[kinstube]

[twistjahgy]

[CFinTV]

lLLNESS! Peeps slept on Electric Circus! Too original for some! Might not be his best overall but he hasn't made a better album since

[1trl2]

The electric circus LP is garbage overall but this is 1 of 4 songs i dig on it. Maybe cus i'm a aquarius lol

[kinstube]

ELECTRIC CIRCUS = ECLECTIC PURPOSE !!!

[AngryMan410]

[Chikagba]

@princeatom3121 Dude was ahead of his time...the time is NOW to rep this classic

[SoulfulDesign]

U ain't suppose to rhyme/ betta off with a clothing line ? Bahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!! This wack!!

[SoulfulDesign]

LOL. Common wit the crochet hat and Soy Green jacket.

[kinstube]

I LOVE THIS ALBUM !!! THANK YOU.

[jarbon5]

I have commented on this song before, but I gotta say again, I love this song! From that electric guitar that signals that something outstanding is on the way, to the fiery lyrics that Common lays down on this outrageous beat, this song is just awesome! I am so glad that Common was caught up in the euphoria he felt for Erykah Badu and made an album like this, this was a nice little break from normal hiphop. I thought it was cool, him going outside the box on this album:)

[SoulfulDesign]

Thank God Kanye West saved Common from this era of music. If He didn't, next Common would have change his name to General Zod and stay making acid hippie 60's psychodelic hiphop.

[pescaterian11]

@SoulfulDesign Ain't nothing wrong with that. 60s psychedelic hip-hop Common would have been amazing.

[sk80soarus]

@SoulfulDesign This was produced by J Dilla I do believe. If it were by Kanye, it'd be obnoxious.

[rayallen0]

@sk80soarus lmfao stfu. Be is an amazing album. Kanye is an amazing artist unless you just hate anybody succsessful. yes dilla is better but u gonna shit on kanye? fuck that dumb shit.

[oneshotcannon]

@SoulfulDesign

I take it you arent feelin this song? Or album for that matter?

[TheBluntedKid]

@SoulfulDesign this album kicks ass. Get over it.

[flyerbumm]

@SoulfulDesign I don't think Kanye saved Common. They made some great tracks together, but i would change all kanye/common tracks for the Electric Circus II .

[SoulfulDesign]

@flyerbumm What??

[JohntheLiberator]

@SoulfulDesign Hahaha! This album is a classic. R.I.P. J DiLLA!!!!

[SoulfulDesign]

@JohntheLiberator This album is a classic? Huh? What part of the world are you from? This album is a classic in that country Borat is from , and parts of Abu Dhabi. The hippie beat nick parts. I play this album when I need something to laugh it.

[JohntheLiberator]

@SoulfulDesign I'm from Philadelphia homeboy. You laughing, but you laughing from the sideline. Haha!

[SoulfulDesign]

@JohntheLiberator Huh? I check your page. I'm not even comment gonna comment Chewbacca.

[mrcincymusic513]

@SoulfulDesign general zod ! haha

[lolknifefight]

@SoulfulDesign oh man only in time will you see how whack this comment is

[tommywedgewood]

@SoulfulDesign Kanye didn't do anything but introduce the hiphop head we've been lovin since '92 to '02. the tracks were always there. lie and say No I.D. wasn't cold, and if you do that means you're too young to know who No I.D. is. funny, you make that statement about Common and his direction on this particular album, but what do you have to say about "808's and Heartbreaks?" lord knows that is no standard hiphop.

[BennyLascoMusic]

Aquarius here. 

[keenan871]

does anyone know of any other references to the age of the aquarius in music/hiphop ?

[supa5th]

2/13/75 my o'l Earth introduced me to the world. Peace to all my Aquarians!

[Decczar]

this sounds like that curtis mayfield "gypsy woman". common has always been a beast to me!!!!

[namkooc]

is this themost slept on album ever? soooooooooooooooooo underatted to meitsamasterpiece

[mkadoza]

Common spits heated truth all the time. Holla back, BUT LISTEN FIRST!!

[kinstube]

ONE OF THEME SONGS, THIS IS !!!!!!

[kinstube]

@kinstube ONE OF MY THEME SONGS, THIS IS

[wkm92779]

Holla back, but listen first. God, i used to love H.I.M.

[Shadowlily21]

produced by Questlove, J Dilla, James Poyser and Pino Palladino

[seboufdu59]

Dilla.

[LOUIEdotVee]

This is by far in my opinion one of his best tracks....but as we all know he has a lot of good songs.

[kinstube]

!!!!!!!!!!! EVERYONE HAS TO LOVE THESE WONDEROUS WAVES OF SOUND + ENERGY !!!!!!!

[bunnyman95]

RIP J.DILLA.

[TheBluntedKid]

I remember when this album came out in '02.. mad peoples were torn.. where is Common goin? Whats he doin? I was impressed yo.. he took his rhymin and the music to another level...maybe a level lots of hardcore rappers dont get yet. This fusion was a sign of things to come.. as its all over the place now.h

[tobelina]

@TheBluntedKid i totally agree!!

its ironic though. everyone hops on lil wayne's balls when he talks about stuff that doesnt make sense. but common tries something different and peeps are tripping without listening to the complexity of it all

common's bars in this song transcends metaphors

[illgil26]

Reminds me of Bruce Lee kickin' much ass!!!

[RikJamezBich]

I don't know, I'd say looks like COmmon got that cheeba cheeba.

[splithaddock]

@17DM Is it an audio interview? If so do you know if it's on youtube? Ta

[youcef]

This is the common I remember--before he fell off. Com's rhymes were so clever it was unbelievable at times. Since he's been making movies, he just hasn't had the same impact with his raps anymore

[flyerbumm]

common is crazy inspired on this one. i hear in his voice he put everything to his lines...

TOO GOOD. This album has to be rereleased !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jaydeeforever1]

holla, back but listen first. that one line was crazy.

[unolove1]

Are you hearing that chorus?

"The water river runs/... To purify the world/.... Flying through the night/.... So watch out here we come"

That is the sickest chorus EVER! Erykah Badu is a genius for that one. "Flying through the night/So watch out here we come"

Imagine that visual. Thats on some Fantastic 4 shit.

Totally amazing.

[SW4TR3PP1N]

shout out to all my aquarius out there!!

[lynsta7]

Groove jam!

[jarbon5]

This is one of my favorite songs from HipHop, period! Common goes in on the beat, and just beats the hell out of it! With the verses he spittin', he swinging Incredible Hulk strong on it too!

[bearfan83]

This is Common's 2nd best album. Much better than the next one which got Common mainstream, and 2nd only to the one that got him the most critical acclaim (Like Water For Chocolate)

[Aciremet]

shout out to all the AQUARIANS!

[LacedBoy]

Dilla was incredible. He brought out the best in Common imho.

[aca28833]

Fuckin genius!!

[jarbon5]

For those that are wondering, he killed this song!

[kinstube]

KiN CAMELL = 2/18

[Bananarepublicboy]

"Punchlines like Roy Jones with poems While you and your dogs foam at the mouth Thinking rap is the only way out The black human genius will never play out I take you way out, where you never been before Been it since birth, sent to replish the Eatrh That truck that you roll is like a miniature hearse I deaded your shit before you finished a verse From niggas to gods from bitches to earths From Nat to Truck Turner that lives in my verse Realness is an act that you cannot rehearse" - Common

[Buxdehoode]

holla back but listen first

were in the age of aquarius

[0FarBeyondDriven0]

This song is the business.
