But I did five mill' - I ain't been rhymin like Common since." - Jay-Z


At one point in time from like 94' to 2000 Common use to be one of the most best lyricist in Hip Hop. In fact, he use to be one of my favorites lyricist. Breh had a unique way of flowing lyrically yet poetically. :wow:

Both him and Canibus were dropping quotables left and right in this joint. The one line that always gets me is the one where Common goes "Relaxed like Dru Down's hair" :damn::wow:

One of his most overlooked songs is this joint (A Film Called Pimp) with MC Lyte, where he plays a pimp in the song:

Com fell off but Com in his prime (Resurrection to Finding forever) is one of my top 15 rappers of all time.


Damn shame he let Pharell produce the bulk of that one album which fukked his his career.



Pharell is fukking garbage, dude specializes in hit or miss mainstream hits, and isn't good at producing quality material album cut tracks........If Pusha had of been rapping on Kanye beats for the last 10 yrs instead Neptunes he'd be bigger than he is now

That shyt was fire. I remember the reaction to Blue Sky when it dropped back on the :hamster:, I 've never seen such an overwhelmingly positive reaction. nikkas was losing their minds.

James Fauntleroy murdered that album, matter fact it was pretty much a Cocaine 80s album if you ask me :ahh:
