Common "Be" a Decade Later

[Rapmastermind]

The fact it's 10 years later and I can still play this straight through is why I feel it's a After 2000's Classic. No less than 4.5 MICS. "Finding Forever" is a great sequel but it was a step down from "Be". I still get chills hearing some of the song and beats. Some of Dilla's last work before his passing. Ye and Common were in the zone. Album brings back so many memories for me. "It's Your World" is just an outer body experience for me. Of course Pops comes through as always at the end, RIP.

Great comeback album for Common and his most recent album that's a classic or damn near.

Great shyt. I can listen to it all the way through for sure. I was mad at first it was only 11 joints but now I think that's perfect

the intro was beautiful, but i needed some time to really dig the rest of the album

one of the few very good albums since after 2000

Classic. The Common and Ye collab was a match made in heaven. Miss that G.O.O.D era sound.

You can play this album all the way through. Undeniable classic imo

 

[Busby]

I will say this, it was a helleva comeback album for Common. Kanye WAS the "Drake stimulus package" before Drake.

This..

And the fact that Ye worked on this album around the same time he did Late Registration is

 

[Mr. Bytes]

[Jack Trippa 3z company ho]

Excellent album. So cohesive, Common was really spitting. Smooth melodic beats as well as some really hard ass songs like The Corner and Chi City.

We don't get albums like this anymore.
