Common - Nag Champa (Afrodisiac For The World)

[Sylar]

instrumental:


so many quotables on this joint

Common Sense's pen game and rhyme schemes is underrated

that 3rd verse is so damn beautiful

Women cry, children laugh, men dance
I refuse to lose self and try to win fans
Over, weight on my shoulder fluctuates like Oprah's
My refrigerator poetry's magnetic like ultra
You couldn't hang if you was a poster
Posing like a bytch for exposure

It's rumors of gay emcees, just don't come around me with it
You still rockin hickies, don't let me find out he did it

Got my eyes on the tiger, eyes on the prize
Eyes on the thighs, of Mary J. Blige
Imagining how good the cat must be
Stop eatin meat, lost weight, but I still rap husky
My verse depth, is that of a baby's first step
Or the old lady who died and the nurse wept
I flow like cursive writing, inviting you and yours to my openess
Shows allow me to cop range like a vocalist
But man does not live on bread alone
What good is a range when it's time to head home?

Yo I forgot how dope this album was.

 

[DontEemTry]

By the time he hit that last verse he was spazzin crazy

Plus he worked with MJB years later, I always wondered if she ever heard that line from this song

Can't play that and not play this...

[EA]

One of Dilla’s best beats ever. Common went off on this

 

[Motife43]

One of Dilla’s best beats ever. Common went off on this

shyt is so clean. Gotta turn off Migos and Gibbs real quick and listen to this

 

[Jx2]

One of the best on an album of classic tracks.

I found this album going into the Summer before freshmen yea of hs. Its honestly probably most responsible for entirely shifting me away from of some of my middle school musical tastes (DMX, Eminem, Hot Boys) to the likes of Common, Roots, Nas, Mobb, Wu etc.

He's overdue for another one of these and am I too much of a dreamer for believing that a Soulquarians (sans Dilla of course) should happen?

The Questions is one of my all time favorite summer tracks

Why do these girls...look so good in the Summer??

 

[Ironman]

Com blacked on that third verse

 

[brownsugah]

Top 3 song on LWFC.

 

[jilla82]

Common been so corny for so long I forgot how much I used to listen to him.

Ressurection & LWFC are two of my favorite albums ever.
