Common "Be" Appreciation thread!

[HopeKillCure]

please don't put this in no Booth cause this for them TLR heads.




Maaaaaan Listen! Soooooohh many damn bars. Top to bottom lyrical savage rap! Rhythm and bad bwoy blues. Man said, "might of got a little head but I wasn't really cheating"

"Black men walking with white girls on they arms. I be mad like I know they moms"

So many qoutables!

Ain't felt that good about common since the first time I heard Maintaining

 

[Yehuda]

That intro.

 

[BmoreGorilla]

This his best album especially after that Electric Circus bullshyt

 

[Anerdyblackguy]

Definetly a masterpiece of an album.

"Some say that I'm a dreamer cause I talk about it often. Seen the hardest nikka soften wit' his homie in a coffin"

 

[bangbreh]

That was one of the freshest first listens to any album ever for me
Called it a classic early and never thought otherwise since.

 

[HopeKillCure]

This his best album especially after that Electric Circus bullshyt

Agreed. His best work by miles...Amazing track to trackThis album is illmatic and miseducation of Lauryn Hill levels. Joint reasonable doubt levels

Faithful >>> . Dunno why, but i always felt that in the heart

 

[Yehuda]

So many nikkas stacked upon each other
It's the black upon each other that we love so much
Wonder how many of us, these drugs gonna touch
Used to gang bang, ain't really thug that much
Rather have some thick broads than the dutch to clutch
Went to school in Baton Rouge for a couple of years
My college career got downed with a couple of beers
Came back home, now I gotta pay back loans
Same nikka, same block, same shyt they own
Only thing different, quicker, they click that chrome
In my defence, yo I had to hit that zone
Man to man, I'm good working with my hands
My generation never understood working for the man
And, of being broke I ain't a fan
Now I stand in the same spot, as my old man
My life I planned not to be on this corner
I still wanna see California
But this is my world

 

[HopeKillCure]

That intro.

"We got arms but won't reach for the sky..."

Man calling for a gun war soo casually that Shyte is wild

 

[HopeKillCure]

Faithful >>> . Dunno why, but i always felt that in the heart

Me too Favorite track with my favorite common qoutable on the whole album: "might have got a little head but I wasn't really cheating"

That rationale made sense once upon a time thats how you know Common was writing as a real cat
