Album Review

 Curren$y's new album, The Stoned Immaculate, is both a story of his past and an icon of his success. With song titles like "Chasin' Paper" and "No Squares", this album is representative of the slightly arrogant yet respectable view point that Currensy reflects upon his success. The theme throughout the album is, of course, chasing that paper, or making money. Songs range from bragging about his restored  Cadillacs and Lincolns to the beautiful girls in the back seat. Currensy makes is clear how none of this would have been possible without his unmatched lyricism and flow, and the money that results from these. Each and every song alludes to the last and foreshadows the next, and you gain a sense of the album being a work as a whole and as proof that success will come from "never looking in the rear view".
