Admittedly, I was somewhat dissapointed with EC initially. The album is actually pretty good. I like the collab with Stereolab. It is a shame that he has to defend it; he has blessed us with Resurrection, One Day it Will All Make Sense, Like Water for Chocalate, and now Be (not to mention his incredible guest spots(Blackstar, De La, The Roots, Tribe), Underground tracks, and Freestyles). He has been consistent since 1992. I think he is a creative genius, and may be the best MC in his generation. 190777@blogcritics.org Wed, 27 Jul 2005 15:11:49 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/05/27/042450.php#comment-159238 I liked a few songs from electric circus, but BE is a classic. And it also looks like his label is pushing it heavy from all the tv shows he is on. I cant wait to see what his sales are for the first week.

There is someone else in this world that appreciates Electric Circus as much as I do. The thing about hip hop that I hate is that a lot of people who profess to be true fans of the genre tend to be very narrow-minded at times. Be is a good album too, but Common create something special with Electric Circus. 159113@blogcritics.org Fri, 27 May 2005 10:36:04 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/05/27/042450.php#comment-159034 Common is special. This guy brings something new to the table. He'll get his dues. 159034@blogcritics.org Fri, 27 May 2005 05:11:29 EDT
