I know many that feel that way about this album. I for one feel that way. I bought the album anyway out of respect and plan to buy more to hand out peeps who "don't know, but front and don't ask." Common will not go plat by relying on "heads" where I'm from, because all the "heads" down here get down with radio stations and get free hand out copies or have gangs of bootleg tapes and what not.

This album was weird in that it didn't seem to have many strong single calibar songs. I mean, besides the Primo banger (which was mad pop if you ask me) everything else was almost very non pop/non radio playable. Either that or the other songs were just as good as the other and it was hard to pick. Personally, I think The Questions would be a dope summer single because Mos Def is on there and (unfortunately) is a bit trendy now and more recognizable now to the MTV suburban music buying audience and it has a nice feel to it. It's not necessarily the dopest song on the album (I wish Com had gotten Kweli on the album rather than Mos) but I think it would work nicely.

I wouldn't count the chickens too soon tho, I think the album sales will pick up. Kids need to make bigger noise about new albums coming out. Common needs a Hype Williams video. :P That was a joke, but then again, not really.

one love
