just letting you know it's gonna be jarring going from his debut album to Ressurection just cause he switched his entire flow (but in a good way)

If you ain't put off by his "poet" flow, you'll appreciate most of his discography.

Electric Circus is the only "dud" and that's mostly it sounded musically all over the place.

I’ve heard some of the stuff before, so I’m aware that he has a signature flow. Thanks for the heads up regardless.

He has one of the craziest production lineups of all time

Entire albums by dilla, Kanye, the Neptunes, no ID

I’m not from Chi city but I’m Common on the corner

he has a few great records

Common in my top 10, but 1997 - 2011?

Discography up there with Outkast Ye Hov etc

Pretty much this

although I would say UMC is his only real dud

Don't fall asleep at the wheel

Finding Forever one of the most underrated hip-hop albums of all time

While it was interesting to hear Common in a completely different pocket with bombastic sounds, ultimately the album is held back by ridiculous and corny lyrics and a cadence that has no particular character to it. The production is good, but not great. Almost sounds like a diet Tribe Called Quest at times. An inexperienced Common and No I.D, makes for an interesting listen, but not a particularly great listen. Will probably never listen to this album again. And none of the songs on here were added to my car playlist.

Also gotta add that ending the album with Common taking a piss did NOT leave a good lasting impression on me

Final Score: 5.5/10

Favorite Songs: Heidi Hoe, Breaker 1/9

Least Favorite Songs: No Defense

never listened to much besides be but gl @op because that album is a masterpiece

how do you like dashing?

Following OP's lead and doing the same thing on this snowy Sunday afternoon

That Neptune album was his worst by far

It Be like that sometimes

that nigga play for the Nets

In

i love threads like this, i'll be keeping up

Cool thread I'll follow it

cant wait to see your reaction to Like water for chocolate

One of the GOATs

BE is his best album and a classic. The way the guitar comes in on the intro … ye spazzed on the production for the whole album
