That Common It's Your World song still has me :wow:

[Mike Ock]

I love that this song ended off the album. A lot of lines on there I like a lot:

"...This is Chicago in the hay day
Similar to Good Times/
I guess that I was Jay Jay"

"Said it was her toes, but I could tell her soul hurt" ....great double entendre


I also think that was his father's best outro dialogue

 

[HendriX]

"Said it was her toes, but I could tell her soul hurt" ....great double entendre

I though his pops did a good job on Forever Begins too..

 

[RenAi!]

i want to be a DUCK!

one of the kids said that?...... that's pretty awesome.

 

[Big Mel]

best song on 'Be' by far and perfectly illustrates the enormous gap between genius (Dilla) and a bolstered, above average hack (kanye).

 

[Rice N Beans]

I was when one of the little girls in the ending was like " i wanna be the first African American President of the United States" one thing at time kiddo

It was a nice touch on the track though. That little boy was like "I WANNA BE AN ASTRONAUT!" made me think of my little nephew. Such high hopes for little kids. You're gonna make it little mans. You're gonna make it.

 

[TrapHouse Rock]

this album man

we can talk about who brought it between kanye and dilla, but every party involved did something special on this shyt


this along with resurrection is the com sense that jumps in and out of my top 5 ever


"love is.." when he talks about almost fallin in the coffin
"the corner" is that like grimy winter walking around in your heavy coat shyt
first time i heard testify and she was the queenpin

nah but foreal every song and i try not to gas up as much shyt








EDIT: i didnt even mention the track the thread was about , it's probably my favorite

 

[Big Mel]

album is huff. never play it.

 

[Woodrow]

The fact they knew the best version of food was the chapelle show version and went with that on the album, intro and all...

I remember there were like 4 other versions of that track, all at different speeds. None of them touch chapelle's tho.

 

[Piff Tannen]

perfect away to end the album when u start off with this . Damn time flying fast i was senior in high school when this shyt dropped

that was EVERYONES GRIPE as that may be one of the better Kanye beats from his supposed golden era.

 

[Trapped]

The song used as the sample is also a classic.



But this song is my favourite Common track of all time, simply

The Modulations - Share What You Got, Keep What You Need - YouTube

But this song is my favourite Common track of all time, simply

 

[ReasonableMatic]

"Four pounds and pounds a verb from out of towners
It's hard to stay grounded
We stay high, thats why old folks down us
Lost, nobody found us, the force that surrounds us
Ain't with us, they get us on the ground and hit us
We paint pictures of the chains under their names and scriptures"

"Her step-father that he was 'Ike', so her mother he 'striked'
she got to like like-minded nikkaz, who liked crimes and figures
Doing white lines and liquor, see hard times had kicked her..
In the ass.. it used to be thicker..
Life is fast, some choose to be quicker
I remember in high school she had a passion to sing
Now she see herself in a casket in dreams
These are the children of crack and rap, blacks done lack
Self-esteem, yo we forgot the dream"

nikkas can't DENY the way Common was completely blackin' out over that HEAT Dilla provided man..

Bar for bar he was just SPAZZING

Flow-wise, the Step-father/like-minded part he was getting busy

Songs like this make me wish an Artist would just spit a 1000 bars

Be was a CLASSIC, no debating

 

[HendriX]

"Her step-father that he was 'Ike', so her mother he 'striked'
she got to like like-minded nikkaz, who liked crimes and figures
Doing white lines and liquor, see hard times had kicked her..
In the ass.. it used to be thicker..

The flow is on this part was outta this world man..definition of MURDERING a track!

 

[newworldafro]

Charmander over there shiiting on Dilla like he ain't put in work in this hip hop music....
