I recently tuned into Kanye, John Legend, Common, and Kweli on AOL music, pre-grammy type shit...The Video is dope, for ya'll that haven't checked it out, you should...but what I've been thinking about is when common came out to do his new single Corners he said "I'm back muthafucka's...." hmmm, I started thinking to myself, why is one of the most respected MC of our time yellin' that, like he's been gone for a minute, or has been outta the loop...Do you feel Common may believe after he released Electric Circus he lost some of his hardcore fan base, his RESURRECTION Fanbase, the cats that grew up with the common that appealed more to the streets than to experimental hip hop...? I myself enjoyed electric circus, and thought it was a bold move that needed to be made in hip hop, but i do feel it def lacked what 'CORNERS' is providing, takin' it back to the street corner, where he did not take it on Electric...I'm just tryin to get in depth with what ya'll think the new album is gonna be like...cause I know I missed the street appeal that was always present on every album cept' for E.C...and I really felt like he wanted to let cats know that he's back to what he perfected on his previous albums...street poetry, that he didn't forget about he can verbally kill most MC's these days...is this album a rebirth?


or am I fucking crazy?
