Common - Be

[dat MF]

8/10 very very nice album

[J-DON]

8.5... lol its a consistant album and its listenable the whole way through. I like all the tracks the same but none of them are 10s or really stand out so me so every track is an 8 or 9 therefore making the album an 8.5.

[Fragmented]

2/10 i'm being honest here this album got downloaded and deleted, same as late registration, waste of a hour,

[Decka]

I gave it 8/10 its a solid album in my opinion, and it has one of the best intros ever imo.

Peace

I Agree With Anyone Who Said It Is A Classic
I Simply Love It
The Intro Just Blew Me Away
It Should Have Gotten 5 Mics
Classic
Under Appreciated

[Alex36]

i liked it but got bored with it quite quick, 5

[makalani]

I give it a 7 there are a few classic songs but it is inconsistant and it bored me very fast.

[Jimmy Focus]

ths is a straight up classic

[Poetic Wun]

i think it's the best common album so far but not a classic it was too "love" infested, not that there's anything wrong with that but not on everysong, that's why "corners" "testify" & "Be" are my fav. tracks. i gave a 6.

[Sun Tzu, Tha Soul Controllah]

meh decent

[Wu-Tality]

never listen to it anymo 7/10

[Strange Fruit]

word.

he's had better... but it's a good album.

1. Be | 5/5
Incredible song to start off the album.

2. The Corner feat. The Last Poets | 4.5/5
At first this wasn't one of my favorite songs off the album. Thought it was way too simple, the beat, the flow and how TLP was used in the song.

3. Go! | 5/5
Another great Common song about women. He's good at making these grown man songs about women. Incredible beat by Kanye.

4. Faithful | 5/5
I caught chills the first time I heard the beat. The sample Kanye used is unbelivable. I really love Common's first verse about how we'd treated God if he was a she.

5. Testify | 4/5
Didn't feel the beat that much for a long time, but it's grown on me a lot. Love the storytelling by Common.

6. Love Is | 4/5
J. Dilla hooked Common up with a real laidback, summertime beat. Great beat, Common does his thing but not mindblowing.

7. Chi-City | 4/5
The only song of the album that's bit grimey. Dope.

8. The Food (Live) | 5/5
I've wanted a studio version of this song since I heard it on Dave Chappelle and thought it be included in the album but nope... Anyway, the live version is dope as fuck too.

9. Real People | 4/5
Jazzy beat and real cool. Nothing incredible at all but still dope.

10. They Say feat. Kanye West & John Legend | 3.5/5
Wish Kanye could've been replaced with a more interesting mc, Talib or Mos Def for example. Other than KW's verse this song is dope.

11. It's Your World (Part 1 & 2) | 4.5/5
Fell in love with this song immediately. Still love it.


I won't say whether it's a classic or not, because it's too early to tell. But I can definately see this album becoming an alltime classic. I know I loved it, even though at first I didn't think Kanye and Common would mix well. Guess I was wrong...

[Frank Drebin]

i really didnt like this album at all and the more i try and listen to it and enjoy it the worse it sounds to me. 1/5

[BRONZBODY]
