Rashid even said so . . .but not because he's wack, because he's evolved. The NEW album sounds so different and is so on some other shit . . .completely NOT like any of the other albums. As long as you have regard for Common as a dope lyricist, I think the rest will come together. It's music y'all damn! Not some formula y'all think he needs to adhere to. Because music evolving requires other sounds you haven't heard before, it may very well have to come from different corners of the world, not necessarily Chicago or any where else. Stop trippin'. Love you Common!<BR>Tiny
