I'm extremely disappointed. This album sounds so damn forced; it's like Common forgot all about himself, feeling like he had to 'save hip-hop' and come with a good album. It's creatively lacking if you ask me... Still an album that's very listenable and at times enjoyable, but never great, and never amazing. Common simply fails to live up to his potential here.He dropped new verses for So Far To Go, but they're nowhere near as enjoyable as the ones on Dilla's album. Overall, the album is extremely lacking the right vibe; something which is what made BE so great in the first place.4/5 : It was a potential classic, but it failed badly IMO. Still very enjoyable, but nothing really special.
just like be, you can listen to this one straight thru without skippin a track

This could be BE 2 , nothin really new , Kanye has laced the same type of beats since Late Registration, can't reinvent himself .. there is no wack tracks but nothing outstanding too.. hip hop audience seems to give a great review for material coming from MCs who are considering "real" hip hop whatever the quality of the album is ...
