Q&A: Curren$y and Producer Ski Beatz (and Damon Dash) Talk Pilot Talk, BluRoc, and Eating at Bubby's in Tribeca

You've said you're always high. Is that true?

Curren$y: That's probably right. I think I smoked three joints in front of you. [Passes joint]

I'm good. Smoking that much doesn't decrease your productivity?

Curren$y: I don't know. It's not about that. I'm not really a fan of the world and the way shit goes down. But I'm here and I deal with it. And this makes things a little bit easier. It's like how beer goggles makes an ugly chick look good. These are like beer goggles for this ugly world. Everything is OK. But it's really fucked. But it's kind of not. To me. 

There's been some confusion about your label situation. It was said in a lot of places that Pilot Talk was going to come through Def Jam on a re-launched Roc-A-Fella. But the label is BluRoc....

Curren$y: It was always BluRoc...We were saying that on the idea of what [Roc-A-Fella] stood for. How all that Roc-A-Fella shit is back in the form of BluRoc, the label. 

You and Wiz Khalifa have done a lot of music together, and have an almost Meth-and-Red type chemistry. Have you thought of forming a group together with him?

Curren$y: No, we're going to do another mixtape but we got separate teams and separate missions. 

Do you have a certain type of beat you look for from him?

Curren$y: I always tell him that I want to feel like I fell out of an airplane but I'm not gonna die. Whatever that sound like.
