I'm gonna wait till the actual album hits stores since I have a lot of faith in Common (and his dome) & Kanye West.

After hearing all the songs, I just can't help but pick this album up when it comes out in stores. I haven't skipped on one song yet and Kanye did some great production on this album. A perfect way to hold us down until Kanye and 50 battle in September.

Premo contributed the scratches, Ye did the production as a whole.

wow, this album is amazing after only 2 play throughs, i say this may already on par with "Be", which is quite an accomplishment as I pretty much consider that a classic

actually it's a different version, they changed the beat a bit, and the verses are different, not sure I like it.

Man...Common should have tried to keep this album under wraps (actually I should have not listened to every track that leaked)...but damn, this would have been more effective if none of the tracks leaked onto teh internets.

1. Intro 5/5, love the feel of it

2. Start the Show (produced by Kanye West) 4.5/5 Dope beat, nice lyrics

3. The People (produced by Kanye West) gets kinda old after a bit, was a 5/5, but now is 4/5 still dopeness though

4. I Want You (produced by will.i.am) 4/5, dopeness

5. Southside (Feat. Kanye West) (produced by Kanye West) 5/5, beat is DOPE and a head nodder

6. Drivin' Me Wild (Feat. Lily Allen) (produced by Kanye West) 3.5/5 chorus is annoying, otherwise cool

7. So Far To Go (Feat. D'Angelo) (produced by J. Dilla) 3.5/5 kinda nice, not that great though

8. Break My Heart (produced by Kanye West) 3/5 nice beat, annoying chorus, common comes kinda lazy with the lyrics

9. Black Maybe (Feat. Bilal) (produced by Kanye West) 5/5 classic common, dope ass beat

10. The Game (Feat. DJ Premier) (produced by Kanye West) 5/5 ^^^^

11. Misunderstood (produced by Devo Springsteen) 5/5 ^^^^

12. Forever Begins (produced by Kanye West) 4.5/5 I'm not a fan of Pop's rap...the song is dopeness though

13. Play Your Cards Right (Feat. Bilal) (UK Bonus Track) 4/5 yall already now this track is ill

Overall: 4.25/5, dope album, better then Be in some respects, not in others...we'll see how this one ages

I've learned that lesson a loong time too. Which is why the only song I've listened to here was The Game...thats it.

btw, u heard the new Camp Lo album?? (god this day owns, u got common, sean p, camp lo, and steele albums leakin all at once lool). From the two leaked tracks i heard...they sucked big time. But I'm still downloading it (now) nonetheless ,still have faith that the album will be good.

I'm not going to hear anything (except the singles) until the album comes out on the 31st (unless for some stupid reason it gets pushed back) Gotta support real hip hop.

i just love how common has not changed ONE BIT since he became so popular...this sounds like a "Like Water for Chocolate" part 2 or something. It's got the same feel as his other albums and is just classic Common, and I love it. If we had more artists like Common, hip hop wouldn't have the bad stereotypes and everything that it has now. He's gotta be the realest out there

I'm rating this based on the production, since Common's pretty much on most of the time haha


1. Intro 3.5/5, just another intro

2. Start the Show (produced by Kanye West) 3/5 the beat's kind of annoying in the verses

3. The People (produced by Kanye West) 4/5

4. I Want You (produced by will.i.am) 3/5 will.i.am didn't do too bad, uses the same break Dilla did for "The Light"...and tries to blend it with some Tribe sounding bongo/basslines, not really feeling it, but w.e. I didn't expect anything really good.

5. Southside (Feat. Kanye West) (produced by Kanye West) 4/5 I'm not sure Common really fits this beat, I can't make up my mind.

6. Drivin' Me Wild (Feat. Lily Allen) (produced by Kanye West) 3.5/5 chorus is annoying, otherwise cool (couldn't have said it better)

7. So Far To Go (Feat. D'Angelo) (produced by J. Dilla) 3.5/5 this pisses me off, they changed up the mixing to this song, and it sounds like ass now, the one on the Shining is 5X better

8. Break My Heart (produced by Kanye West) 4/5 nice beat, annoying chorus, common comes kinda lazy with the lyrics (i agree, but I kinda like the chorus)

9. Black Maybe (Feat. Bilal) (produced by Kanye West) 5/5 ****c common, dope ass beat (agree)

10. The Game (Feat. DJ Premier) (produced by Kanye West) 5/5 ^^^^ (agree)

11. Misunderstood (produced by Devo Springsteen) 3/5 kinda bland

12. Forever Begins (produced by Kanye West) 4/5 I'm not a fan of Pop's rap...the song is dopeness though (agree)

13. Play Your Cards Right (Feat. Bilal) (UK Bonus Track) 3.5/5 this beat annoys me

3.75, it's a good album, but not as good as they claimed it would be.

I listened to half of it and so far it sounds good. I like that will.i.am track but I'm not sure if it'll be better then the new talib kweli album. Plus I hear kweli pushed back his album and now there might be a few more new songs on it.

Dumbass :P lol, and you were the main one posting all of the tracks that leaked in all of those threads....you've gotta be patient son, it makes the album feel better as a whole. I've yet to hear one track that leaked, or the singles that have come out, or anything...all I've heard are his freestyles from 106, and Rap City :)
