Kind of awkward at first knowing he was performing in front of such a small group but it got easier to watch cause the musicianship was amazing.

This dude can still write rhymes man. His flow is still off at times in his late-career but his rhymes are really, really good. I like the 3 new tracks here. Better than the first two that were released recently in terms of flow.

That song about Pops was chill-inducing. Such deep, dope shit. I can't wait to hear the studio version. That type of song is the reason I fell in love with Common's music in the first place. I don't think there's anyone who does introspection better in hip-hop over the years.
