That's my least favourite track. If you enjoyed that I can't imagine how you feel about the rest.

I'm not really a common fan so the majority of the album, to me, is just "aight". I'm really fukking with Rain, Joy and peace, Black America, Pyramids, and Letter to the free.
Which ones you feeling?

Stevie the R&B GOAT appearing in Black America Again
Just copped the physical and was surprised to see Robert Glasper all over this album. Loving hip hop and jazz coming together so often again. Album is still
Such a beautifully perfect album
Literally EVERY SONG besides Love Star is 5/5
The Bigger Picture and Pyramids are better than some MC's entire careers

where's the review doe?
also better/worse than Finding Forever?
Man I've been so busy with this web series I haven't had time to do any writing. Ima try to knock out a review hopefully by next week, but I'm going to hella busy all up until we start shooting in December
As far as Finding Forever, that's my PERSONAL favorite Common album and I'd say that thematically and conceptually, Black America Again is better. It's just so hard for me to put it above FF when FF had Black Maybe, Misunderstood, Forever Found, and The Game
But THIS album right here has been the soundtrack to my life all month. It's inspired me so much and given me a real creative jolt. In a lot of ways the web series is focusing on so much of what Common spoke on. I've listened to the title track about 67 times since it dropped. I constantly rewind Stevie singing "We Are Rewriting The Black American Story" because it encapsulates so much of what I am attempting to accomplish. If I ever meet Common I'm not shaking his hand, I'm bowing in his presence.
