Common - Nobody's Smiling (Discussion Thread)

[mr.africa]

I LIKE IT, BUT HIS PREVIOUS ALBUM WAS MILES BETTER!!!!!

 

[Black Magisterialness]

Good album....but christ I cannot STAND the middle of it...the tracks between Diamonds and Nobody's Smiling are almost unlistenable.. shoulda swapped those for the bonus tracks and its a 8.75/10 album

 

[Mr. Somebody]

Listened to this album once and never again.

yo big seans flow was kinda flawless at the end of diamonds







"moving like a roc a fella ella...















But you cant take my dame away

 

[CASHAPP]

Yeah mos def man...Dreamer was dope but this is darker and more raw to me..

Can't go wrong with either album though.. As long as he stays the hell away from Pharell, I'm good money..

I mean i'm sure its cool but I still think Nas dropped the best album(i mean EP) so far this year ....nothing on this Common album is touching "Gunsmoke Cologne" ..

Translation: if you grade this on an adjusted curve to compensate for the fact that Shammago is possibly the most polite, kindest hip hop head of all time - album is a 2 mic travesty.

lyrics are good but man what was Com budget on this? Beats were garbage

 

[iNad925]

Wow really enjoyed this album front-to-back. Its probably because I went in with zero expectations, bbut the cohesiveness of the project and the production make this a solid 7.5-8/10 for me

 

[iLLusoYuN_Da_Adidas_King]

NOT COMMON'S STRONGEST WORK BUT IM NOT MAD AT HIM.

 

[loyola llothta]

I love this album. Dark and gritty

 

[livewire]

i like this...you gotta give it a few good listens and let it play through....some of the beats were pretty weak tho

 

[dora_da_destroyer]

guess i'm in the minority, i'm liking this album. good balance of energy, plenty of varying topics,

 

[Grand Champ]

He got some joints on here (The Neighborhood, Real, Rewind That, Kingdom) but at times he sounds bored and the production is inconsistent. No Fear and Diamonds were just ok. Overall I give it 3.5 mics
