It was some of Primo´s stock beats, not great, and a very cheap video to boot. Common can do much better. Cant wait for his collab with Q-Tip. The Standard they call it. 2019. De La Soul Mos Def and Lupe Fiasco should be in it from what Im hearing.

[@lorenzogrissett3494]

Yes true

[@atcquentin]

SoulVibez this com didn't go anywhere, he's still dropping knowledge in his records

[@AfroVibez]

atcquentin I listened to his last album,'Nobody's smiling' . . I liked two songs 'rewind that' and '7 Deadly sins' . . . 'Rewind that' was heart felt, '7 Deadly sins' was what it was . . . wisdom . . . the other tracks were dated. I know most Fans won't like me saying it, but I wish he release Electric Circus 13 years late, lyrically compelling and ambitious bold experimental production that seems to be the route and direction of the new school hip hop.

[@bongumenzijiyane5064]

Black America Again was great

[@nagi_comics]

Electric Circus was released on the right time. 13 years later it would be without Dilla. The fact, that it is so ahead of its time makes it even more valuable. Othervise, I agree that Nobodys smiling was quite a letdown, but Black America Again is my favorite album of 2016. So much soul, musically very wealthy production, Karriem Riggins fits so well with Common. I hope that the next Common album would have even more Soulquarians members on it. Peace.

I got love for Common, always spreading the truth and stays true to his people.

This was during the second "conscious era" of hip hop, '98-'02... bling/jiggy/thug rap still dominated the airwaves, but cats like Common, The Roots, Black Star, Blackalicious, Dead Prez, Pharoah Monche, Outkast, etc. were still giving you that food for thought. That shit held me down during that time.

[@KtotheG]

Ronald Donald We might be in one right now with cats like Kendrick Lamar and Ab Soul leading the way. Chance the Rapper, Onyx, Lil Boosie, B.O.B., Lupe Fiasco and even older vets like Common and De La Soul have all released "woke" records over the last 5 years or so.
