Common - Black America Again (Discussion Thread)

[Ziggiy]

I'm scared that is gonna be some "New Black" "All Lives Matter" nonsense

I trying figure the cover out...why no black woman and man?

stop worrying and LISTEN it the album, there's no c00ning or suspect lyrics at all

This shyt is really good? I heard that Love Star single a few weeks ago and it was so bad it had me hoping he would retire.

Streaming the album now since I just read on wiki that Karriem Riggins produced the whole shyt, I wanted to listen just for the production since Riggins is a beast but goddamn Common sounds like he hopped in the Delorean. Only a few tracks in and this is sounding like if Common was able to link back up with Dilla to create Like Water For Chocolate 2. Love Star is still horrid tho.

 

[Ziggiy]

Every song from Red Whine on is

Black America Again is still my personal favorite track. Followed by Bigger Picture and Pyramids. He put on a muthafukking RAP CLINIC on Pyramids

How does this stack up against Be & Finding Forever? Or even The Dreamer/The Believer?

Be
Black America
The Dreamer
Finding Forever

Imo

[Ashtrey]

Com is byke

 

[Cadillac]

Unfamiliar is dope as hell.

He was spitting on that

 

[Cadillac]

Bilals part on Bigger picture. I like the best more than Common.

So far this lp >>> nobodys smiling(tho i found it good)

The production is great on here

 

[Harry B]

Pyramids is crazy .

He haven't been spitting like that since the 2000

 

[Cadillac]

Bilals fts r amazing on this.

Every song with him r the best on this joint

 

[We Major]

I've not enjoyed listening to a Common album this much since Be.

Edit.

 

[Deltron]

okayplayer reported that Com and Riggins are already working on a follow up to BAA.

I just started listening but I like this album more than Nobody's Smiling and it's at least as good as The Dreamer so far.
