Title: Kanye's "Late Registration" or Common's "Be" ??
Post by: Jome on August 29, 2005, 03:59:19 PM: So, which is it ?
The albums have the same feel to it, due to all the samples, and with Kanye West doing 95% of both albums, save a few cuts.
I dunno yet, I feel that the production on LR was better, because BE was too minimalistic and became a lil boring, but then again Common got better rhymes than Kanye.

Post by: M Dogg™ on August 29, 2005, 04:13:03 PM: haven't heard Late Registration yet, so right now BE. I like that CD, and it's a cool CD to just relax and chill to.

Post by: Suga Foot on August 29, 2005, 04:20:42 PM: I think right now it's BE. LR hasn't really sunk in yet. Right now it's not all that good to me. But it took a while for BE to really sink in.

Post by: West Coast Veteran on August 29, 2005, 04:29:12 PM: Late Registration. The production is too crisp and polished. Kanye obviously isn't a great MC like Common but Late Registration overall is a better album.

Both great albums though.

Post by: 7even on August 29, 2005, 04:47:03 PM: well, mc-wise, common shits all over kanye. the production of kanye is innovative and good/commerical/appealing at the same time.. so yea.. as I rather go with lyrics/raps, I like common's album more, but I can easily understand why certain ppl like kanye's more.

Title: Re: Kanye's "Late Registration" or Common's "Be" ??
Post by: Lil Jay on August 30, 2005, 01:05:54 PM: As far as MC skills go, Be no question. And as far as production goes, I say Be also. Both albums have the same feel to it, but for some reason are Kanye's beats better on Be than LR imo. The production on LR is top notch though, but the beats on Be appeal more to me than LR.
So overal its definitely Be, but I guess its too early to judge.

Post by: ac1386 on August 30, 2005, 03:54:16 PM: i know im gonna catch alotta flack for this but i say late registration because i cant listen to common very much. i think hes a great lyracist and i respect him and all that shit but his flow just sounds boring and redundant to me. Kanye isnt a great emcee but he puts alotta work into his lyrics, theyre clever and hes more interesting to me

Post by: ωεεźγ ғ on August 31, 2005, 12:14:16 AM: even though i like Late Reg. ya as far as mc skills Be kills Kanye but Kanye comes up with fresh new shit that seems to work alota times
Title: Re: Kanye's "Late Registration" or Common's "Be" ??
Post by: Conan on August 31, 2005, 02:08:25 AM: ''Be'' hands down. Although I am a little biased since I'm a bigger fan of Common than Kanye. Kanye's still nice though.
Title: Re: Kanye's "Late Registration" or Common's "Be" ??
Post by: Lord Funk on August 31, 2005, 10:55:15 AM: Late Registration. Beats and lyrics aside, just the production and mixing alone is some of the best I've ever heard on a hip-hop record.

Post by: Jome on August 31, 2005, 01:13:42 PM: Late Registration    - 11 (36.7%)
Be    - 13 (43.3%)
Equally good    - 3 (10%)
Equally boring    - 3 (10%)

Damn, this poll is closer than I thought it would be, it's almost a dead race.

I feel the exact same way homie
Title: Re: Kanye's "Late Registration" or Common's "Be" ??
Post by: Elevz on September 05, 2005, 05:09:57 AM: Be for me... Production wise both albums are pretty much equal to me, but it's Common's emceeing skills that make Be so much more interesting to listen to. Neither is classic, still both great albums.
Title: Re: Kanye's "Late Registration" or Common's "Be" ??
Post by: CrazYthug2006 on September 05, 2005, 03:28:40 PM: Both albums are dope but I gotta go with Common on this one, he comes correct lyrically and his album has no fillers - short and sweet. Kanye is pretty tight too, his production feels a lot more polished but I feel the album woulda done better with fewer tracks. Then again I was never exactly a big kanye fan...my .02 Pz......
Title: Re: Kanye's "Late Registration" or Common's "Be" ??
Post by: M Dogg™ on September 06, 2005, 06:55:18 PM: After hearing both back to back, I have to say BE. I think it was a better all around album. Late Registration was good, I like the change of pace for Kanye, but Common over normal Kanye beats is WAY better than Kanye trying to do something like Late Registration. No knock on his new CD, I liked it, and play it, but Common over Kanye is better than Kanye over Kanye trying not to be Kanye. Common and Kanye, if they work together more could be Guru and Premo, Snoop and Dre, Rakim and Eric B, CL Smooth and Pete Rock, Kurupt and Daz. Kanye by himself is good, but Common over Kanye is better, and BE vs. Late Registration shows that.

Be for me... Production wise both albums are pretty much equal to me, but it's Common's emceeing skills that make Be so much more interesting to listen to. Neither is classic, still both great albums.

And that was two months and a half ago... I haven't listened to LR in a long time, it got old really quick for me. Be is still in regular rotation. Need I say more?

no doubt.....common's rhymes and story telling is crazy sick

Post by: coola on November 21, 2005, 05:47:30 AM: i really dont see how people are saying "be" is better... i just cant see it... is everyone on this forum just trying to be different and not go for the more main-stream album ?

Title: Re: Kanye's "Late Registration" or Common's "Be" ??
Post by: Eihtball on February 08, 2006, 06:35:56 PM: Hmmm, tough choice...both albums have Kanye's beats (and he did an incredible job on both), but with "Be", I'm feeling Common's lyrics more even though I was actually a bit dissappointed by the album overall (it seemed like he was a bit less adventurous lyrically). "Late Registration", I'll grant you that Kanye ain't ever gonna be on Common's level as an MC, but he was far bolder (maybe a bit brazen, I dunno) and I found "Late Registration" more interesting to listen to.

Overall, I'd have to say "Be" just because it's so much more solid, but I'll admit I haven't been bumpin it nearly as much as I've been bumpin "Late Registration".
