Did Common fall off?

OG, bite your damn tongue about Electric Circus. I must be the only guy in the world that thinks that album is great. Not a classic, but it's very good in my opinion. UMC is a solid album. I liked the majority of it. It's probably more accessable than Finding Forever. Inhale is awesome, great use of the "Don't walk away" drum sample.

Haha, I remember buying Electric Circus, listening to it all the way through, then I just put it away and blocked it out of my memory for a few months. Went back and listened to it again and still couldn't find more than one or two tracks I was REALLY feeling.

I don't know what he's trying to do with the music now, but he should just stick to rhyming.

i think Common tries to bring a different conceptual sound with every album and that some of the sounds work better than others. he is just trying to change it up with each album and bring something different. sometimes it flies, sometimes it doesn't. but he is still one of the best rappers of all time. no question. i will never lose faith in his ability to drop the dopest of material. he will never fall off. he'll just keep trying new things that you might or might not like.

just thought i'd post this track because i love it.

He can still rhyme. But I just think with his current success that he's not producing the same quality. UMC was not that good in comparison to his past efforts. For me Finding Forever was a let down. Both of these albums have some real good songs. But most of it leaves me unimpressed. Gladiator is by far his best track on the album.

I'm just used to him producing fire. One Day It All Makes Sense, Ressurection, Like Water For Chocolate, and Be are all top notch stuff. But these last two albums along with Electric Circus have been let downs.
