3028081, I hesitate to call any of them bad.

At the risk of stating the obvious lol. Cuz I'm a huge Common fan.

But as someone mentioned above, it's moreso that his most recent work (save Black America Again) is just UBER bland. The production is uninspiring, his lyrics and flow aren't as sharp (save some moments here and there), etc. It's more "uninteresting" than it is bad.

CIBAD - fine
Resurrection - classic
ODIAMS - classic
LWFC - classic
Electric Circus - really good
Be - borderline classic
Finding Forever - fine
UMC - BAD
TD/TB - pretty damn good
Nobody's Smiling - boring, but fine
Black America Again - really really good
Let Love - boring, but fine
