>Simple...Where is Common on your all time list? > >You know what's next....the Questions > >1. Is Common in the top 10 all time? Maybe not, but close....12? >2. Is Nas and Common more of a comparison because they are >poetic MC's? Maybe in terms of lyrical subject matter, but Nas is a far better rapper and more interesting artist. >3. Does Common have a classic LP? No great, but Classic. How >many? Maybe LWFC. I also think The Dreamer, the Believer is great. >4. Is his career done now to you? Nah, although I think he's due for another shitty album ala Universal Mind Control >5. Random Common comment...
I like him a lot, people say he's cheesy and predictable, but I think he makes good, nonstupid hip hop songs. As a old(er) hip hop head, I'm super burnt on shitty mainstream thugged out moron rap. Common offers a solid quality alternative. > >Studio albums > > Can I Borrow a Dollar? (1992) > Resurrection (1994) > One Day It'll All Make Sense (1997) > Like Water for Chocolate (2000) > Electric Circus (2002) > Be (2005) > Finding Forever (2007) > Universal Mind Control (2008) > The Dreamer/The Believer (2011) > >Collaborative albums > > Cruel Summer (with GOOD Music) (2012) > >PEACE
