>Can I Borrow a Dollar? (1992) Fine for the time, even if he sounds like he's 14 on it.
>Resurrection (1994)
Great.
>One Day It'll All Make Sense (1997)
Great.
>Like Water for Chocolate (2000)
Great.
>Electric Circus (2002)
Very good.
>Be (2005
Great.
>Finding Forever (2007)
Liked the beats. Did not like Common's performance.
>Universal Mind Control (2008)
Really didn't like this. And it was mostly because of Common's performance again.
>The Dreamer/The Believer (2011)
Great.
>Nobody's Smiling (2014)
Very good.
>Black America Again (2016)
Wasn't feeling this as much as many. Heart was in the right place though.
>Let Love (2019)
Yeah, really not feeling this one. And again, it's again on Common. Lyrically, he doesn't sound like he's really engaged at all. I understand, because he's full into his acting career. Good intentions and enlightened subject matter don't translate into good music if the execution is off.
>August Greene (with Robert Glasper and Karriem Riggins) >(2018)
Honestly haven't heard this.
But, he has far more good to great albums than bad ones. And his great albums earn him a lot of lee-way. His output isn't what it used to be, but I'm find with chalking that up to the normal shit that MCs go through when they've been recording and releasing music for close to 30 years. And, morever, get into acting.
