fukk this c00n :pacspit:
And I.Used.To.Love.Common, too yo :wow: but ever since that coo-coo-c00ning he pulled not too long ago on his #newBlack shyt, I can't even look at his music the same.

Bruh showed his true colors.
for real he needs to stop trying to do shyt for acceptance.

KungFu Fighting & kicks that are fast as Lightning


These are my favorites

funky for u was my ish, :banderas:

crazy how u dont listen to an album for years then come back to it and everything sounds fresh n new again

This whole album is on point, from lyrics, to production, to soulful sounding cuts like this....its his own personal "Thriller"


He still hasn't topped it imo

I don't know why some are calling Common a c00n, because I saw the interview in its whole form, and what he was saying was, we as a country need to move on. I didn't see it as kissing ass, but, I knew that is how it was going to be seen as because people love to take things out of context, and argue. I'm scared to even talk to people about subjects in depth because for some reason, people hear what they want, and not what you are saying.

Anyway, "funky for u" is my shyt! This album and "to pimp a butterfly" kind of have the same feel. The funk mixed with hip hop, mixed the artsy vibe, has never really been done before this Common album.

I just don't get it. I bought this album the day it dropped hated it then and still hate it. Outside of 6th Sense and sometimes Doin It, i just can't get into this at all. Dudes really like The Questions and The Light? It's too hippie-esque for me. This and Electric Circus are horrible and by far the two worst albums in his collection.

Worse than Be? Cmon son

Common went more crotchet, not less crochet as his career progressed.

Be (his best), Finding Forever, Dreamer/Believer, Nobody Smiling are hip-hop sounding albums. Those more or less resemble Resurrection. Like Water for Chocolate and Electric Circus are hippie albums, him trying to do Dre 3000, without the same results. It didn't fit. Even One Day It'll All Make Sense is hip-hop sounding even though he's getting into the more acoustic sound. Electric Circus was the first Com Sense album I didn't buy because of Like Water. That 1-2 punch is horrible.
