Common – Be: On May 24, 2005, Common released his sixth album. This MC has one of the best catologs of albums in Hip Hop. But after the negative criticisms he got from Electric Circus, Common dropped arguably his best album to date. With Kanye West doing most of the producing and Common doing what he does best… the combination is flawless. It is an absolutely “NO SKIP” album. From track one to eleven, the whole album flows to perfection.
Production: Kanye West and J Dilla.
Guest Appearances: Kanye West, The Last Poets, Jonh Legend, John Meyer, and Bilal.
This album has one of my favorite intros of all time with the BE (intro)… Faithful, Go, They Say, Real People, and Love Is were great… Testify was a good story with a twist… Chi City was also great, but my FAVORITE TRACK is
