ON his first couple of albums he sounds like he's rapping with marbles in his mouth, got on the boho rap shit a little late... Why are people on his dick?

He has cool hats.

He was great on that Armand Van Helden track.

Ressurection.

Alternate answer: No one actually likes him.

Alternate alternate answer: he's good live.

well, it's funny. he aint such a big deal (circus was an abomination). BUT, he was Mos Def 2 years before Mos Def. Someone who was going to save the underground with clarity of thought, jazzy beats, and had breakthrough potential. But he's just not exciting.

Clarity? I can never understand what the fuck he's saying. It's like he has a speech impediment. He pretty much shitted on ever decent beat he rode.

Resurrection is one of the best rap albums in history. And I've never really had problems understanding his voice, but I can understand someone uninitiated to him not really getting what he says. either way, he's got some stellar lines over his career and regardless of his most recent transgressions, i'm a fan.

as much as he bores me now, Common's flow is sublime. it's almost enough to carry itself without interesting beats (which he often lacks).

Is this the slowest moving hiphop thread ever?

Rockist Scientist (rockistscientist), Saturday, 31 January 2004 06:43 (twenty-two years ago)

I hate hip hop

Aja (aja), Saturday, 31 January 2004 06:44 (twenty-two years ago)

Al (sitcom), Saturday, 31 January 2004 07:08 (twenty-two years ago)

That's right!

Aja (aja), Saturday, 31 January 2004 07:10 (twenty-two years ago)

I really like common. Umm...thats all I have to say right now.
