I agree. This is a great album. I put this up there with Resurrection and Like Water For Chocolate. I also like One Day It'll All Make Sense, and I haven't heard Can I Borrow A Dollar.
And Electric Circus was just way too out there for my taste.
Common's one of the best lyricists of our time, and I'm glad he's getting even more mainstream appeal in a world of lil jons and nellys.
BTW, he won the battle with Westside Connection. If any of you have heard The Bitch In Yoo...
I love the bass opening to Be. Reminds me of my days in jazz band
