Common has made such a quality album with Be. The album has made my best of 2005 and is quite possibly the greatest hip-hop album I've heard.

I find myself only frequently listening to 4 tracks from this album (the intro, Corners, Chi City & It's Your World). The rest just don't hold up to the standards of the other tracks. I've grown to like Electric Circus better than this one actually...

Probably one of my favorite hip hop albums of all time. I love his use of jazz samples and simple, catch synth melodies. His lyrics are very smart and witty. Definitely one of the better hip hop albums of this decade.

I simply LOVE the song Go!

It's so calm and smooth and soothing....and it's generally just a great song.

Good review.

Sort of almost killer but in the end, not quite. Good solid album and I definitely dig the production.

one of the best hip hop albums I've heard in a long time. This is the album I always wished Common sense would make.

I love Testify, and a few of the other songs are great. But overall it could have been better.

I agree, Testify is one of my favorite rap hits of the last year.

My new favorite off this is "Chi-City". The beat is perfect with Common's flow.

Great Album. In today's hip hop an album like this is a golden gift and one should appreciate it. This is a hip hop album that can be listened to on a sunday morning or long trip. Not too loud or long but has depth and meaning in its lyrics. Good Review. I do like "Go" but I agree that one who isn't a fan of Mayer may not like it too much. Also the "The Food" could have been an excellent song but the live sound deters from it. Faithful, such a great song. Wish it was longer.

I really enjoyed this album. It's a great rap album to chill out to. I look for big things from Common in years to come.
