Take off the John Legend track and this album is damn near flawless in my opinion. Love Star is listenable :ehh:

the Rain track isn't bad in itself it's a great track but John Legend is on for way too damn long and it takes a while for Common to get on the track itself...

but it could be done without entirely and I wouldn't mind either

Better than expected.

This is his strongest effort since Finding Forever I think. I liked The Dreamer / The Believer but no records stuck for me although I enjoyed a number of them. Nobody's Smiling was poor.

Ya'll don't understand

Holy war, tap into you like Savion
But I'm a orator, the corduroy boy
Came the door-to-door name down the corridor of fame
I walk, like an Egyptian on a mission to listen to conditions
Envision a vision of what we wishing
I've been commissioned to deprison the prism of your mind
Spit the wisdom of the one devine
Close encounter of the wonder kind, front a line
Shift the paradigm with a pair of rhymes

This dude LEFT EARTH for a hot second :damn:

I can fukk with love star. you already know common is gonna have one cheesy ass love song on his albums. honestly the main song that's been hard for me to get into is "rain". way too much john legend and that beat is moist as fukk. it's not even a beat, it's just music. and it's garbage. it sounds like the theme music for a lifetime tv series and shyt. wish he woulda cut that. album woulda been a straight play through. or he should have at least put it at the end. it feels more like an intro/outro than anything.
