fukk it. I might just take this over BE. idk. as a common stan from way back, I just never fukked with BE on that level. I don't know what it was about that album. there wasn't one bad track on there but the shyt just didn't hit me like that. loved it when it first dropped but haven't had any desire to play it in years. meanwhile I always bump resurrection, ODIAMS, and LWFC. and this album is more of that sound. BE was just too "pretty" to me. when The Corner dropped I was hoping the whole album would be like that. those are the type of beats common shines on.

Be isn't a bad album but it's INSANELY overrated.

Right? Expectations were low and Common fukked around and killed it. Only track I'm not liking is Love Star

It's not my favourite at the moment either but I think that might be down to hearing it before the whole album, so it kinda sticks out.

Album truly is brilliant. Love Star ain't that special to me and Rain maybe a little eh but the rest I cannot complain bout whatsoever. ODIAMS is similar-ish to this album but an upgrade in quality. Obviously the first three are in a league of their own.

Common better win that BRAColi 2016 MVP
:wow:
