Don't call it a comeback, but this is only the beginning for him...and this famous joint only gets better the more you listen to it. I assure you, big things for him in 2010. you'll see...

With a strong bassline accented by a jazzy horny horn, Monsta Beatz creates a smooth cool groove for Curren$y to do what he does best, talk that laid-back ish!

The only guy Z? There I can think about 70 southern rappers that could rap over this.
Nice laid back track. Nothing special, but good. |

Curren$y is killing the game right now and this track is the perfect example of why the Jets are "flying higher and faster than the rest of this cats". Play this while your ironing your true religions and TRY not catch a groove!
