Fans of early Common (Sense) get in here

I love Like Water For Chocolate but that was the end of the shyt-talking, hoe slapping, scumbag Common that was in all honesty deteriorating by that point.

Electric Circus...let's move on.

Be WAS a comeback and it is a good album...but it's so damn overrated because I think it was a lot of people's first Common album and it was released during the peak that whole Kanye West/Okayplayer/Chappelle Show wave. EC aside, it was still so...soft compared to his previous albums. It was always his 4th best to me and after Black America Again, it's about to be 5th.

One Day was the album where Common started making those bad, serious records like that terrible abortion song with Cee Lo. Also Badu reared her head for the first time on the throwaway type Roots song. And that stretch of songs about his grandma getting robbed was always a little strange to me.

There are some great No ID beats on it but it's a 3.5 album that arrived when the game was ready for A CLASSIC.

Abortion song with Cee-Lo? You mixed up two songs. Put the henny down, bruh.

Oh wait. Was the Cee Lo song called GOD? Yeah. Haven't played yhe album in a long, long time. So that's 2 bad songs I melded into 1 accidentally.

he talked all that revolutionary shyt, but the second Obama got in office he was kissing his ass.. made me realize hes full of shyt..

Jesus Christ that's right it was LAUREN on the abortion song. Was that joint weirdly pro life or am I imagining that?

The brother made ODIWAMS.
He is a legend. He is a pretty good actor but i selfishly wish he devoted more time to rap projects...

shyt-talking, hoe slapping, scumbag Common > crochet hat-wearing incense-burning Badu-simping rap Lionel Richie Common. This > The Light or Come Close or any of that bullshyt.

It was a good song to me.



What's funny is a couple of years later, he said "having more babies than Lauryn" as a metaphorical punchline.

Nah, not at all. Resurrection is one of the greatest rap albums of all time to me. His next album wasn't as good but was still dope. I mean come on...



Like Water For Chocolate is an amazing, beautiful album.

Electric Circus was a miss but tbh I need to revisit it.

Be is a classic.

Finding Forever is cool

After that he fell off although Nobody Smiling isn't bad.

That's not a bad catalog for a rapper

2 classics and 2 more dope ass albums...

Like Water For Chocolate is also a classic breh. No album with a song like Sixth Sense on it cannot be anything other than classic




Its even better than Be. LWFC and Supreme Cliente were the best albums of 2000

Common really is the Chi Town Nas like he said years back. Their careers have the same peak and valleys album wise.

 

[nephew]

he talked all that revolutionary shyt, but the second Obama got in office he was kissing his ass.. made me realize hes full of shyt..

didn't he rap about Obama becoming president before he even ran tho? I can't remember the song but I know heard it before.



dreamer/believer was pretty cool to me I can't lie.. that joint gold on there goes hard. Nothing like Be or anything but I'm juss sayin.. joint had a few vibey bangers

 

[ISO]

He's one of the greatest rappers of All-Time...

Can I Borrow A Dollar?
Resurrection
One Day It'll All Make Sense
Like Water For Chocolate
Be

Also, some other dope albums like Finding Forever. In 2016 he just dropped a great album in Black America Again.

fukk that spineless jelly back c00n I'll never forget this sh!t


Rapper Common: Racism Can End If Blacks Extend Hand “in love” to Whites

“Hey, we all know there’s been some bad history in our country. We know that racism exists. I’m extending a hand like, ‘Hey, we want to get past this. We’ve been bullied, we’ve been beat down, but we don’t want it anymore,'” said the rapper.

“We’re not extending a fist,” he continued. “We’re not saying, “you did us wrong!’ It’s more like, “Hey, I’m extending my hand in love. Let’s forget about the past as much as we can, and let’s move from where we are now. How can we help each other? Can you try to help us, because we’re going to help ourselves.”

this^^^^^

 

[Chip Skylark]

Electric Circus is a great album.
