I know when BE came out it was crowned as such but I'm bumping LWFC right now and :ohlawd:

I think Com's discography is pretty deep but what album do you think is his BEST?

One Day It'll All Make Sense

^^^It's hardly ever mentioned, but contains some of Common's best work. It's a great mixture of raw Hip Hop and nice concepts. Even the more commercial sounding songs are among his best attempts ("All Night Long" and "Reminding Me Of Sef"). In my opinion, this album and Like Water for Chocolate are Common at his most versatile and the execution was on point.

Listening to Resurrection for my first time now...coming back to this thread...

Finished. It's fire but it doesn't have the same first listen impact as a ODIAMS or LWFC had on me but this probably his lyrically wittiest one. The production is his grittiest/darkest. Maybe it'll improve in my rankings.

BTW does anybody have a link to Electric Circus? I'm tryna finish Common Da Gawd's catalog.

For me it's Resurrection or BE.


Electric Circus ain't as bad as it's made out to be either, still his 2nd worst though, Common has a nice discog. :yes: If you ain't heard the album since it came out or something, give it another go.

UMC is AWFUL, though.
