Is a fucking amazing song. Commons new shit is bound to be sick with this and The Game being the first two singles. I hope Finding Forever lives up to the standard of Be and Like Water For Chocolate.

Commons lyrics are sick and it's the first song in awhile where I feel like the artist is actually speaking to you.

The beat is mindblowing.

Nuff said.

It actually does live up to the standard of Be...it's what Be wants to be when it grows up.

Ye, the cd lives up to it. I've listened it through a couple of times now and it just keeps getting better. Though i feel that the first half of the cd is somewhat, and somehow, better then the second half.

It need to go in the 'Good new hip-hop' thread.

[mike lowrey]

this was already discussed in the hip-hop thread, but this album deserves its own topic for sure.

as un said, Finding Forever is like a complete and refined Be. Common sounds sharp, production is ace. Kanye is a beast and Forever Begins is probably my favorite track of the year.

I think will.i.am is a good procuder and I like the fact that hes producing for artists like Common. shows that he appreciated good hip-hop.
