I OWE ALL COMON ALBUMS
and i listened to all of them thousands of times
This year he is like the good the face of hip hop thats y everybody blessing him but FOR HIM to get 5 MIC album i mean cmon "BE" has probably the worst beats i ever heard, it only has ten songs and the shit he talked about in the songs ......... Yes he does talk about sensible stufff but that does not make him a great rap artist, just like Kanye he uses the image of being UNCOMERCIAL ..... and u hear all these ppl who are showing off how they are more into that "uncomercial stuff"........ pittifull
Common = average hip-hop artist with a good message
NOWERE CLOSE TO CLASSIC
