The Power of Labels

peace be upon you khalil,
I have only heared two tracks off of the album, BE and an amazing remix of the corner (here).
ive already heard the remix of the corner, i like it better than the album version but I still love the album version
Common's last three albums have being amazing and he alway's comes with something unique, creative and beautiful each album (yes! including Electric Circus eek, so I'm holding out for the retail Only thing im a lil erk'd about is that Kanye is to be on most of the tracks (.
i was actually excited that Kanye would be on all or most of it, I didn't enjoy the production on Electric Circus, the thing is that Kanye doesn't do much of that enoying sped up vocal sampling on his production as he usually does on the album (based on the bootleg), only had one or two beats like that
It's funny because I am reading a book right now that use's the term isness to define God as just BEing so the line has stood out to me in a much deeper way now, good way to end a song.
What are some of your favourite tracks of Common's? G.O.D, Retrospect 4 Life, Time Travling, Ghetto Heaven, Nag Champ and Between Me, You & Liberation are all amazing classic's IMO.
Retrospect for Life is one of my favorites, I Used To Love H.E.R., Its Your World (from the new album, instant classic to me), Respiration (though he only had one verse on it, it was with Black Star), etc.

I liked the overall production except for Come Close, my CD was missing one track strangly S. It's a real great album, but if you'r listening to One Day It'll All Make Sense then smoothly transfer to Like Water for Choclate you'll probally spill your water and chocolate when you reach Electric Circus because it's such a drastic detour from Common's previous paths, but he ain't switch over, he just made his own lane. It was definitely unexpected, so the album was terrible first hand when I was expecting ol common.
the thing is that Kanye doesn't do much of that enoying sped up vocal sampling on his production as he usually does on the album (based on the bootleg), only had one or two beats like that
I'm more concerned that Kanye will do a terrible chorus! evil

Retrospect had a great video, I love the colours they blend with the song, the whole vibe from that era was so very soothing. I play I Used to Love H.E.R to many times, I used to like it alot, still classic but not for everyday use. I don't recall how Respiration sounds but Thieve's In The Night is a classic.
peace,
