cats sleepin' on Diamonds, the only weak album in Com's catalog to me is universal mind control :manny:

It would've been dope if Dilla could have did the entire Be album as initially expected. Dude didn't deserve to die the way he did. Props to Com for keeping his name out there.

Common sounds good over just good boom-bap hip-hop. Im still feelin that intro on BE kanye blacked out on the beat. When common get back to the roots of HIS sound ...its almost nobody who sounds smoother .

So soulful dont yall agree ?:wow:

I heard the sample... Kanye didn't black out at all on the beat son he literally just let the sample play... real talk.

Well kayne sampled the first 20-30 seconds. The sample is dope and dam respect for kanye for finding it :whew: What makes the song special is the live instrumentation combined with the sample ...i thought j dilla(rip) produced it when i first heard it ...

Rewind that :whoo:

The hypnotizing beat beat was made for storytelling, Common slaughtered this shyt.

I know it ain't fair but every since Life Is Good every time I hear a dope No ID beat I always imagine what Nas would sound like over it..picture the Gawd spitting some retrospective shyt over this beat:whew::ahh:
