I think Common's discography is equal to or greater than 95 percent of rappers

[How Sway?]

His discography is strong on paper, but no one ever says "Common is in my top 5" or "top X"

Never knew why is it like that

cuz hes not from new york and none of his albums had a huge impact...

ill say this..can i borrow a dollar to resurrection is prolly one of the best examples of rapper improving greatly from one album to another

 

[intilectual recipricol]

This is true... Chicago is well represented in the top 10 rappers. LWFC is one of my personal alltime favorites

[The Ruler 09]

[The Ruler 09]

Common is in my top 15.

 

[Young Scrap]

Great and powerful thread bro, Com Sense is in my top 5

1) Nas
2) Jay-Z
3) B.I.G.
4) Common
5) Rakim

 

[Hypris]

Common's discography is up there with Ghostface's and Nas' discography IMO. Dude has what, 3 or 4 classics?

This is my top 3 dead or alive.

Be and Finding Forever are one of the best back to back releases in history. And I like UMC a lot.

underrated post

Be is a transcendant album.

When I first heard the Be intro I zoned out and never zoned back until the album finished. It was incredible.

I was discussing LWFC with my brother over the weekend, he said he wasn't feeling it either. You might have to take a listen to that again. Thelonious, The Light, 6th Sense, Nag Champa, the Question, it's a ton of great songs on that album. I don't think Kanye gets enough credit for saving his career though, Be & Finding Forever are classics, they stand the test of time.

It's a good album. 6th sense is a classic. It was a let down to me after one day though. Same with Finding Forever. I always looked at that record as the half assed follow up to Be. FF is still a great record though. Probably a 4 as well. I've given LWFC numerous tries too.

Juvenile Hell to Infamous.

 

[FreshAIG]

Be is WILD overrated to me

 

[The_Third_Man]

Easily.

5% is at least 100 rappers by the way. So common discography being better than 95% don't mean much

 

[InstantKlassik]

A little off topic but he should've left "Believe" with the simple piano loop as the beat shyt was the sped up delivery on the album version and the different beat were cool but wasn't fukking with this

 

[Nefrodamus]

I was thinking about this the other day.

Man, if he didnt come off so preachy, I honestly think he would've gotten more recognition.

Maybe its because I'm not a christian, but the constant religious references are kind of tiring
