3017328, Did you like Nobody’s Smiling? Posted by Stadiq, Fri Jun-28-19 06:14 PM
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.
It was fresh back in like 2005 when he first started going >this route w/songs like "It's Your World" etc. Now it's just >tired as fuck for the most part, super redundant even though >the subject matter changes from time to time. Doesn't move the >needle at all.
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. > >Give me more "Pyramids" type stuff.
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.
