    The mellow is never harshed, and the promise of sunny weekend stoner music from the '80s is maintained the whole way through.

    The results are just about as great as expected. Perhaps more than ever, the rapper paints the world of the faded, the dense and the spacey are a labyrinth for Curren$y's creation.

    At some point in that outrageous lifestyle that flips between videogames and spitting stoned, stupid raps, he makes hard, smart decisions about what to lend his voice to and how that should be packaged.

    So far, he's kept a high quality to go along with the high volume of his releases, and Weekend at Burnie's is no exception. It won't be his breakout into the mainstream, but if he continues at this rate he'll be there soon enough.

    Weekend at Burnie's has earned a regular spot in my iPod rotation. I may not be a full-ledged jet but I when I do fly I've got no problem letting Curren$y be my pilot.

    Longtime fans will enjoy and support the album justly, but it will be understandably missed or ignored by many.

    This guy is still on a very serious roll, and it doesn't seem to be anywhere near over.

    On Weekend At Burnie's, Curren$y has crafted a record he's probably chilling out to right now.

    The problem here is that not only is no progress made, Weekend at Burnie's might just be an artistic regress.

    Like his 2009 debut, This Ain't No Mixtape, Weekend At Burnies was produced primarily by the production team Monsta Beatz, and comparing the two records underscores how diligently Curren$y has sharpened his flow in just those few years.

    It's a welcome surprise to hear this skilled but fundamentally indolent rapper try to awaken himself from his stupor on Weekend at Burnie's, which is both moodier and more vibrant than most of his recent work.

    This prolific rhymer has added yet another project to a continuously growing catalog, and it's one sure to please anyone who flies those Jets.

    Nice work by currensy. Never disappoints with his albums. Even though his albums dont sell that good he still on hell of an artist. CurrensyNice work by currensy.
