Curren$y On Why Wiz Khalifa Isn’t On Pilot Talk


Art by Jack Labadie

I’m sure more than a few of y’all have been wondering why Wiz isn’t featured on any tracks off Curren$y’s new album (which is available now). Well… during a sit down with Complex, Spitta states it was all clearance issues.

Complex: When I got the press release for Pilot Talk, I noticed the tracklist included songs with Wiz Khalifa, but those tracks didn’t make it on the album.

Curren$y: Well, you know how that go with deals and clearances. I just couldn’t get my man cleared in time. I don’t know what the deal was, but I couldn’t put those records out. I knew eventually somebody was gonna ask me what happened and why I don’t have him on my album, but that’s just a part of the game. That’s why I am the way I am, just on my own grind ’cause I don’t really understand how that work and why my dude couldn’t get on. I dunno. It’s that business shit.

He also speaks on Dame Dash, Lil Wayne, the JETS lifestyle and more. Check the full interview here.

    >>> Get the fuck outta here man. What, you want more Rick Ross faux gangsta mafiaso bullshit?

  6. damn, fuck the main stream. thats proly why wiz wasnt on there. bitch ass money grubbin muhfuckas!

  7. No Limit, Tru, Young Money, Fly Society, Jets,

  8. well of course there was a curren$y post his fucking album dropped today. Don’t you notice that you usually see an artist a lot when it’s around the time of their album dropping. it’s called promoting

  9. oh Shake talking about Currensy, oh no wait i meant SPITTA ? What else is new?

  10. @come on son, stop waiting on a spitta post just to hate. take your ass someone else with that pointless shit.

  11. In other words, Curren$y is saying Wiz is on the wack juice. I concur.
    hahahaha *waits for fart jokes from the Taylor gang kids*

    Ey Cliche Gahvara – most gansta rappers are faux gangsta rappers and all rappers lie/exaggerate. The difference is Rick Ross is about to put out one of the best albums of the year…oh and Curren$y did a remix wit em too.

  12. Complex: What’s the longest you’ve gone without smoking?

    Curren$y: Whoa! One time I had strep throat so I ain’t smoke for like four days, but that was in like 2008. It was a horrible time. But other than that, everything has been okay. I have not gone one fuckin’ hour without smokin’. [Laughs.] Shit, not even a half-hour.

    wow!!!lol

    good album,jets

  13. rick ross,album of the year¿

    no detox,no ross,no em,no jay-z,not kanye…

    maybe slum village

  14. Im kinda glad Wiz wasnt on the album. there were already waaaaay too many features on there which is the main reason why i didnt like it as much. Scaling the Building was a bonus track anyway i think.

    They jus need to make How Fly 2!

  15. Creativity and Inspiration is still pushing. It continues to give the music and art community a voice, it keeps the ideas fresh and captivating. Kill the Radio! Take it back to the 90′s.CHECK OUT MY EP ENTITLED ” WHO’S THE MAN?” PRODUCED ENTIRELY BY BASEBOOMER…SHOUTS OUT TO BOOMING RECORDS!

  18. i was so happy to see wiz not on the album he aint really that great, there is quite a few features, but they are good. the album is banging.

  19. LMAO swear to god I was at 2DB, saw a Curren$y article. Went to click on the c-section and said to myself “100% chance there’s gonna be some faggot nigga named ‘late!!!’ that would bitch about someone he doesn’t like and tell someone how to run their blog.” Sure enough, first fucking comment.

  27. cause Wiz sucks, plain & simple.

  28. _Jetss nigggaa !

  29. @ DrJose
    WIZ > CURREN$Y

  30. THATS THE BIZ
    - NEW K’NAAN AND MARY J BLIGE

  31. Why doesn’t 2Dope just post the tracks that didn’t make the final edition..if there were any, ala Royal Flush & Lookin’ For Ya. And fuck Ross for the Bobby Seale sample and IDGAF who cosigns him or his movement, still wack as shit. All rap is exaggerated..but I don’t wanna hear an ex-pig rapping about how gangsta and made he is on a track saying fuck the popo. He’s a lame, he’s herb, hes an epic fail. FOH, nigga minus the lol.

  32. Man that had me real mad….

    did those 2 songs leak???

    just so i can have them…
    i mean those 2 songs are not up for sale, but can i get them as download???
    (just those 2 song w/ wiz)

    support Curren$y and BUY the album!!!

    J.E.T.S. Fool…

  33. Currency and Wiz are the most overrated ‘rappers’ ever. Grow up people.

  34. wiz was asking for that paper and currensy wasnt tryna loose more money frm the project, this shit was really for his fans. he’s gonna make little to nothing off it, once you add up wht he has to pay ski, dame, and even sample clearance, but i think most of it was live shit so who knows. it’s a solid album. too many features, but thats what he chose, it’s really something he did for the team. promo big krit,stalley,nesby,dza, wiz is everywhere he didnt really need tht.

  35. ” This Aint No Mixtape Was HORRIBLE ”
    ^^^^
    smh…

  36. I like the album alot, only feature i didnt care for was snoop.anyway, wiz might not be the most lyrical nigga ever but he got his own style and Kush and OJ was that fire. The nigga Mikey Rocks actually sounded like Wiz a lil bit on that hangover song.???

  37. Hard to buy an album when the closest store that has it is an hour and a half away.

    No bestbuy in the charlotte area has Pilot Talk. WTF

  38. U think currency sucks and his shit is spam? U gotta be jokin u fuckin clown listen to his lyrics he should be getting paid more than he does now but that’s not him or his style or way of doing business. Currency is unique same with wiz and bothcan spit ucant argue that if u think this shot is spam tell me why that lame fuck gucci mane still has food on his plate! Dude should be homeless! If every rapper sounded the same it would be death to hip hop homie…go sit on ur thumb
