Classic5
One of the greatest rap classic after Nas's "Illmatic".
All songs are different and great...

Get it if you a true rap FAN.

Exellent5
This will always be my favourite Common album it was my first and since this iv been a big fan and i now own all of Common's albums,but this is the best a true MASTAPIECE.

Relaxed, deep, a great thoughtful album.5
This is the album most Common fans, and fans of hip-hop in general, remember him for, and thats the way it should stay. This is an excellent display of lyrical mastery, uplifting choruses and great guest appearances.

As is often the case with Common, jazzy beats and samples are used a lot, with 'Coldblooded' being a good example. 'The Light' and 'The 6th Sense' are the tracks you will have heard and these are brilliant. Other standout tracks are 'Funky For You', featuring an excellent chorus sung by Jill Scott, 'Thelonius' and 'A Song for Assata'.

But, the best track on this album is easily track 7, 'The Questions'. The beat is flowing with a beautiful jazz feel that I will never tire of, and the lyrics are both thought-evoking and humourous.

Overall, I would recommend this album for any true fan of hip-hop, and urge them to check his other work, which is also great. Its an easy decision to give this 5 stars.
