Finding Forever should be in classic conversation...
Good album terrible cover
Be and water for chocolate
However, Univeral Mind Control is pure trash

I think the quality of the album the art kinda undersells it
lets go, I did the same thing when I went thru his discography in a short period of time. ngl it was tedious but damn his discog really is massive so thats kinda given
make sure you update title with each new album you heard

Thats why i'm only doing one a day. So I can take a day to really process what im listening to.

Forreal lmao the hate that Electric Circus receives should he reserved only for Universal Mind Control
Also don't listen to what people say about Electric Circus. Go into it with an open mind. The most I will say is that it has aged wonderfully.
Electric Circus one of his best albums imo
Ahead of its time
I think it’s looked at in a more positive light now. Somebody that was unfamiliar with the history behind that album would probably go into it with a more open mind bc rap caught up to the ideas Common was experimenting with back then
I was watching one his interviews with bruh from Fake Shore Drive and he mentioned how Outkast dropped Speakerboxx/Love Below not too long after that. Look at the praise they got lol and there are parts of it that are similar to some of the sounds on Stankonia
Everything after Nobody's Smiling didn't really hit for me.
Don't get the Electric Circus and Universal Mind Control hate. Niggas don't f*** with J DILLA and Pharrell production?!
His discography is criminally underrated.

When you finish listening to his full discog he goin be in your top 10
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.
Electric Circus still has some great songs. Come Close is one of his best singles imo.
UMC is the real miss to me
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
Today I’m going out DoorDashing and listening to his second album
I’ll give you guys a short review when I’m done.
