Common [Lester]
Just picked up the new Common joint, Be.
From intro to end, it's solid as hell, a nice departure from Common's one-hit albums. In the past it's seemed like he put all of his effort into one single to get airplay but lagged on the rest of the album: rushed, tired, burnt.
The only charts on this album that I would say are like that are Testify (because he could've done a lot more w/ the lyrics and story) and adding the Chappelle's Show performance (it's dope, but too easy).
Anyway, not going to pretend like I write for XXL. Go out and get it.
