Free Music Notes for Finding Forever
Free Music Review: common finding forever??
Hit: 3 Stars
you know after talking to a prominent hip-hop producer i am friends with and a group of friends at a BBQ we all decided that finding forever is commons third worst album. he has some horrible lines on this album and i have grown tired of Kanye doing his beats. LWFC will be his best album PERIOD. Jay Dilla produced most of that album and Jay Dilla/Common album are hip-hop magic. unfortunately we will never have another LWFC. the best way i can describe this album is its like a date with a ugly girl and you try to look below the serface to see if there is anything deeper to her and after the date is up you come up with nothing. too back up me saying that this is his third worst album i will go thru the list of best to worst....Like Water For Chocolate, Be, Resurection, One Day It Will All Make Sense, Finding Forever, Can I Borrow A Dollar? and Electric Circus...i can stand behind that list all day.
i'm not sayin its a bad album at all. its just that it feels like Be Vol. 2 and not something new. it definatly feels rushed, he even said he made this album in between filming two movies. i hope you sell two million Com you deserve it. get your money......we comin from the south side!

Bought this just last week after reading the same reviews here, and it dropped in my mail box yesterday. And it was as if Hannibal whispered in my ear *What is an artist; what is his nature?* and I whispered back *to elevate, to transcend, to surprise even himself* and I think when Common sat back and heard this after it was made, I'm sure he said *wow*.
The last two tracks are especially life affirming. This is one I'll be happy to see my son pick up when he is old enough to start raiding my music stash. Thanks Common, and as Spike would say: Your gift is our reward.

Hit: 4 Stars
You cant mention the positive side of hip hop without mentioning Common. As with any great MC that has given you substantial music, Common has always evolved. Unfortunately not many of his fans have evolved with him. Be was a good album but it felt like it was missing something. This album seems more complete than Be was. Start The Show is a great track but the hook by Kanye is kind of suspect. The People is on point and Dwele wasnt too shabby on the chorus. Common excells at storytelling in Drivin Me Wild which features Lily Allen. The Game is that vintage b-boy Common sense joint where Common shows that he is still a nasty lyricist. Im not sad that there isnt more tracks like The Game on here and its not the end of the world if he doesnt make tracks like that anymore. U, Black Maybe and Misunderstood are as enjoyable as they are soulful. Will.i.am(whose production has been sounding pretty good lately)joins in on I Want You as Common kicks it for the ladies over a thumping beat. Skip Material: Break My Heart is not bad but it doesnt really grab this reviewer and Southside featuring Kanye West stinks! Plus Kanye's high-pitched singing after the third verse sounds kind of feminine(you know that part where he goes "you have to spice it up"). Bottom Line: The verdict is in... Common's Finding Forever is one of 2007's best releases. The production was superb and Common still has what it takes to make good music. Common will continue to evolve as an MC and as a person so if you refuse to evolve with him then its not his fault. Its all on you. Standout Tracks: THE PEOPLE, DRIVIN' ME WILD, I WANT YOU, THE GAME, U, BLACK, MAYBE(my favorite), SO FAR TO GO and MISUNDERSTOOD. You didnt think that I was going to go without addressing this babbling idiot a couple of reviews down did you? Racial slurs? Comtempt for women? Disdain for police? You didnt hear this album at all did you? Just another f****t a** yokel making halfa**ed assumptions based off your irrational preconcieved notions about rap. Its obvious that you're jealous that people respect him over you but who could blame them. You're a sissy a** garbage pail kid who talks reckless behind closed doors. Nobody in their right mind respects a sniveling coward that despises people behind their backs but grins in their faces and look at when you mouth off. When nobody is around to give you the a**beating you deserve. You craven gender-bender! You spineless fruitbasket! F*** You, B**** O Reilly and all 20 of those weasels that agreed with your babbling a**! Schizophrenic F****ts!
