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

[jadillac]

This album hit twice for me. Once when it was released, then again several years ago I re-listened again multiple times and appreciated it even more.

If this was getting a physical release I would be expecting new unheard music but in this age with deluxe versions being catered to streaming morons I doubt it.

 

[skillz2]

Classic!

 

[Tommy Gibbs]

She was 56 at the time and lived in the BX when hip hop first dropped. But why is that surprising? What percentage of black people in the US do you think have listened to an entire hip hop album?

that makes sense now though. I said 20s or 60s. I was close

 

[KingsOfKings]

Classic!

So are these new tracks going to be from the "Be" sessions with Kanye or are these just going to be some remixes and instrumentals?

 

[Gifted one]

Hopefully we get some unreleased Dilla+Common collabs on the Deluxe

For real, "It's Your World" is probably one of my favorite tracks on the album. Has that throwback nostalgic vibe to it.

If Common got more songs from Dilla in the Be sessions, we need to hear them!

I remember someone posting this on Okayplayer around 2010. I wonder if this going to be one of the eleven tracks.



If the beat is familiar to anyone here, 9th Wonder used the same sample for Kaze's Stay A Customer.

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.

Real heads have had food studio version since iPod days

TBH the Kanye version is light years better. More melodic and that bassline slaps much more

I'd recommend y'all checking out this channel, it's soo good if you're a music head

One of my favorite albums hope they dropping a vinyl version.

Beat sounds bomb squad-esque
