Common's in my Top 10, but he's kinda taken a different direction on these last couple of albums.
Make no mistake about it, this is a soft album. There's mad singing, light chords and live instrumentation on pretty much the entire album. So it's not much harder than a Norah Jones project, lol. But I get what he's trying to do with it. His past couple of joints have had themes, this one is about racial injustice and how we can heal and uplift from that. So this isn't the kinda album you're gonna throw on, if you're not in the pocket of wanting to kick back and chill to some smooth shyt. It's a message and themed-album that pretty much fits where his career is at now, so I'm not mad at it. But I'm probably not going back to fukk with it often. I'm still good with his old shyt.
