Release Notes:

Here's the retail (mastered!) copy of the new Common album.

-
With fellow Chi-Towner Kanye West behind the boards, Common
returns with his sixth and perhaps best effort to date, Be.
Like a train ride through the ‘hood, the concise, 11-track
opus steamrolls through the images, stories, and emotions of
urban folks getting by any way they know how. Overflowing
with passion, honesty, and optimism, Be gets to the root of
human experience-all the while staying beautifully soulful
and funky.

Even though I haven't heard it yet, that would be somewhat disappointing to me...

Dunno if the rip-group is telling the truth, I haven't looked for it yet..
I thought Common said something about having some new tracks on there..  :-\

I believe the Remix for Corners would be on there and he would release a Chapelle's Show version of the Food.  Come on.

so what, i been bumping this for 2 months straight and that was long enough for me to decide and call it a 5 mic album. whether its out or not doesnt change anything, the music is still the same. so go out everybody and fucking buy it.

I thought it was officially supposed to drop today? However, international shipping's always a bit slow - they told me in the recordstore to pick it up on Friday. They'll also have a maaaaaad bonus dvd included with the album, containing studio footage, live material, a documentary and what not... That's crazy!

That's the main reason I was laughing at that comment.
Some people will call just about anything they like a classic.

ok ladies,
it's officially been released. you now have my blessing to call it whatever the fuck you want.
i think it's a great album too....probably common's best i've heard.

i do have a big problem with people calling bootlegs 'classic' though...if the album hasn't officially been released, there is still a chance that tracks are going to be scrapped so i think it's far too early in the 'officially released' stage to be considered a title that takes years to determine.

imo - there was once a bootleg that i thought for sure was going to yeild a 'classic' - it was bad azz - personal business. the bootleg was OFF THA HOOK. then it officially released and 6 of the dopest tracks were taken off and replaced with garbage ass tracks. no longer a classic.

a classic has to stand the test of time and has to officially be released to be considered a 'classic' in my mind. but, hey, it's your opinion so decide whatever the fuck you want. i just think you sound ignorant and juvenile when you are touting something as a classic and it still has a lot of room to be scrapped.

Im not actually sitting here and analayzing every rhyme and comparing it to Illmatic or Doggystyle after the first listen and decide whether its a classic or not. Im calling it a classic for todays music standard cause it's definitely the best album I bought since College Dropout. so you damn right, im calling it whatever the fuck I want.

Ya its a good ass DVD.... I like the making of "the corner" and the tight studio interviews with Sway

I wouldn't call it classic but it's a nice album overall. "One Day" is Common's best album and I don't think it's possible to top that masterpiece, but this album definitely knocks. This cd will be in my cd player for a while.
