I'm sorry ta sorry but I liked Common betta when No I.D. & Dug Infinate waz producin trackz fo him. Da Rootz are tight but they can't alwayz bring da complex boom bap dat No I.D. & Dug uzually givez him. I'm not sayin he shouldn't do anymo songz wit da Rootz/Soulquarianz/JayDee but only a couple of songz not an entire album. LWFC waz very musical, great innovative hip hop but it doesn't alwayz mix when Common iz rhymin. For example; I azked many katz who have neva heard of Common until this album "how do you like da album, do you like hiz wordplay of hiz rhymez & do you understand what hez sayin"? They be like "naw I jus bought it cause of da music & da singin he got it on even thou he curses too much". So I tell 'em dat hiz second album iz even betta & I let 'em listen to da Ressurection album. Da onez who did take me up on da offer to listen to it said they didn't like. When I azked 'em why they said it had no singin in it & it waz to hard (in otha wordz too hip hop) fo dem. So what I'm tryin to say iz dat Common needz ta go back to hiz homeboyz & do an album fo da hip hop headz (no disrespect to Ahmir even thou I dont really care). Anyway jus remember dis, itz either my direction or hit da phunkin matrix connectionz.....DAMMIT!!!!!

Peace & Chicken Grease!
