Only built 4 a Curren$y link

HL asked me if I'd like to contribute an entry in his monumental countdown of the best rap songs of 2010 and offered me a handful of choices, I said I wouldn't mind writing an appraisal for Flying Iron by Curren$y & Fiend, so here it is as his 3rd favourite song of 2010.

Because it'd be ill-mannered of me to bid you adieu with nothing but a link, here's the first song those 2 chums dropped together a couple of years back during Curren$y's mixtape run.

Curren$y ft. Fiend - Coupes And Leers



Fiend's verse sounds like it was recorded in C-Murder's jailcell toilet bowl.

Bonus "we did it, Blogosphere, we did it!!!" action :

#YouKnowYou'veMadeIt when : your stats reveal that your posts are getting linked on the Dissensus.com forum.



I only skimmed through 3 pages of the board's token hip hop thread my 2010 singles/other random songs post was linked in, but therein lay everything one could possibly hope from a Dissensus thread about teh rap muzik : an impassioned back-and-forth about not enjoying rappers who are materialistic/sexist/homophobic, a discussion about which is Nas's best album, and a comparison between Lil' Wayne and Bob Dylan. Marvelous work by all involved, and thanks to whoever linked my post for showing love and recognising that Baserock Babies by Beeda Weeda was one of '010's most neglected jams.

    That Curren$y and Fiend project needs to drop asap. Never heard that song over the Camp Lo beat, nice track but as you mentioned Fiend's verse doesn't sound to crystal.

    "a discussion about which is Nas's best album"

    i dont think iv ever been one to blindly follow the popular opinion on shit like this but jesus

    still nothing beats the invetible "how can you disrespect tupac's memory?/nas beat jay" debates in youtube comments. especially when they spell it naS or whatever

    love the other dissensus thread on hip hop right now, purporting to cover rap songs from the 2000s. its gotta be the most arbitrary compilation of youtube links ever assembled to represent a decade of rap history, qualifications for inclusion seemingly unrelated to any kind of aesthetic worldview or historical narrative other than 'arbitrary disconnectedness'

    kind of quaint, tho
