First time listening to the album I'm on my way home. I was amazed by Common's poetic rhymes and substance. The album is pure piffs.

 

[Big Mel]

Piff is singular. No need to pluralise.

 

[havoc]

I can't believe that I missed out on thus great album when it was first release. The album is lyrically flawless.

 

[DaHNIC82]

Pyramids was fukking crazy

 

[Inspect Her Deck]

My stance on this album hasn't changed a bit.

Best album of 2016.

Tribe a close second.

As for where this fits in Common's discog, I've made peace with the fact that Finding Forever might be slightly better.

So I got....

Like Water for Chocolate
Resurrection
Be
One Day It'll All Make Sense
Finding Forever
Black America Again
Can I Borrow a Dollar?
The Dreamer/The Believer
Electric Circus
Nobody's Smiling
Universal Mind Control

album of the year

album is ok and a mediocre project from common. felt like it was r&b singer _____ ft common for 2/3 of the album. blankface was AOTY 2016.

 

[Ziggiy]

This album is platinum in my heart

Best album of 2016 narrowly eclipsing Tribe and Gambino

 

[Playaz Eyez]

Not album of the year that year, but much better than his last album. He was really spitting on a lot of these tracks

 

[L. Deezy]

Seeing this thread just now reminded me I totally forgot that I never listened to this album. Holy Shyt!!

[L. Deezy]

Little Chicago Boy

You the only person in this thread hating on this great body of work



Common showing nothing but love and appreciation to the black woman on this record and you still hating

 

[GoldenGlove]

why the fack has this fallen off the face of the earth ???

no reviews online, no nothing

all i see is tribe this tribe that

the world ain't got no love for common ? damn

I found that funny to, because when I saw all the praise Tribe got for their album and nobody talking about this one.

I clearly thought this album was better hands down. It just shows you that people buy into the hype around shyt so much that they ignore other stuff.

Yeah Com's discog is tough when laid out on paper

It's hard to think of a rapper who's been able to still great at their craft this long in the game

Common really has like 3 Certified classics and 3 Certified GREAT albums in his discography
