Seriously, how has this just blown by me for so long?
One of the best lyrics in all of hip hop history right there
>>60316901
Exactly, there is no lyrical filler here. Also, best Kanye production outside Late Registration. Of course J mother fucking Dilla killing it.
>>60316948
I wonder why people give Kanye so much shit. He's a pretty solid producer and not a bad rapper in my opinion...
>>60317185
He's just a bit too vocal and obnoxious in public; which definitely has a polarizing effect on peoples' opinion of him and his music.
>>60317337
I thought it was because he's universally praised for making music that could be interpreted as being low brow (also see: Weezer)
underrated as fuck imo
still like Finding Forever a little more
>>60317185
he's terrible at both now if you've heard the verses and productions he's released since yeezus.
no idea what happened, i had no idea it was possible to fall off so hard.

Good fucking lord OP, how old are you, 17? This is one of the top hip hop albums of the 00s. If you liked Ye's production on this, check out this little indie gem called The Blueprint.
>>60318245
All the beats he's worked on for Pusha T are very very good.
>tfw Common is pussy magnet
Like, for real. It's almost not fair.
>>60318934
i question how much he was really involved in them though
but yeah numbers on the board and lunch money are great
>>60318766
I know what The Blueprint is old man. I'm 20 which means I was 10 when this dropped. Get outta here dude.
He was a musical guest, along with Kanye, on Dave Chapelle's show, and he performed a few songs from this album. Loved it ever since.
Common is just a softer, balder, Drake. It's good music for dweebs
>>60319287
funny cause common dissed drake for being soft.
like, of all people.
>>60319287
drake it's shite though
>>60319287
But Common's actually good. Great even. Drake is overrated radio trash.
No, nobody else on Earth has ever heard it. You are literally the only one.
>>60316123
Poor man's Mos Def
>>60319545
>Mos Def
Literally who now?
Oh you mean Yasin Bey
Poor man's Be but still good.
>>60319867
Mos Def is a defining talent.
You better get on that shit, youngen'
>>60320051
Next you'll be telling me Jadakiss who?
You some faggot no talent appreciating Young Thug lovers.
I can't bump Young Thug, opposed from an God inspired track from Jamie xx.
NEET life has you a shit critic. Come off it.
>>60319239
I find the Dave Chapelle version of the food is more powerful than the album version.
yeah yeah yeah common and j dilla and madvillain and nas and muh real hip hop and muh turntablism and muh hip hop is a political movement meant to inspire the people and hip hop should have a positive message and have you checked out my hip hop vinyls and wow I just love street art
GODDAMN THIS SHIT IS BLAND AS MAYONNAISE AND DULL AS AN OLD SEDAN
>>60320256
>this is coming from a white person
It's such a fucking beautiful album. I never ever thought common would top Like Water for Chocolate but Be is about as close to perfect he'll ever get.
>>60320256
Thanks, White man.
