and it sucked b/c try as he might, Common (and his ppl) just isn't good at making that type of music. it didn't sound good.

maybe that's Nas's problem. maybe he's 'limited' as an artist. he might be better off staying in 1 or 2 lanes. of course, the only way for him and his audience to find out was for him to take chances. so kudos to him for that.

same w/Common. kudos for going there on Electric Circus. it was a worthy effort that ultimately failed, IMO.
