What kind of pretentious cac criticism is this? "Predictable", it ain't a movie
Possibly one of the few classics to come out in the last 17 years.

Not my fault you have a limited understanding of the word predictable.What kind of pretentious cac criticism is this? "Predictable", it ain't a movie
Common is one of those rappers that nikkas put Common in that "legend" category for unknown reasons. But truth be told, Common has never been that good of a rapper...nikkas gonna neg me, but some of Common shyt is borderline trash.
nikkas probably never even heard "Be" and gonna be in here like " BE is a CLASSIC!!!REAL HIPHOP!!!
unknown?
Have you even heard dude's catalog? Dude has quotables for years.Not many rappers in history can write something this dope
"I ride the rhythm like a Schwinn bike
When in dim light
I use insight to enlight
Then write something that's skin tight
Words of wisdom wail from my windpipe
Imagination's in flight
I send light, like Ben's kite I've been bright"
I don't know how anyone listens to the song "Resurrection", "6th Sense", "1999", "Invocation", "The bytch in Yoo", etc and says "yeah, this guy was never a good rapper".
You obviously haven't heard his shyt. His catalog speaks for itself. He's obviously a legend. I don't think he's top 5 or even top 20 but he's in the top 50 convo.What kind of pretentious cac criticism is this? "Predictable", it ain't a movie
his comment makes perfect sense and flew over your head. It is what it is

I've heard all of his albums except the shyt he made around 2007-2014. I don't think rappers who are just top 50 should be called "legends". Maybe top 20. That's just me tho.
honestly, i don't care much for that album now.
it was a great re-introduction to the world for Common but last time i listened to it i just felt kind of
surprised me.
clearly i didn't have the connection to the album as i thought i did.

blatant trolling. anyone who doesnt think be is a decent album is a clown
I disagree, especially now that there are millions of rappers. Think about it - there have been thousands of professional (as in, had a record deal, some sort of exposure) throughout history. To be in the top 50 is pretty damn legendary.

because it was never good. In fact, "Be" was one of the first "wtf" moments I had as a hip hop fan. The press dikkrode the shyt out of it (because it was Kanye) and I thought the album was trash on release. I was a Common fan by the time "Be" came out. I was familiar with his work. The hype didn't make sense to me at all.
After a while, I figured out that a lot of these writers were new cacs who either liked the weak music or were just towing the record label line. By 2004, a lot of major releases were damn near unlistenable but there would be insane write ups/hype for the shyt. Prior to 2004 there was always hype in hip hop but shyt would actually live up to the hype in some way. 2004 is really when the woat era began imo

op
i already gave my reasons
I don't understand how grown men go trolling for attention from nikkas let alone nikkas they don't know. fukking place is filled with weirdos.
I was deployed when Be dropped. I didn't have the luxury of internet hype at the time. My wife sent it to me in a care package and I listened to that shyt almost everyday while I was there. I still listen to it a few times a year. I fukk with all his albums except for UMC, Electric Circus, and Can I Borrow a Dollar. I still listen to songs from these albums, just can't play all the way through.
