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

[Da Rhythm Rebel]

Could have done without So Cool

 

[Wepa Man]

Mark my words.. there will be an Electric Circus appreciation revival amongst gen-z in a few years.

I like the album but im in the minority

Real heads have had food studio version since iPod days

I wasn't even aware this was a thing a lot of people ain't heard. I bushed that version when I downloaded it years ago (probably off of the old forum) , still in my music library taking up dust .

 

[FlyRy]

I had so cool as well from Japanese bonus. So only new one for me is the movement

Electric circus is a classic. Slept on. Erykah Badu magick really brings out the best of these lyricists. They never return back to who they were.

Prolly gonna be some remixes and instrumentals

For what’s its worth I’ve heard common say in interviews that there really wasn’t anything recorded during the Be sessions that hasn’t already been released. Pretty much everything they did made it to the final release. Tagging @dubsmith_nz too.

This is the one joint I was hoping would be on the Anniversary that didn't make it. It's incorrectly titled below on youtube, and it's produced by Kanye and not Dilla. The actual title is Let It Be Known. It's hard though.

Movement is dope, Dilla joint from the NBA 2k6 soundtrack. Always fukked with that one. There was a fire Little Brother 9th Wonder joint on there too

The instrumentals

I had to vibe out to those yesterday. Kanye was was locked in on this album

 

[Nostalgic]

 

[Ziggiy]

I’ve always thought The Food live version was dope and a great inclusion on the album. The studio version lacks energy in my opinion.

It's pretty amazing that damn near every song they made in those sessions was lightning in a bottle.

 

[BuckFilly]

Shout out my nikka pat who put me on to this album 20 years ago

 

[Po pimp]

Classic album. “Real People” was my favorite track. I can’t remember if there was a deluxe back then, but for some reason, I already have “So Cool” saved

Agreed. I'm not saying Finding Forever is wack by any means, but the difference in the Kanye produced joints on there versus the ones on Be were always night and day IMO. Their Be tracks are a solid notch above.

Not to mention the Dilla inclusions on Be.
