For me ? It was Finding Forever...I've always been a fan of emcee's who have WHOLE package..i.e. flow,lyrics,beats,hook,concepts etc.(a nikka wit just dope lyrics doesn't cut it)..and Finding Forever IMO (inmyopinion) gave me all that I was looking for. This day and age its hard for me to find an album I can bump from beginning to the end. With common's latest joint there's no exception. I do skip a track or two but after that its easily listening. DOPENESS, beats, melodies, lyrics, hooks.
kels i can't disagree with you, Common's album was addicting.
i hate albums you cant listen to from beg to end, when theres only a song or two worth listening to, maybe even 5 ..but what about all the other songs that made the album??
i guess thats why sales are down, besides the internet downloading ..which most people do because they don't want the whole album, but maybe just the single off it.
albums need to be thought out more, put more effort in it front to back ..those are the albums that get categorized as "classics".
word up joints from beginning to end are Classics for real !! but unfortunately in todays weather of sub par material , I've grown accustomed to an album that has "skip-able tracks". Maybe a little TOO accustomed.
definitely & exactly lol
i mean ok u skip one or two songs, cool ..maybe ur just not feelin it, but when u skippin half - whole album? smh lol
one reason american gangster might be my album of the year ..beg to end i can listen to that shit all day ..ok ok i skip roc boys, i can only stand to hear that song when im watchin the video, then i have a change of heart and love it! lol
