My favorite Common album is LWFC. That album is so versatile. That's what I love the most about that album. It has it all.

somewhere between a pair of D cup tiddies
i really liked "one day.."when it came out...
same w/be, both hit me right away like it wasn't comin out the player anytime soon.
it's a rarity if albums get constant spin right off the bat and for a good period.

I'm a big Common fan and all, but am I the only one who feels that Ressurection is very overrated? :what:

My favorite albums by Com are The Dreamer, Be, LWFC, Finding Forever, and ODIAMS

:ld: and I used to bump UMC like crazy when it dropped

:lawd: Punch Drunk Love, Make My Day, Announcement, Gladiator, and Inhale all get burn to this day

breh i think finding forever is one of the most overrated albums of his discog. i can barely listen to that outside 4-5 songs.

Resurrection no question

LWFC, BE, One Day It Will All Make Sense, The Dreamer/The Believer were good/great albums in their own right

Can I Borrow a Dollar was not the greatest album but I think played Breaker 1/9 more than any other common song in his discography. i'm a sucker for the Between the Sheets sample

But when common feels experimental he gets too experimental - UMC and Electric Circus I hated when they both came out. I'll have to revisit electric circus it has been 9 years since i listened to that album. See if my opinion on that one still stands.

Center self, inner self
The lyricism on Resurrection was virtuosic. To me only illmatic and maybe a few others are parallel in lyrical excellence.
