What do you think, or know? I know when it leaked he was saying that wasn't all the songs, but when it came out in stores it was the same shit. I think he was just trying to downplay the short record talk until it came out in stores so it wouldn't hurt his first week sales as much.
-
well, it was short in comparison to todays standards, but back in the day, most albums only had like 8 tracks on them..
at least they're all pretty much quality tracks. which, is more than i can say for more than 80% of the albums out there with more than 11 tracks

Yup - my thoughts exactly.
The irony is that the record is so dope because it's so short. 45 minutes of top quality music... the whole thing would have been watered down if they added another seven tracks just to pad it out.
Today was actually the first time I listened to the album all the way through (twice) since buying it... got to say it's excellent. The 'classic' talk is just silly but you can't deny it's 4 or 4.5 out of 5. Amazing stuff.

It was quality over quantity like ever dope album is
-
you say it was short, i say it was perfect
-
whatīs the album that most people consider the best hiphop record ever? How long is it?

I agree totally. I was just wondering why he said it would be longer. If you start putting filler in an album, some people will sleep on it. All killer is what Common did here, and it was a good choice.
-
the common album was dope. the shortness though does leave you wanting for more, which is what any mc should do. come to think of it the songs are what make me want more. i love this cd because its not just the same shit that is out and any cd no matter how long or short it is that doesnt reflect how good it will be. im just going on and on about nothing right now cause im high as fuck but like white boy said, you say its short i say its perfect.
-
I mean short as in what most people think an album should be, length wise. Most of my favorite albums are short. Creeping on ah come up, Westcoasanostra, technically 'Be' could be considered an EP too because it is under 40 minutes. Anyways seeing as we all agree on this point, back to the original purpose of my thread. Why do you think he said there would be more tracks in interviews?
-
i think mad people would sleep cause a majority of people dont wanna pay for a full priced cd for 11 tracks.
-
Yeah they dont think it's worth it or whatever, thats why I try before I buy. If i like the album I'll buy it regardless of the price.
-
I thought there was gonna be a remix of The Corner or something else on it. What happened to that?
-
Putting the live version of the food on the album was nice. the studio version didn't have enough energy to it as the one he did on chappelles show did.
-
^I'd want both, which is why I got both^
and I say 11 quality track album >>>>>>22 track album with 18 tracks of filler and bullshit(50 cent)
-
ALL KILLER, NO FILLER!

I concur :)

well of course it can be good to release a shorter album and havin all bangin joints on there but i have much more respect for some one can put out a long classic album(The Chronic 2001 for example). i havenīt heard this Common album coz iīm gonna buy it but i just havenīt gotten around to do so yet :P

Not everyone thinks all 22 tracks on 2001 are classic. That's the point; it's kinda impossible releasing an album with 22 tracks that everyone will find amazing.
-
^well i do think that every single joint on there is bangin and most of the people i know thinks the same.
-
^ you have somewhat of a point, but did u forget about the pointless skits... but track wise i do find every music track, which is like what 16/17 amazing or at least good...
-
I think the album is dope but overrated. Hiphopsite.com for example gives it 5 @'s. But there is nothing really new on that album. There is way too much religious talk on there. John Legend's voice annoys me and should have been left out.
However the overall feeling of the album is nice. You can play it without skipping. There are no fillers on there. Some productions are even extremely good: intro, go and chi city for example.
Although in my opinion a classic should bring something completely refreshing: lyrically, conceptwise or productionwise.
While the beats are standard Kanye, the concept is Illmatic and the lyrics are standard Common, this album can't be considered classic.

Exactly

hell yeah all the ppl in this thread know what good music is... i thought when i got it was gonna be one of those albums that "i like alot but nobody feels the same"..... and even though its hasent been that long since its been released imo its a classic...
-
damn i just peeped the album for the first time... and its pretty damn hot... only gone through 1 and a half spins, already feelin it... top production by kanye, and common's on point as always.
-
the chappelle version of the food sounds like shitty shit
the 12" studio version is way better vibe wise
try cruisin and listenin to it
makes me happy
I had to burn a new version of the album with studio version
he shoulda had chappelle version as a bonus cut
fuck that faggot common
