Be: 61/79 - 77%

Well done....this series has officially gone to shyt and y'all know fukk all about hip-hop



I don't even wanna continue this garbage anymore.

 

[Ukbrotha]

I must admit, I'm shocked that LWFC isnt ahead. I always felt Its by far his best album.

Def an argument that Common has three or four classic albums

 

[Inspect Her Deck]

One of the most disgraceful voting threads ever.

Def an argument that Common has three or four classic albums

At least 2 for sure.

Resurrection, LWFC, and Be are pretty much classics. Electric circus and One day it will all make sense are personal classics to me as well.

Resurrection, LWFC, and Be are pretty much classics. Electric circus and One day it will all make sense are personal classics to me as well.

What makes it even more impressive is that each one of his classics was him completely reinventing himself artistically. Dude has one of the best discographies in all of hip hop.

 

[Figaro]

Resurrections possibly.

LWFC & Be are dope but not classics.

I can remember Be did have come impact in the game though when it first got released.

Be Intro is forever a classic though



Most underrated song on the album

I pretty much agree with u about the classics. I have finding forever as a personal classic for me as well.

They are definitely great benchmarks in his career. From thuggish shyt on “can I borrow a dollar”, to the introspective, to soulquarian, to the “backpack”, back to esoteric, to beyond!

I should have melted Finding Forever as much as I played it. It felt like “BE” pt. 2

 

[Toe Jay Simpson]

I dont think Common has any classics, but Resurrection is the closest.

Common would have had an amazing discography if he had stayed within his strengths. He went out of pocket way too many times and because of that I think future generations are going to miss out on his greater works
