two years and almost two months after his prior release "be", common finally dropped his new album this week. i must say that common has really grown to be one of my favorite artists of all time. dropping superb beats flavored with east cost breaks and that sweet chi-town style that he has captured so well, this record "finding forever" proves to be right where he left off in 05'. if you are a fan of hip hop and haven't heard of him, i suggest you pick this one up along with "be". if you know of common, you most likely already have this record in your hands.special guests include wil.i.am (production), j dilla (production), d'angelo, kanye (vox and production), and lily allen.
like most artists he's evolved a bit from his last release, but the same smooth flow over top of his same sick and intelligent rhythms make this album an instant classic...in my book anyways. maybe he'll get a Grammy for this one...i will be crossing my fingers.
what i didn't like:
kanye west should stick to producing. he totally stole from this record's appeal. his rhymes are stupid and totally predictable. i really wish he would just stick to ruining his own albums.
all in all...i give it 4 stars.
