I've been getting a lot of comments from people saying that Mr. Marcelo IS Curren$y's brother. In this video, I said that he wasn't because Curren$y HIMSELF in an interview said he wasn't his blood brother. He says this at the 1:15 mark of this interview.

🙏🙏🙏
both underground and mainstream rappers give their respects to spitta. truly a legend
FACTS!!!
Facts!!!
He really the example of staying in your own lane and chilling
Absolutely it’s insane
It was a loooong time coming for Spitta, glad to see all the recognition & success over the years. Top 5 for me since 2009.
You late bro
@@YSuniverse856 You slow.
“From the beginning…” lol
Same and I’m 22 going on 23. Been listening since 2010 mtv jams days. Shit really feel nostalgic
The Jetlife & blog era was definitely a dope time in hip hop ✈️🔥
Fly society era was better.
It’s not a era it’s a lifestyle
Jetlife era hasn’t stopped bby boy
Was??? Nah .... Is....
Facts I made it on this is 50
Been bumping curren$y since 2011. Man is a legend. He's held me down to burn to like none other for the last 12 years. Thanks you.
jet life, young roddy, trademark as well? i hope so.. ;)
@Janek We of course. Young Roddy, trademark, fiend, smoke dza, larry june, Devin the dude, big krit, afro man, method man, Redman, bone thugs n harmony, , Bob Marley, kid cudi, jimi hendrick, pink floyd, you name it!
He wasn’t competing with anybody. Just enjoying his journey and loving them classic oldies beats🤙
Literally the most consistent rapper since like 2008. DAH DAH DAH
Dude is CONSISTENT. He is hands down one of the most dedicated artists in terms of releasing content to his fans. He's down to earth & doesn't get into all that "gangsta" lifestyle shit either
Yes he does. He always talkin that mob shit like he’s a capo or something. 😂
@@aircnc9385 all hood nxggas love that shit tho🤣but you wont exactly see him flashin guns on the gram or whatever
I mean he's an OG who's been affiliated with some of the biggest OGs in new Orleans. He never claimed to be a tough guy but he's always been around some real dudes in the streets. Imo that speaks even more highly of him. He gets respect from rap life killers without being one himself. That just shows u how real he is.
@@aircnc9385 those are metaphors he uses in his raps to describe his lifestyle
@@TheEnigmaticBM39 “my brother ordered your murder from my terrace, I seen it all from my terrace.” Is a hell of a metaphor. 🤣
He's like the og of og's. This mans music has done so much for my mental. Shits super easy on the ears, Always on a smooth flow , subtle boast but humble. Jetlife
Most consistent rapper who spittin actual lyrics no lies been in this game so long respect to the underground legend 🐐🐐🐐🐐
There was a time where if you met someone who also listened to curren$y, there was like an unspoken bond and you knew they was cool as fuck. This was like 05-08. Now, he's underground mainstream.
110% they don’t understand
Bruh you never lied lol
Lol i met one of my best friends that way. Lol. Just heard him playing spitta from his truck
Yea currensy definitely is underrated, talk about consistency and dedication. Great video also. Jetlife til the next life
holistically hes gotta be the best in the last 20 yrs . the music, the clothing...only thing he hasnt really touched is tv n film
Mad respect to you for this bro. Spitta been one of my favs for over a decade now 🤙🏾
Spitta definitely a legend, and still consistent to this day.
Definitely! Nearly 100 projects is insane
@@cloutcancun what's that first song playing?
@@fredrickjohnson9473I couldn’t find it
Damn you are a real Curren$y fan. Most channels that cover Curren$y's career really don't know the details of his journey.
Alot of rappers don't move like Spitta he has gained so many fans by staying solid on other artists platforms and mashing on to the next score real rap fans appreciate that.
Spitta is in my top 5 for a while...fortunate enough to see him in Houston 2021...his link ups with Wiz Khalifa are always so good...but those Alchemist albums Covert Coupe and Continuance always so fire...also anything with Harry Fraud is too good...thanks to Spitta I found out about Larry June as well!
Same , heard oranges on a jet and smoke & mirrors, and I became a Larry June fan
I actually got into his music pretty early in my life because he appeared on a couple tracks with my uncle. Then I heard weekend at Bernie’s in the rap channel. Once I heard him again on how fly it was a wrap for me. He's probably my all time favorite due to his insane work ethic.
Consistency is key & owning your masters & publishing.
💯
Curren$y was the rapper to get me out of my "I only listen to classic hip-hop" phase. Heard him in 08' and been a fan since. Only thing that kinda bothers me is his new slow almost slurring flow.
Wowww wtf 😂 this sounds exactly like me but I caught on late 09…he got me out of my 90s rap phase into the current wave….and I’m like half and half on his new flow too; not a huge fan of it fr but it’s Spitta
Ferrari Engine from collection agency he not slurring on that song and that's 2 years ago
He just be fried in the booth lol
Man I’m disappointed in myself for not listening to curren$y earlier i knew who he was but I just didn’t listen to him because I wasn’t really into lyrical rap I started listening to him 2 years ago my homie is a big fan of his and every time I would ride with him he would play his songs and eventually I started to like him. Curren$y is truly a legend in the rap game I wish people would give him his flowers
I feel the same way, and a 40 yr old woman lol
i defend this dude like i know him spitta is in my top 5 hands down
My boy got me into currency in 2013 with the song "I know you see it" and it's been a wrap ever since then
That was one of the joints that pulled me in too
One thing I always respected Spitta for was the fact he always and still do know his worth. He been thru multiple deals and situations but he always been himself. That’s why I will always be a fan. Mind ya business make ya own.
Perfectly said bro
Great job
Been on curren$y since 08
You covered my boy great such a homie talks to everyone vibes
He’s a legend and you get it
How fly is a classic .☝️💯 curren$y is my favorite artist . Does his own thing and be in his own world . Don’t care what nobody think of him . Don’t care about fame just want to collect cars and vibe .
He puts out consistent good music.
Been a fan of his since high school, almost 28 and still JetLife til the next life 🛩🤙🏾
its cool to hear that younger people got into spitta with his new stuff like you said you did in 2016/2017. hopefully new young listeners are still discovering him in 2023 and well into the future. i think the first song i heard was blown away back in 2010
Mannnnnn I’ll never forget getting clowned for listening to spitta in highschool in new orleans when he was on his run dropping mixtapes every month. Now he really the goat to some of us out here. Much respect to spitta always for never leaving the city like some others fr!!
Thats ridiculous and especially in his home city/state?
@@TheEnigmaticBM39 it makes sense because wayne was running hip hop n currensy left the label when wayne reached super stardom so ppl thought he was fool for doing it but we see he got the last laugh
Man I been following Spitta since he signed to Young Money and always felt that he was tha best out tha group...you really did yo homework on him and I'm glad people are giving this guy his flowers...Curren$y, Wiz, KRIT & Larry June are some of tha most underrated artists out now and needs to be more recognized while they are amongst tha living #JLR
Definitely
Be 😎
The man is consistent with his craft and has mastered I've been listen to currency since he hit the scene and he's my favorite rapper 🤙🏾🛫
Dude really is an underground legend 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
So pretty much, Curren$ys recipe for success as a Artist was be a studio fiend. Never took his fan base for granted. Just grinded
He’s consistent and still put out good quality music, plus he’s a OG in the game
Been one of my favorite artists since ‘09. I remembered the Cash Money days but wasn’t a big fan till he went solo. The consistency and quality was so inspirational to me. I was in awe of his work ethic.
Same wit me where the cash at was my favorite song under ym
I been listening to Spitta since 2010, it’s great to see content like this on him. That’s the homie. 🤙🏾
Spitta is the true definition of consistency still my favorite artist to date
Honestly bro. You could've made this an hour and we all would sit through it.
2 bangers in a week? Hit the LIKE!
You got that bro!
u make me want to hear some currency tonight when i smoke some weed in the park lol
What's the name of the track that comes on in the beginning of the video.. put me on homie💪🏾💪🏾
Curren$y- Financial District
Listened to Covert Coupes every morning before school of my Senior year in 2010. The music was flowin, so much music that when my homie told me about these cats named Dom Kennedy and A$AP Rocky, I didn't even bother to listen
That Reagan era freestyle still so hard
Life at 30,000 was a underrated mixtape from him. One of my fav artists but definitely never mentioned for his work ethic.
Toooo many projects. The revolver movie is another dope project. Shouts out to you my brother. Keep doing your thing.
I’m always Here for the Curren$y appreciation! 🤙🏾
Live in concert is so underrated that shit is hella fire if your really a wiz and curren$y fan
Bro it’s #2 under how fly for me, the way it was conceived and constructed is still mind blowing to me. 😅 those boys really sat back listening to the oldies one day and said “we should flip this shit and add some modern touches” and then just did it 😭
" The hero unsung, when im done they'll say im great"
-Currensy
the 9-12/30 tapes are still in heavy rotation
You had to be around during those How Fly/Pilot Talk time. Such a moment
covert coup opened my ears, and I have been hooked since
Been rockin with Spitta since I was 18 (I’m 31 now)
Back when “Curren y” would pop up in the RUclips search bar instead of “Curren$y” lol
Great work. Always love your work. Keep it up
Ohhh I’ve been waiting for this one
The best to ever touch a mic for my ears 🙏🏾
My favorite artist, thank you for this 🔥
Thanks for your time for making this video bro🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Literally the greatest of all time thank you. My favorite artist and I model my whole style and setup after his legacy 🤙🏽💎🤲🏾 stay down til you come up in the underground.
You the MAN for this 1🤝🏽💯. And that intro was 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Jet Life🤙. Really appreciate this one, man. I remember dedicating Sundays just to catch up to Spitta's projects, back when I first got introduced to his music. Cigarette Boats, New Jet City and The Stoned Immaculate are some of my favourite projects.
this is your best video imo, you keep getting better LETS GO
I really enjoy this bro spitta is my favorite rapper and you did the best job I’ve seen so far and I think I watched them all very thorough bro great work
Video a classic thx for making this video about to listen to his music right now 🐐
I'm kinda disappointed you didn't mention the New Jet City project.. which was dope af.. that's how I came across his music.
New jet city was one of his most popular mixtapes and gain alot of fans that year.
Great work young man. Keep up the good work. You next up fr fr
This video was really good!!! I dont even comment on youtube videos but I had to give you your flowers for this one!! Jetlife to the next life 🤙🏿
Great video homie
Great work man
i knew of his name for a long time before i heard any music. i became an instant fan in 2012 when saw i “showroom” on mtv jamz. i was blown away just so unique and smooth vibes. i still don’t understand how he is able to release music so consistently guess he doesn’t sleep. 😂❤
Well Put Together Video Bro JETLIFE🤙🏾🛩️
You did a great job bro
Man! I from New Orleans, I left and moved to Cali when I was 14 back in ‘05. This video definitely bought me back to middle school high school and college. I’m 31 now still bump currensy! You did your thing on this video man….
I had a similar story. Moved to Vegas from gulf coast Mississippi freshman year of high school in 06. Wayne was rising in popularity and in everybody's playlist so when he introduced Spitta through YM I was instantly a fan

Amazing man
Coming from a No Limit Records Connoisseur, Been Rocking Wit Spitta Since Dem 504 Boyz Days.. 🛩 Life Till The Next Life💯
Curren$y fan since 2009
I'm from NYC born n bred n East coast hip hop biased obviously, but I fucks with Curren$y. I been listening to his shit for over 10 years n I love it. Perfect for when u in car driving, smokin, his beats and collaboration are 🔥🔥🔥. A true hip hop undaground legend!
A huge legend salute from Australia 🫡
I miss them joints between curren$y and young roddy.
Bales mixtape was fire 🔥
Continuance with alchemist was just amazing
Congrats on almost 50k! I've been watching since before you hit 10k, you're the best hip hop doc channel on RUclips I like your editing style broski! I fuck with Currensy too, can you do a video for KIDS by Mac Miller at some point? That would be dope!
I would have to get into Mac first. I've never really been into his music besides a few songs. I feel like I would be cheating the viewers if I wasn't really into his stuff and just made a video
@@cloutcancun No worries Clout, thanks for getting back to me and I feel you its better to do vids on people you fuck with but if you ever wanna start getting into Mac start with KIDS or Best day ever those are his most Iconic ad they go hard on a nice summer day!
Good vid bro you get better what each vid..btw Mr Marcelo is Spittas brother not friend
