The song called "GO" about sexual fantasies is kinda hot. This song sums up all the sex songs that are out now, but its very intelligent, it was done in a tight kind of way....Common is so good with his words that it blew me away the first time I heard it. The album is very good, his best since "like water for chocolate" that i still can't seem to shake out of my system...

The old Common Sense is back ya'll!!!!!



"Go" IS hot! BE drops on my birthday, MAY 24th. party

wink I know. A friend of mine met him at a label function and said that he was cool. So, who knows, I probably get to meet this cat in person with his sexy ass. How did Badu let his ass go?

I understand wat you mean but I 'm glad he kept it simple this time. One day it'll all make sense was good but it had too many tracks and guest spots on it. I do wish that Jay Dee did more than 2 tracks on this one tho.

I think this album combines all of the stengths of Ressurection and One Day It Will All Make Since. I would agree with XXL on naming it a classic.

I guess I'm the only one who isn't crazy about this album. It is just not that deep and reeks of over-production. I guess you can hear Kanye West's influence on every track. I'm just not that impressed by the way he speeds up an old R&B song and then samples it. I am glad for Common though since this seems to be more listener-friendly than Electric Circus. But I thought Electric Circus was unique. This one is fluff in comparison but I guess that is what sells these days.

Okay...I am beyond my third listen and it is growing on me. In fact it is a nice album. How does that happen? You can hear something and not like it at first and then end up loving it. That happened with Musicology, esp. after hearing it on a $5000 stereo with 15 surround sound speakers.

I tend to disagree a bit. True It seems Kanye saved his best beats 4 Common ( I bet Jay-Z is ubset). But tracks like Chi-city put me in the Mind of DJ Premier and not Kanye.
