41. "So You Think Common Lost His Direction?" In response to In response to 34
I do think Common hasn't been rhyming about the same things since "Be" ("Finding Forever" was proof of that) but it seems like ever since his acting career jumped off he's been declining in the lyrical department subject wise.
If somebody like Mr.15 basically makes Common sit back and just focus on writing while they choose the music and what songs make the album and sequence of the songs then he can make another dope album that will have more feeling than the last couple of albums.
"Dreamer/Believer" was good but kind of boring as far as each song having any point to make, it was just him rhyming over good beats; and even though I still love "Electric Circus" he's not in love anymore and I can say we don't need another love album from him either, personally I want more of lyrical "One Day It'll All Make Sense" Common but with the "Like Water For Chocolate" production.
