    Its Just Common Sence!!!

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jun 3, 2005 | 3 out of 3 found this Be review helpful

    Pros: Be

    Cons: The Best Album Out

    This is the best CD I have heard since BluePrint1. Common has done it, there isnt another artist that can put a album out like this. Im talking about real hip-hop, not jewelry rap. Common deserves 5 mics

    what we all thought he could do

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  May 25, 2005 | 2 out of 2 found this Be review helpful

    Pros: remembering when you first herd Be

    Cons: why isnt the hiphop world not doing work like this

    This album is a classic no more no less. Common has done it. He has put together the hiphop classic album we all knew he could do. Its kinda like you knew that one day he was going to do it. Some artist you know will put together a hiphop classic but... its only a select few. Now Common's "Be" will be that album we all say where were you when you first herd....................

    Common or Simply Unique?

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Oct 6, 2007

    Pros: mellow, smooth sounds, profound lyrics

    Cons: n/a

    The CD is hot, hot, hot! Mellow, jazz and R & B fusion. Common gives the listener heart and soul in this one. Particularly in "Misunderstood."

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Feb 8, 2007

    Pros: Gifted artist who knows/respects his history

    Cons: More tracks would have been great.

    "Be" is 1 of his 2 best albums (One Day it will all Make Sense). All the tracks are exceptional...and unlike most rappers, you can actually learn something if you listen to what he's saying. "Faithful" and "It's your ...world" are two of my favorites on this album. Get it if you don't have it. A classic indeed. Be a cartographer, Pops! Read more Less

    Same Ol' Common!

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Nov 6, 2006

    Pros: He's A Real Lyricist!

    Cons: Cons?! With Common?! Please.

    Common knows how to spit that fire! He doesn't degrade women like most of these pop rap artists are doing and he speaks the truth! I listen to different forms of hip-hop, but there's time you want to take a break from the radio "hip-pop&...quot; and those artists that all they do is beef one another and act like fake gangstas just to sell records. Common sold many copies of this record not just because of Kanye West, but because people can learn from this cat about real life and not the fantasy world of cars, houses, sex, and drugs! I know a lot of non-black fans that know who Common is, and that's a surprise knowing that Com is more on the underground level! They too know what true hip-hop is as much as I do! Turn off that radio and cop all of Common's albums. I did! Read more Less

    Common

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Feb 10, 2006

    Pros: Common lyrically at his best combined with Kanye's production

    Cons: Album was way too short

    Unmistakenly one of the best of 2005, Common emerged from the shadow of the labeled "backpack" and "underground" rapper. And did it all without changing his style. This whole LP was classic with songs such as "Real People&quo...t; and "California". A must have in your collection. Read more Less

    What greatness in musical standards are made of...

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jan 11, 2006

    Pros: n/a

    Cons: n/a

    Historical, Emotional, Expectational..Fulfilling
    ...Common returns with the aid of soulful beat crafter/ emcee, Kanye West. Common & Kanye are un-macthed in glory... Kanye's tracks compliment the Common message beautifully, simply the most defined... Common album thus far! An astonishing ressurection after 2002's much slept on, "Electic Circus". Showcases a more mature, sincere, humble, & content Common than on past releases. Tracks like "Be (Intro)" & "Love Is" animate Common's convictions with ease! Easily one of the Greatest Hip Hop Albums of the last decade. Read more Less

    Best Album of the Year

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Nov 23, 2005

    Pros: real hip hop

    Cons: none

    Best album of the year. Every track is real. Even though theres only 11 tracks every one of them is hot and u can just let the album play all the way through without skipping. That seems hard to find in an album these days. If you love real hip hop i... would definitely reccomend you pick this album up. Read more Less
