That's why I was careful to say that it's "not my cup of tea" rather than "it's terrible !" or something like that. Cause it's not terrible. Common has always made high quality "love" music. And I've enjoyed a good chunk of it. I just don't typically enjoy full albums of that kind of music, personally. At least not from rappers.
