Scottie Pippens was one of the best songs last year

You know something though? Although Gibbs murked Curren$y something awful, Gibbs spit one of the best verses of last year and Curren$y's verse wasn't even that bad in comparison. He stepped his lyricism way up on Covert Coup and this song as well. I don't know why dudes don't hold Covert Coup in high regard, especially Curren$y fans. Dope beats, more emphasis on lyricism as usual and the features are insane.

Showin' no signs of letting up
Still kick you in the head like I think
You on the verge of gettin' up
No mercy, Cobra Kai, Cobra Commander
Deadly venom-spittin', nikkas just a salamander

I'm livin' the life worthy of capturing on camera, documented
How one of the last lives ones did it
How I rolled up in the drop, how I rolled up that sticky
How I rolled with the women, elegant player, no simpin'
How I fukked them to sleep
How I rolled up out the building when I was finished
Keep it G, them nikkas not original
They in a motherfukkin' house of mirrors
Not quite the image
I'm on that Popeye spinach
Mama mai-tai sippin', she loves a square nikka
But now she tryin' somethin' different

Windy City Bulls Mitchell & Ness wool jackets
Some sweats and Scottie Pippens
My description, that fuzzy green prescription
Lyin' if I sayin' that I isn't
If you lookin' for that nikka: I is him
All eyes in this direction, a burden and a blessing


When you listen to Curren$y you're looking for him to drop jewels like that throughout his verses. I don't know what it is about dude, but he is literally the definition of making shyt sound cool. It looks aiight on paper then he says it and it just sounds dope:manny:

Covert coup is a personal classic to me. I say that because it will not be recognized as a "official" classic

Hell yea man. This be making a lot of nikkas mad, but fukk em. curren$y is quietly building one of the strongest discographies man. I don't think people are going to recognize what he was doing during this era, but for those keeping up with him, they know he's putting it down

he's been had one of the best catalogs in the game. he's so low key about it tho. his greatness won't truly be recognized until he stops rapping and people realize theres too many dope tracks to make a greatest hits cd.

Curren$y's verse is underrated. He got outshined but he still did his thing. It's another Renegade situation.

This. So slept on.

I hadn't bothered to check for him because I knew he made a tape with Wiz, so I thought he was similar to Wiz (whom I don't really get into much like that.) I started listening to him around This Ain't No Mixtape and kind of liked it, then I heard Pilot Talk and was like "wow I lost for sleeping on this guy."
