"Looking back at Common's "BE": Did it hold up?"


  

          

Looking back at Common's "BE": Did it hold up? I loved the LP when it dropped. I still like it alot now. With all of the hype gone and years to look back, what are your 2012 thoughts of "BE"

1. Is it a great LP or classic?
2. Where does it rank among Common LP's
3. ...general statement

Peace
