@sfknns i know! me n my sis were talking about how we completely missed this album. we have all his albums throughout the years but didnt even know this one dropped.
You tricks can't hide behind expensive cars and clothes.
I love that shit.
I'm happy for Com, though. Yes, his music is terrible now, but this guy was putting out great albums for the better part of his career before the mainstream finally recognized how good he was. Platinum records should be reserved for actual talented people. (And actual good albums, but that's another argument.)
after listening to this, i must say i am a bit sad, sad that such a great rapper went commercial , he was really great back in the day, 18 fucking years ago. But now, sadly he is just another sold out nigga, at least he could have stayed real. People need to understand that PAPER doesn't bring happiness, and he from suburban Chicago, should know that better then anyone.
@qaanjeer500 man you cant forget souls of mischief.. or what about masta ace..the LIKS...THE WU...a tribe called quest i could go on. and gangstarr isnt a rapper you probably meant G.U.R.U. its to bad my friends are brainwashed by gimicky mainstream as jeru would say BULLSHIT.
@iMReCKLeSS22 ahhh ok. knew it was no i.d. or dug inf. this joint has that RZA appeal. very wu-ish! woulda been so ill if they asked GZA, RAE, or TONY to hop on as a guest.
"soft like tiger woods........" was he prophesizing??????????????lol, my favorite rapper ever....when father god put his lyrics in my life, i truly saw a change for the better. thats what good music is to me
He asks you to elaborate (meaning embellish, tell more, tell why you think so) and your reply is to look even more like a 12-year old... That does not exactly strenghten your argument.
I agree that Nas was better once (when he was Nasty Nas), but that is because I prefer hardcore street rap, if you look at skills there is probably not much difference in their level IMO.
Quisite y can stfu cuz I'm not 12 .got it. I probably Jo more bout hip hop more than u do so again stfu . I say nas is better cuz it's true Iean this guy can't even fucking sing

As much as you guys hate on Kanye, you don't seem to realize that he IS real hiphop at heart. Doing songs with Common, 88 Keys, Little Brother, Consequence, Q-Tip, DJ Premier, freestyling with Ahmad on the Wake Up Show, etc. You guys can hate on Ye all you want, but even passed all the songs he has done recently that aren't exactly "Real Hip Hop", he still is "Real Hip Hop" to the death. You guys saying he's not must not really know Hip Hop.
Crook, you are right, Kanye is on his game and is not one of these ringtone coon ass rappers talking about selling crack and killing folk. He brings back the lyricism, wit and swagger that is the best shit about hip-hop.
yeah but to me kanye plays both sides of the fence. 1 minute hes doing good shit with common, 88 keys, talib kweli, mos def, the roots, jay z, etc but the turns around and does autotune, makes a album consisting of only singing, & starts hanging with lil gayne, t-pain in my ass, soulja boy, & other retards so yeah!

Common conducted a rasp class on this muthafuckin' track! Whoever thought Common was on some green tea shit need to listen to this song. "Hip hop u my bitch and like a Ford i'm explorin' you"! HUH!!!!!!! Niggas ain't fuckin Lonnie Smith on that mic!
Common Sense. Is it me or does the name no longer hold any definition since he dropped it? Peep how we could barely catch a glimpse of his face in this vid. Now we get bombarded with close-ups of his good looks and beefed up body in videos and film. Happy for him though.
True that, but Fiasco9128 you can't compare Lil Wayne and Common. They aren't in the same league. Lil Wayne is like a good high school athlete, Common is an NBA All-star on the mic.
