Dare I use the c word to describe this album? 
"Hot damn, Black America Again
Think of Sandra Bland as I'm staring in the wind
The color of my skin they comparing it to sin
The darker it gets the less fairer it has been"
Such lyrical prowess is a testament to 25 years of top tier MC'in

Sounds kinda tight. He's spitting on here, but something about new Common is kinda corny.
Can't place my finger on it. I can't be the only one that feels this way.
Nah you letting that "extend a hand" shyt cloud your judgement. He's on point.
I mean I'm with the notion of oneness, I believe that as an individual so I understand what he was saying but it came off bad and I had a feeling it would influence his output or even my perception, so I fell back for a lil bit on this album.
Listening to it now, really dope shyt.
I'ma let it marinate a lil bit more....but something is coming
a$$holes

No ID did the entire last album, and that was kind of a disaster so maybe he wanted to try something different this time out.

I forgot the name, but a song off here already is very appropriately used at the end of the documentary called"the 13th" on Netflix.
Edit
The song is there last song on here called "letter to the free".

With the amount of movies he's getting these days, one would expect his rapping to fall off like an ll cool j level of flabbiness. But it's the total opposite.That second verse on Pyramids
Com rapping like that 24 years after his debut dropped
Unbelievable
No ID was the main architect behind the Resurrection album
He's forever good in my eyes
Com got like 3 classics and a possible, plus more than a few other very good albums, and countless dope features
Name me 9 rappers with that resume
He has to be considered top 5 by any knowledgable, unbiased Hip Hop fan at this point
Dont compare this great album to that shyt
THIS is an ACTUAL pro-black album
actually addressing issues mixed in with great production, lyrics/rapping,etc
not some album with a gremlin nikka yelling and saying "dikk aint free
"

In a world where heavy sampling isn't possible he was exposed on Nobody's Smiling.
I've given this several plays. Solid album, love the whole theme and content. Common sounds inspired.
My standout tracks are black america again, red wine, pyramids and unfamiliar is dope af. All the bilal features fire too.
My only complaint, and i'm sorry, but Rain is terrible. Hearing John Legend over that track for so long is just horrible. shyt, i don't like the beat or Common's verse either. Throws me right off.
Other than that, this dope!
