COMMON

[mickill]

I'm glad he's gone back to basics.



Common gets classic rating in XXL. After months of anticipation, Common's 6th album, "Be" has just been handed a classic "XXL" rating in XXL magazine. The LP features Com returning to Resurrection form over hard-knocking drums and soulful samples with Kanye West handling 9 tracks and Jay Dilla contributing 2 more. Kanyezee is the album's only guest emcee while John Legend and Bilal provide vocals on several tracks. In its review XXL's scribe writes, "[Common] birthed '05's top LP. For those who requested the raw from an MC accused of having gone soft, 'Be' provides enough dope to OD on. Common has created a flawless album. He's birthed the total package. Common has raised the bar."

the corners is a dope track

supposedly there is gonna be a video for the track "BE" before the album drops - can't wait

[ASsman]

Mmm, that was a tasty video. Tell you what.

[HEIRESS]

[ET]

Shit better be good. He was getting boring.

[HEIRESS]

[ET]

[HEIRESS]

[HEIRESS]

[ET]

I've read worse stuff. ...

So yeah, Common is black, I hear.

[J-Syxx]

He should've went for total Jay-Dee production. That guy has been on fucking fire for a while now.

[The Notorious LOL]

i'll believe it when I hear it.

Common has been type faggot since he dropped the Sense from his name.

[DandyFop]

THE NOTORIOUS LOL WOULDN'T KNOW MUSIC FROM HIS ASS HOLE AND HE DOESN'T EVEN SEE ASSHOLES, LIKE ON A REGULAR BASIS OR SOMETHING, OR SOMETIMES WITH WAFFLES.

Yes, you took the words right out of my mouth. Especially the part that made the least amount of sense.

[Gareth]

Shit better be good. He was getting boring.

yep

[Deep_Sea_Rain]

Celebrity status make us think he got celery...

[J-Syxx]

Common has been type faggot since he dropped the Sense from his name.
He had no choice, you cum-stain.

[mickill]

I don't think that he implied that that was why he got all faggot on us.

[DandyFop]

Yes, you took the words right out of my mouth. Especially the part that made the least amount of sense.

well screw me in the pelican briefs!

[p-branez]

that last lp he had was terrible - boring as hell.

i saw a video for the single. it was alright.

[g-mile7]

[tdot04]

thats cool.

Kanye might of saved this dudes career?

(y)

Kanye did him a HUGE favour, that's right! The Corner is nice track, can't wait to hear the rest of the album. Probably many more Kanye beats where that came from.

May 24th y'all. (y)

[alruggs]

If it smells like vinyl and sounds like vinyl it's probably vinyl.

wanna be as free as the spirits of those who left
I’m talking, Malcolm, Coltrane, my man Yusef
Through death grew conception, new breath and resurrection
For Moms, new steps in the direction, in the right way
Told inside is where the fight lay
And everything a nigga do may not be what he might say
Chicago nights they, stay on the mind
But I write many lives, they lay on these lines
Waving signs of the times many say the grind’s on the mind
Shorties blunted out and everyone wanna rhyme
Bush pushin’ lies, killas immortalized
We got arms but won’t reach for the skies
Waitin’ for the lord to rise I look into my daughter’s eyes
And realize I’ma learn through her
The messiah, might even return through her
If I’ma do it, I gotta change the world through her
Furs and a Benz Gramps wantin’ em
Demons and old friends Pops they huntin’ em
The chosen one from the land of the frozen sun
Where drunk nights get remembered more than sober ones
Walk like warriors we were never told to run
Explored the world to return to where my soul begun
Never lookin’ back or too far in front of me
The present is a gift and I just wanna BE

Kanye came tight with this...hopefully this hush some the haters on his skills as a producer up (keyword:skills not his ego which is justified)

[Extra Cheese]

do you have a link to corners? i still havent heard it

[g-mile7]

naw sorry sum1 might have it though

[The Notorious LOL]

He had no choice, you cum-stain.

just happened to turn weak at that time, the loss of "sense" in his name didnt make him a shitty boring mc, his latter albums did.

[Gareth]

i just heard 'go'

its real nice

[The Notorious LOL]

I got the whole album, homos.


aaaand so far it sucks!

[Rip Round'n Roc]

yeah that new album does kinda suck, its too soft

electric circus had more of an edge
