Common: Be
So, I finally got my hands on the Common album with full artwork and liner notes. Although Prefix's Matt Gasteier will have a review up next week and despite Common being mentioned in about 4 blog posts in the past week, I can't help but post on this album. (*Disclaimer: Matt might hate the album for all I know. I haven't talked with him about the album.)
Be received a 4.5/5.0 at Vibe and the Source and XXL gave it the XXL. To all the praise I say COMFS (Co-Muthafuckin Sign). I've listened to the album 4x in a row as in back to back to back to back. I can only compare it to drinking the purest water to refresh yourself even if you didn't know you needed it. Did that make any sense?
