He’s been droppin trash since Finding Forever but No I.D. might be one enough reason for me to cop this.
Its fully produced by Karriem Riggins though
What a loser
But No ID produced his last two albums, though.
The Dreamer and beliver was damn there a classic
Gotta love it jack
Yup. I’m swooping it
oh wow i wonder what the subject matter will be like…. will it be “white people are bad, black people let me tell you how to be” shit again?
Dear reKKKington,
GET OFF MY SITE!!!
Never yourz,
THE REAL HipHopDx Staff
drop an instrumental version
This is gonna be fire, Common never fails to deliver
Great rapper but the most boring and monotone voice in hiphop after Guru.
I really hope that someone who is not american and black can relate to this album! I really like common, his last album was ok, but finding forever was a lot better and relatable! No more john legend ballads! I want to be motivated and brought to my feet! Counting on you Common, dont let me down!
White Lives Don’t Matter
This dude is super wack. All that glory he’: giving Kanye and GOOD Music but dude ain’t even on his album ?
Common been off GOOD Music for a while now, bruh.
I swear common is still one of the best niggas to ever do it, every album he drop elevates from the next, this album is straight fire, just like the last one etc..
His last one was a snooze fest
Please name the songs you was snoozing too, or did you listen other people talk about it, but to each ya own, cause other niggas opinions don’t mean shit to me
Those last 2 albums were disappointing, especially that last one, but this here is the business.
I really liked both of the last two albums, especially The Dreamer / The Believer. Both were critically acclaimed as well. Haven’t heard this one yet, but I trust Common’s track record.
Liked the first half of The Dreamer/Believer, and I was actually thinking of Universal Mind Control that I didn’t like as much. However, “Nobody’s Smiling” I didn’t like at all. He sounded like he was experimenting too much with the material on that shit.
This album is Serious!!! Pyramids is phenomenal…
This Album is DOPENESS! compressed in a data storage format
