[erker]

No. Listen to Be.

Common moved to Hollywood amongst all them white bytches and lattes and became soft. Call it what it is. He was never an amazing rapper to me, but after he went to Hollywood its like his flow was offbeat and his subject matter sounds like he was some tree hugging granola eating NEWBLACK

OP just rambling. He doesn't want a real answer to this question. so

 

[KravenMorehead™]

Be = classic
Finding Forever = Be's twin brother
The Light = classic
Come close = classic
I used to love H.E.R. = classic
verses on "respiration" & "the bizness" = classic
Punch Drunk Love = personal classic

 

[CHICAGOrilla]

[Thatrogueassdiaz]

Shut the fukk up

 

[HustlerOfVirginiA]

He says some stupid shyt but he's undeniable as an mc

Can I Borrow was ehhhh but Soul by the Pound will always be my ish. Resurrection was a definite improvement and damn good album. One Day was even better, but I HATE Like Water for Chocolate, and don't even mention Electric Circus or Universal Mind Control.

So he has classics - Be
Damn good - Resurrection, One Day, Finding Forever, Dreamer/Believer
Horrible - Can I Borrow, Like Water for Chocolate, Electric Circus, Universal Mind Control, Nobody's Smiling (but The Neighborhood was classic)

Common is garbage now and has been a disgrace to the culture for the past 10 yrs or so. That being said, if you don't think from about '95 to '00, he wasn't one of the illest Mcs out, arguably top 5 or 10 of that era, I don't know what to tell you. That's what makes this current incarnation of him so hard to fathom.

Could be worse. He could bea man on a net message board with a pic of a toddler as his avatar

Champagne Papi put the nail in the coffin

It bothers me when the Gods get to acting like the broads
Guess every team doesn't come complete with nikkas like ours
That's why I see no need to compete with nikkas like y'all
I just ask that when you see me you speak up nikkas that's all
Don't be ducking like you never wanted nothing
It's feeling like rap change
There was a time it was rugged
Back when if a nikka reached it was for the weapon
Nowadays nikkas reach, just to sell they record

 

[JayBaldacci]

Be had 2 much kanye west influence.

and looking back dreamer/believer was just decent on a good day.
