I have listened to the whole album now and it's really good. There are only two track that aren't really doing it for me. I'll have more to say about it once I gathered my thoughts.
itnerested in hearing this based on the reception, the guestlist is sick, love that syd is cropping up so much these days
When exactly was Common down? I did not like the production on "Nobody's Smiling" because it wasn't what I'm looking for in a Common album, but it certainly wasn't bad, and The Dreamer/The Believer was great. I think the only Commons albums that aren't all that good are "Universal Mind Control", because it was kind of lackluster, and "Can I Borrow a Dollar?", because at that point he was just an also-ran backpack rapper that hadn't find his voice yet. I'm not attacking you, I'm just wondering, because I have been hearing this more often lately.
I remember certain old heads (which really can also be a young person) on some forum I frequented being in complete denial about UMC. I distinctively remember the phrase "a fun start breakdancing in the middle of the street record", haha.
