1. BE [Produced by Kanye West & Jay Dee] - beat coming out nicely...not really a typical dope kanye beat...but its a good beat...Common comes in spitting nicely on the beat...Basically simple rhymes, nothing that really stands out...But this is jus a intro...Nothing really much to say about this, jus a quick verse for a intro...but still a good refreshing listen from common...8/10
2. Corners (w/ Kanye West & Last Poets) [Produced by Kanye West] - Everyone should have heard this song and seen the video by now...so not really much to say about this...10/10
3. Go [Produced by Kanye] - I love this beat...Mellow beat...Common spitting on it nicely..of course...Chorus is ehhh, its kind of catchy...but way to simple...but i think people would be feeling it...but im loving the vibes off this song...i could mos def get high to this...if you dont like this song...there is seriously something wrong with you...10/10
4. Faithful (w/ Bilal & John Legend) [Produced by Kanye West] - A Kanye sample...so you should already know what to expect from this...Dope ass beat...Talking about his girl...Kind of obvious for the title...Chorus is sampled...Bilal and John Legend sings at the end which really makes this song stand out...damn, them 2 singing at the end sounds dope as hell...there is no flaws at all in this song...An amazing track...10/10
5. Testify [Produced by Kanye West] - This sample sounds very familar...It sounds like he used this sample before...But still a nice beat...Story telling song about a court trail...I dont really think the beat fits well with his topic...others will probably think different but thats just my opinion...But common spits a nice story on this one...Only problem is, its way to short...9/10
6. Love Is [Produced by Jay Dee] - Dont think i heard anything from jay dee...but this is a dope beat...Chorus is jus nice...This is mos def some summertime shit right here...Or wit yo girl chilling type shit...Common spits nicely over this beat...not one flaw in this track...common jus gets doper every track...this is one of my fav songs off this album...10/10
7. Chi City [Produced by Kanye West] - "I Rap with the passion of Christ, Nigga cross me"...damn im loving that line...anotha dope beat by kanye...Common comes off nicely..."I Wonder if these wack niggas realize they wack, they the reason that my people say they tired of that"...word to that...Basic mixed chorus...Nothing to special there...But this is a dope song right here...he speaks alot of knowledge on this, that everyone should hear...10/10
8. The Food (w/ Kanye West) [Produced by Kanye West] - Im sure alot of people have seen common and kanye perform this joint on the chappelles show...Dope beat...Common once again spits nicely on this joint...Im feeling the chorus...Its really catchy...good track...but i heard it so many times, that it aint as dope as it was when i first heard it...but first time listeners will love this joint on the first listen...8.5/10 (only because i heard it so many times)
9. Real People [Produced by Kanye West] - Jazzy beat...not really any drums in it...But this is a nice track...Common spits real nice on this kind of beat...Some nice lines hear and there...another knowledge track, that i think everyone should hear...this song is way to short, i want to hear more then this...9/10
10. They Say (w/ Kanye West & John Legend) [Produced by Kanye West] - John Legend starts and blesses the song with his singing...Another typical dope kanye beat...Common starts it off nicely right after John...second verse Im guessing this is kanye rapping...but it sounds nothing like kanye...but whoeva it is...he spitting nicely on the beat...chorus is real nice by john legend...nice drop...no flaws in this song...9/10
11. It's Your World/Pop's Reprise (w/ Bilal) [Produced by Jay Dee] - Jay Dee with another nice production...Bilal singing in the beginning gives off the vibe in this song...Common comes in spitting on some niceness..."its the black upon each other, that were loving so much/ wonder how many of us, is drugs gon touch" im loving that...Chorus has a real nice vibe to it...Bilal did a real nice job on it...this is another one of my fav tracks...real dope song...Last few minutes of the song a guy is spitting some poetry...Im guessing one of the Lost Poets...10/10
Overall if this album is not a classic...then i dont know what is...Nothing on this album is wack...and nothing on this album is skippable...I will be buying this when it hits stores...ITS TO FUCKIN SHORT THO....COMMON SHOULD OF PUT MORE TRACKS ON IT!!!!
Overall Rating 9/10 (Classic)
