Just the fact that 4 of his albums can challenge for number 1 is proof as to why com is one of the GOATS. and in my personal top 3(Nas, ghost, com). If this new Pete rock Collab is as great as he says. And he drops another 4.5. I might just have to put him above ghost. Commons catalog is insane.
So you in all the Drake threads shytting on Drizzy for ghostwriters, but got Ghost in your top 3 when we’ve caught that nikka in 4k? :jbhmm:

And I love Starks to death, he’s one of my all time favorites

Y’all boys on the Coli are wild :pachaha:

I know you didn't just compare ghost to drake :hhh: .....absolutely nobody around the Wu camp has co signed superb in any way. The guy has zero credibility. Went to prison for molesting a 12 year old girl. Got banished from the Wu then started talking greasy.

Caught in 4k:mjlol:.....I know you're not talking about that recording of him spitting a BPW verse. Like that's so hard to do after the fact:hhh:.....all these years but you wait til now to release this "original" recording. Yea ok. Even 50 didn't back yayo on that shyt

We have undeniable proof of Aubrey copying songs top to bottom. Never once did he deny them. But you right. You dudes on the coli are wild. Love Aubrey so much you using the words of a child molesting junkie just to defend him. Jesus Christ.:mjlol:

Anyone not named Nobody's smiling.. but admittedly I gave those last 2-3 elevator rap snoozers he dropped about 1 listen each.

He's still ashamed of Electric Circus I see... the court of public opinion strikes again.

Just realized we have the same top 3 but i have Com then Nas .... I then have Sean Price next. .... a shuffle with those 4 is a productive day at work..
If we want groups.. it's De La then Tribe then Mobb then EPMD

I’m not a Drake fan lmao

All that other shyt sound like excuses. Even I don’t usually bring up the Superb ghost writing shyt and sweep it under the rug cuz of my love for Starks

But it is what it is :manny:

Common used to be in my top 5, and to be honest I let his shift to the bohemian coffee shop persona rapper in his latter years effect my opinion on him and I just stopped listening to him like I used to. This thread got me putting some of his old shyt back on, back when he was really rapping rapping and... :banderas:

LWFC was one of the first albums I remember marking my pivot out of listening to rap in middle school to when I discovered basically everyone in the Soulquarians movement. That Black on Both Sides, Train of Thought and Internal Affairs all came out within the next two years. What an amazing time for music

He has one of the greatest catalogs in rap history. Not sure what more you can expect. If anything he greatly exceeded expectations. And had more longevity than most.
He has an extremely dope catalog...and on top of that he's a phenomenal MC...he's amazing off the top, he's amazing on stage and can move and rock any crowd. And he's really nice just on some pure rapping shh!t, he's excellent with the bars.

He might be Top 15-20 in the history of rap music, imo...you can probably argue that he's higher than that. I think if he was more street/materialistic/brag heavy like most of his peers he'd be held in higher regard by the masses and you'd see his name pop up way more often than it does.

Above the fray.

I respect your take. I used to have rap arguments about my favorite artists. Fans were the original street teams / promo men.

One thing I will say in general, I've seen a lot of top artist and album lists from friends and fans. Rarely is Common in anybody's list. His output of songs and features is filled with great work, but that classic album is just not there.

If you go back and read any top 10-25 album or artist lists on this forum, I'm not sure you will see many Common mentions. Even from members who fukk with him and are championing him in this thread.
