-
Damn I'm outta the loop, didn't even know Common had a new album coming out. Nice, three new albums for me today.
-
i cant stand common he acts like hes more "real" than other mtv/bet rappers but he still makes corny bullshit
-
I'll trade u. A prop for a pm. how does that sound?
-
He better not be on that autotune bullshit. ;D
-
How is this?? im not to sure about this one??
-

-
10 joints thats IT!!?? LOL

ya, damn, this short
no complaints if its all quality though

On the making of the album, Common said "I created this music for the summer time, it's about feeling good... this is the type of music I felt was missing from my body of work."[2] Billboard magazine have described the sound as "electro-tinged" and "techno-inspired.".[2]
:-\
-
^oh god
whatever, just 10 songs
gonna bump now..

Why's everyone expecting trash?
with the exception of his debut, common hasnt dropped a bad album imo
i dont see him stopping now

This cd is on some feel good music shit. I actually like how it flows. I was pissed at first only 10 tracks but it is a pretty good cd. I am suprised he is dropping it now since it really does have that summer time feel to it.
-
its defiantly not what i expected from common but theres a few good tracks like inhale
-
I liked that song which first leaked, so I don't know. Will check it out.
-

Word! This album will be dope, don't be curious about that.
-
So far on the 5th track and that first track is the only one I don't like. That track with Kanye was great, autotune actually fits the song. Good stuff!

-
i would like to hear.
-

Don't worry, it's just on the beat. It's not like there is verses with that crappy T-Pain kinda stuff, this sounds good, trust me.

people got me misconstrued like i don't respect personal opinions ???
-

Are you serious?????
He's more real BECAUSE he doesn't have to talk about the same bullshit that EVERY other artist talks about, he's more artsy in his rhymes...
-
i like it 8) something different
-

i dont see him stopping now
Electric Boogaloo Circus sucked.... and yeah, Can I Barrow A Dollar sucked too, I still have that CD.....
-
i wanna check this out someone hook me up! Announcement was my jam when that shit leaked!
-
LIIIINNKKK
-
what are you guys talkin about, this album is good. Besides "Sex for sugar" this is a solid album and i dont think that it sounds that much different than his other stuff. This is Finding Forever with a Neptunes twist.
-
its aight
not a fan of The Neptunes tho :-\
-
A perfect EAC/LAME rip is out.
I'll give it a good spin tomorrow. Apart from this lead single, Common has always brought us heat 8)

ya sex for sugar was wack
-
dont know y everyone is doubting common...hes proved he shuld not be doubted...albums good besides sex for sugar
-
10 joints thats IT!!?? LOL
Illmatic only had 10 joints & thats the best CD of all time lol.
this....NOT, NOT Illmatic lol.
-
i think sex 4 sugar isnt too bad, kinda catchy
punch drunk love is real smooth
-
i think sex 4 sugar isnt too bad, kinda catchy
punch drunk love is real smooth
werd i lik kanye on tht track...everywhere n gladiator are best songs
-

i was just on sex 4 sugar when posting that
just finished the album, i have to say i really really enjoyed it, its something def different, not kanye autotune bullshit, the fundamentals of hip hop are still in it but the production is on some futuristic shit
the album is worth checkin 4 "What a world" alone, funkyest shit iv heard in ages
-
someone hook a brother up
-
Im diggin' this. Probably cause im a big Neptunes fan.
Although Common could've come a lot better on this.
-
i cant stand common he acts like hes more "real" than other mtv/bet rappers but he still makes corny bullshit
Common - bullshit ? BE = Classic , Finding Forever was Dope too .. Like Water For Chocolate = Classic
-
First of all, I can't understand how can somebody hate on Common???
Great album, I thought that track with Cee-Lo will be the best. Gladiator is a huge song, same with Changes and other tracks.
-
can i get a link please?
-

dope album, I loved it on first listen, Gladiator is my favorite track...it's different, like new Kanye, but that doesn't automatically mean it's wack

That's jacked from a rip someone posted on boxden :P
-
can someone hook me up with a good quality link, i downloaded one of albumhunt and the quality is fucking shite!
thanks 8)
-
I haven't checked the whole album yet but just from a stricly production point; Gladiator the most grimey Neptunes beat since Drop It Like It's Hot ?
-
Wasnt wat I expected at all, koo album, I kept a majority of the tracks. 'Gladiator' was prolly my fav. track on the album.
-
Grouprip is out (CMS)
i only skimmed it, but I like slightly more than half of it. can someone up the original punch drunk love (with pharell instead of kanye)?
edit: wtf, no pops rap? weak.
-
'Gladiator' was prolly my fav. track on the album.
-
make my day
announcement
changes
inhale
everywhere
are my favorites.
Another great album from Common. The most consistent rapper in the game
-
Not feeling the vibe here. Common isn't suited for this typa ish....

Nah Scarface was more consistent dude
This was ok not great
-
unbelievable, rappers selling out left and right, what the fuck! :laugh:
I mean there's selling out and then there's a fuckin SOLD OUT sticker on your forehead
god damn that single he has is like nails on a chalkboard
-
First of all, I can't understand how can somebody hate on Common???
they hated jesus as well, the world is cooolldd chill
not comparing jesus to common to all those who get there virgin panties tied in a knot over dumb shit
-
Naaaaaaaaaaah, listen to content of the songs... Get the vibe... Get the vibe yet? It's the same shit y'all hate on these mainstream rappers for. And just cuz a respectable Emcee is doing it, he doesn't get a pass on this shit... Whack.
-

coms always had a couple love songs on his albums though
the only difference is the beats are more electronic this time around
plus announcement, gladiator, changes, inhale, what a world, and everywhere = normal common subject matter (not about girls/partying)
-
:-\ I don't know about this shit. Only liked 4 songs and its way too short. I gotta agree with Leak. Some of you cats on here will let artists get away with anything. If JayZ and Pharrell did announcement everyone would be talking about how he cant get off Bigs dick but Common does it and its alright.
-
idk about it either, but not because of the subject matter
the beats just arent up to par imo. definitely his second worst album
but inhale and the title track = :o
-
Not feeling the vibe here. Common isn't suited for this typa ish....
Word.
Deleted the whole album.. didn't expect to say that about a Common album. :-\
-
Ok I take that back, you're right the lyrics aren't that bad. But it's just the style he has, and the beats he chose..
But you know what, he did this kinda "fun" album cuz he wanted to, and he's already said he has a more serious full album with some regular Common-style coming soon, so it's whatever..
-
This album is meh. Some nice joints but it really doesn't fit Common. I can aprreciate that he tried something different, Finding Forever was like Be part 2 but it's just not the direction I want to hear from him.
-
i like the album... a couple of tracks i don't care for... but it's cool... cee-lo track is nice.... why don't more dudes work with cee-lo.... i luve his gnarls barkly shit.... as for common last album, smooth, but that shit always made me sleepy... lol i ruined the album for my homie, was a big fan of common, until i told him that it was too mellow.... lol
-
3.5/5 album
-

resurrection = classic
can I borrow a dolla? = decent
one day it'll all make sense = very dope
like water for chocolate = near classic
electric circus = average
be = near classic
finding forever = average
universal mind control = average
imo
-
im diggin it, this isnt much of a change from be or finding forever, common has always had the soft/love songs, so i don't mind it. rap needs a feel good album every few months, can only listen to people rapping about killing each other for so long before it gets old
probably a 4/5 album, maybe 4.25
