Weekend at Burnie's is the fifth studio album by American rapper Curren$y. The album was released on June 28, 2011, through Warner Bros. [13] Eleven tracks on this album are produced by Monsta Beatz. The album's lead single, "#JetsGo" is produced by Rahki. "You See It" and "This Is the Life" were leaked to promote the album. On June 21 Curren$y premiered the album during a Ustream-Session. It featured the Bonus Tracks "JLC" and "Get Paid." In its first week, the album sold 23,000 copies in the US, after a Billboard 200 debut of #22. [14]
Weekend at Burnie's was met with "generally favorable" reviews from critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a weighted average rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, this release received an average score of 77 based on 12 reviews. [2] Aggregate website AnyDecentMusic? gave the release a 7.2 out of 10 based on a critical consensus of 5 reviews. [1]
In a review for AllMusic, critic reviewer David Jeffries said: Currensy’s Weekend at Burnie's EP and/or mixtape is a worthwhile distraction, offering fans of his Pilot Talk efforts a chance to hear the rapper in a different setting. Here, the setting is hard, minimal, and retro, with producer Monsta Beatz bringing the ‘80s flavor on all tracks." [3] Andres Tardio of HipHopDX gave the release a 3 out of 5, explaining: "There's an inconsistency on Weekend at Burnie's that keeps it from being fully successful. At some points, Curren$y shows why he was given the Spitta moniker, but other times, he shows how limited his flow and subject matter can be, slowly pushing through tracks with no real focus." [9] At Pitchfork , Tom Breihan wrote: "Weekend at Burnie's is remarkably warm and approachable, and it brings Curren$y closer to the sound of current radio-rap than he's been in a while." [10]
