3017328, Did you like Nobody’s Smiling?

Cuz that had a different vibe even down to the guests

You take the 2-4 weak songs off NS and it’s solid as
hell.

Even then, most com albums have a few skippers.

I feel like folks slept on or even unfairly shitted on
that album.

I don’t disagree, I do think people are too hard on
Common, Yasiin, etc though.

Like are the people who want com to switch it up ok
with the stuff he tried on NS?

Do the people who think Com should hang it up also
criticize Yasiin for hanging it up?

Etc

I think *sometimes* our favorites can’t win regardless.

Sure, but even that song had that corny hero/sandwhich
line. And that track sounds like it would fit on NS.

As far as the track in the OP, I agree it’s forgettable
though.
