This nikka had dilla locked in an apartment making beats till he passed away.

Common better not come out in 20 years selling unreleased dilla beats

outside of the "rewind that" (which is a great tribute to dilla) i ain't really feelin' this

i can't quite put my finger on what it is but the album just don't move me like that. i like that it doesn't sound like anythin' else i've heard this year however that's not always a great thing if you don't think the music is good or great.

i think it's the lack chemistry between common's rhymin' and the beats. sometimes it seems like common ain't even tryin' to rhyme over them rather just around them. that's just my 2 cents though :manny:

i will say, this is by far his most interestin' album in a long time. it seems like he was really challengin' himself on this album to come with somethin' fierce

off subject, but...

...have Common and Twista ever done a song together?
Its odd they dont have many (if any) songs together.
