Albums COMMON --BE (20TH ANNIVERSARY) ((11 NEW TRACKS))

[julesocean]

Whoa. Are the new tracks from those sessions, meaning some could potentially be Dilla tracks?

Classic album.

This is from an old XXL interview:

You recorded 11 tracks on the LP. Were there more songs you recorded for the album that you decided to leave off?
We recorded maybe, like, one or two more tracks. It wasn't a lot more songs recorded. It was like, we recorded them, but we knew that 11 was the completion of it. It didn't need to have more. We felt like we had delivered a well-rounded piece of art. Sometimes in a conversation you don't have to keep going on, you can say things in a short amount of time and be precise and it can be really profound. And that's what we felt like we could do when we picked 11 songs.





So yeah probably just the instrumental version tacked on after. Maybe the Food switched to studio version.

Kanye knocked that beat out after a full night of partying.

Damn, I got hyped. Sigh.

I'm a fan or short, cohesive albums. I don't need to listen to an hour long album that has filler.

I really enjoyed the first PRhyme album because of this.

 

[Jaguar93]

I was rollin' around, in my mind it occurred
What if God was a "her"?
Would I treat Her the same? Would I still be runnin' game on Her?
In what type of ways would I want Her?
Would I want Her for Her mind or Her heavenly body?
Couldn't be out gettin' bogus with someone so godly
If I was wit' Her, would I still be wantin' my ex?
The lies, the greed, the weed, the sex
Wouldn't be ashamed to give her part of my check
Wearin' her cross, I mean the heart on my neck
Her, I would reflect on the streets of the Chi'
Ride wit' Her, 'cause I know for me She'd die
Through good and bad, call on Her like I'm chirpin' Her
Couldn't be jealous 'cause other brothers worship Her
Walk this earth for Her, glory, I'm grateful
To be in Her presence I try to stay faithful

 

[Krs2]

Good album but one day it is I'll make since is my favourite common album

 

[Lucky_Lefty]

Least they could do is officially put the studio version of "The Food" on there for once.

There was already a studio version.

 

[Nostalgic]

There was already a studio version.

There is, but on the album it's the live version they did on the Chappelle Show.

 

[Nostalgic]

The original version of "They Say" had Consequence on it instead of Kanye.

Me and my wife still play this. Classic song , John Legend/Bilal combo is
