Tracklisting:
1. Be 2. Corners f/ Kanye West and The Last Prophets 3. Go 4. Faithful f/ Bilal and John Legend 5. Testify 6. Love is 7. Chi City 8. The Food f/ Kanye West 9. Real People 10. They Say f/ Kanye West and John Legend 11. It's your World/Pops Reprise f/ Bilal 1. Be One of the best songs on this album even though he only spits one verse. The lyrics are top notch talking about the world and hip hop and shit, it has one of my favorite beats on the album if not the best. Theres only one weakness to this song and its that its only one verse, if he put more verses it would be even better but its still good none the less. 9/10 2. Corners f/ Kanye West and The Last Prophets Great track and single. Lyrics are dope and the beat is sick. I liked his rhyme schemes throughout the verses keeping them the same, song is talking about real shit and is another great song on this album. 10/10 3. Go Another good track, i think it would do good as a single. Hes talking about a girl...i guess the girl everyone has their eyes on and just says things like i would do this and treat you like this etc. but its good and i like the beat also...but to me it gets tiring and played...i listened to it a few times then it got annoying lol 8/10 4. Faithful f/ Bilal and John Legend GREAT track and another best on the album, saying what if god was a woman and talking about being faithful to the good women out there, another great beat as well. 10/10 5. Testify Another good track, but i cant really tell what hes talking about...i know its a man on trial and a woman going through a mans hustling life, i could understand the beginning then near the end it gets harder to interpret for me even though i liked the last verse the most...i like the rhythm and how he flowed with the beat 8/10 6. Love is Another track that stands out...i like the beat, its a "love" slow type beat. Hes explaining love basically throughout the song, how it effects people, and what it can do... 10/10 7. Chi City Wasnt really feelin this track too much...the beat and lyrics are ok, nothing that stands out to me, not one of the best on the album 6/10 8. The Food f/ Kanye West I like the beat and lyrics a lot...this song is real good. It was the song performed on a Chappelles show i think...cuz it sounded real familiar when i heard it and i think this was that song but i could be wrong. 10/10 9. Real People The beat feels like a jazz/old school type feel with the trumpet and the lyrics were good giving out a message but it got kind of tiring cuz his tone of voice stayed the same throughout the whole song which is calm and mellow. 8/10 10. They Say f/ Consequence and John Legend Commons verse was good i felt but i didnt like Consequences...it made the song wack and i would just skip the song whenever his verse comes up, the beat is ok not the best but it goes good with commons verse. 8/10 11. It's your World/Pops Reprise f/ Bilal Common says what he has to say in the beginning to middle and he does it good with the lyrics, the beat doesnt feel too unique and it gets played/boring quickly...after about 4 minutes of common the beat switches to real instruments...piano, sounds like bongos, and those little circle things with the rings around them when you hit them it makes the rings move and it makes a sound i think those belly dancers use them...anyway thats another instrument, if theres more then 3 i cant notice...but the guy is just talking while all the instruments are formed into a slow kind of poetry type beat and hes talking Be...Be cautious, Be noone except I...etc. and explaining all the Bes and like life itself and the song ends with the piano and it sounds really good. 10/10 Overall this album is really worth getting. Good album lyrically and the beats are great as well. The entire album is produced by Jay Dee and Kanye West. Final Rating:9/10 peace |
dope album.......

lmao...it said kanye so thats what i was assuming since it sounded like him, ill change it
FREAKIN IDIOT [/napolean impersonation :thumbup:] peace |
i like common alot and he was always nice but he gets old when he is on a whole album by himself i like when he collabs with anyone and his freestyles are sick

5. Testify
Another good track, but i cant really tell what hes talking about...i know its a man on trial and a woman going through a mans hustling life, i could understand the beginning then near the end it gets harder to interpret for me even though i liked the last verse the most...i like the rhythm and how he flowed with the beat 8/10 its about a man on trial cuz of some shit.........then its about his girl bein a witness....but she flips the whole thing on the court cuz she was the one that commited the whole thing and put it on her man......sick |

This was a dope album.. Most def feelin Common on dis one.
|
i think the consequence guy was on it AT FIRST and than kanye took his part........... cuz i had a bootlegged version, and than i got the real cd and that second verse was different... u could def. tell also because the bootlegg doesnt have that kinda squeeky end rhyme thing goin on wen he says "wheels" and "deals" and all that
i listened to the whole album straight thru yesterday again and it was pretty good...... i liked Be, really dope track, beat is awesome.... and for some reason i am really feelin that "ur world" track..... along with Faithful and Testify.... Go is ok, and i cant help but like the Chi City track (altho i can admit it isnt great)..... every track on this album was at the worst Above Average, he had no Bad tracks on this album by far and most were pretty dope.... even wen his lyrics werent that great, the beats were awesome and original Chicago is really doin its thing |
Common- Be was the d0pest album i ever heard...
:headbang: |
word-dillio, I got this, it's pretty coo
|
Twas a good listen..
|
^ no it wasn't
