The new Common CD is amazing.

  1. yes, yes it is. Easily one of my faves of the year, although I’ve heard many people say they’re tired of the Kanye West produced beat style (too many sped up soul samples).

    I can understand that, but you can’t argue that the man is a gifted lyricist.

  2. I think Kanye’s production style works perfectly on this album. Mind you, I love sped-up-soul. I think the intro track is fucking brilliant, on par with the Stillmatic Intro and the Doggystyle Intro.

Don't be shy, you can comment too!

 
Some things to keep in mind: You can style comments using Textile. In particular, *text* will get turned into text and _text_ will get turned into text. You can post a link using the command "linktext":link, so something like "google":http://www.google.com will get turned in to google. I may erase off-topic comments, or edit poorly formatted comments; I do this very rarely.
