common is like joe johnson he was really good but he was never like THAT dude and didn’t really get on that big stage until he linked with some GOATs but hardcore fans appreciate him
Because there’s an agenda to erase the conscious and positive aspects of hip hop
He just exists tbh. Nothing special
His album catalog is top 3 in hip hop
It’s Kanye, Outkast and Common for best album runs
My guess would be because he was never really mainstream and people boxed him in as "conscience" rapper when he had a lot of depth and versatility with his music. I have him in my top 3.

Tbh about 10 years ago Common was often mentioned amongst the all time greats
his legacy has faded a bit over time

I actually had a customer who had Go! As their ringtone just the other day
The people still know

This!
Part of this is because he went into acting.
If I had to guess I’d say maybe it’s cuz he never really had mainstream appeal like that. He’s been more of an underground legend if you even would like to call him that. Def more respected by Hip Hop heads is basically what I’m getting at
It sucks cause he is one of the greatest of all time
Be s***s on 99% of other rappers albums though
It’s pure magic all the way thru
Like water to chocolate*
It bothers me when the gods get to acting like the broads
what the f*** some of yall still bringing up that little ass moment for? s*** has nothing to do with the thread. S*** was ages ago..
stop obsessing over this nigga drake on this site.

Underrated
The ambition and scope of that album for its time is insane. Anyone who praises TPAB and not that album is asleep
