    Musically gorgeous, incorporating guitar, horn and piano, lyrically-dense, monotone flow. Curiously, a mellow delight to scratch the brain. Excellent cohesion. Replay value: 4/5.

    Delicious. Relaxed music, hard raps and amazing beats. The array of instruments is awesome and a delight to hear when so many artists are doing the same thing. Most of the songs also contain this great nostalgic feeling of the 90's.

    A smooth soulful delight. The production from Ski is brilliantly soft and compliments Curren$y's slow flow and winding lyrics perfectly. On the surface it comes across as "weed rap" but trust me there is much, much more to this guy than that, I would seriously reccomend to anyone who like witty lyrics and smooth production.

    One of the most unique and chilled out rap albums you will ever here. Audio Dope II is possibly my favorite Curren$y song, which is saying a lot, the dude puts out more music than anyone in the game right now.

    Amazing. Curren$y's witty metaphorical lyrics are worth listening to. Mix that with the nice mellow beats and you can't help but enjoy the cd. No mainstream nonsense on this compilation, one of the best hip hops i have heard of late.

  1. Maybe the highest praise one can bestow on Pilot Talk is that it is a real album, not really fit for phone speakers or headphones but best enjoyed on a home or car system, where Ski's warm beats and Spitta's hazy vocals can fill the space.
  2. The result is a mellow, atmospheric album that still manages to embody the delicious, self-absorbed, fuck-all bombast currently making mainstream rap so exciting.
  3. For backpackers and underground fans, it's a must, but anyone who wants their hip-hop both a bit stranger and a lot deeper will fall hard for this one.
