    Curren$y may not do "new," but he is very good at what he does: riffing on cars, money, women, weed, and obscure moments from television shows.

    There’s virtually nothing not to like about Pilot Talk III. Like other Curren$y releases, it makes up for its lack of revelations with a contagious joyfulness.

    While other artists are constantly on the prowl for the latest trend that will keep their names relevant, Spitta never ventures out of his own lane, and yet, his latest material never seems to spoil.

    As the third installment of Spitta’s aircraft-themed series, Pilot Talk 3 finds the NOLA sky captain delivering a familiar set of luxury rap fairytales upon which he’s built a quietly impressive career.

    This album is so under rated... Its a masterpiece imo. Curren$y's best work and that's saying a lot because he's released PLENTY of qualityThis album is so under rated... Its a masterpiece imo. Curren$y's best work and that's saying a lot because he's released PLENTY of quality material. He's always had a great ear for beats but the production on this album is spectacular. The way the lush instrumentation blends with the soulful samples is truly awe inspiring. Spitta doesn't re-invent the wheel when it comes to his technique here tho. He actually does the opposite and takes a more minimalist approach; stripping his song structure down to one extended verse on many tracks. I think this works perfectly with the dream-like production and the entire album plays like a constant stream of consciousness and soul. A closer listen reveals that the lyrical content has far more depth than the "Weed Rap" stigma that has become synonymous with his sound. The intricate lyrics tell the story of a remarkably consistent independent artist whose musical empire has become far more like a multi-million dollar drug ring than a underground rap operation. Highly rewarding for the patient listener. Expand

    The ever consistent Spitta delivers a very good project to complete his solid 5 year trilogy. In typical Curren$y fashion he puts forwardThe ever consistent Spitta delivers a very good project to complete his solid 5 year trilogy. In typical Curren$y fashion he puts forward lyricism related to his day to day experiences and lifestyles of the rich & famous. His ability to paint a picture is not limited on here and as always, recruits very nice, laid back production. Curren$y nowhere near disappoints as he delivers what he knows fans want to hear and sure enough has the 4/20 anthem of the year right here but beyond this, he doesn't look to step outside his comfort zone or push the bar. He plays it safe but plays it very well...keep it goin Spitta! Expand

    Big Spitta fan here, but his remarkable consistency with the amount of work might hurt his case a tad with this album. The production valueBig Spitta fan here, but his remarkable consistency with the amount of work might hurt his case a tad with this album. The production value is on point as always, and gives the fans exactly what they would have expected in terms of a sound and a lyrical/content/vibe perspective. However because of this, there are no tracks that jump out at me on this project despite the overall great vibe and cohesive sound to it. Good project, but I've heard better from Mr. Andretti, and thus I have come to expect as such. Expand
