the roots and kweli albums are shitty hip hop records.
the common album doesn't even pretend to be a rap record. it's a 'music' album.
rhyming over roy ayers inspired, stereolab cyphened, dr buzzard's original savannah band lifted, jimi hendrix miming instrumentals does not a rap album make.
fuck, limp bizkit and red hot chili peppers would be rap music.
electric circus is NOT common's best rap album.
it's his best album.
his lyrical zenith on an album was one day (specifically hungry), production wise was resurrection.
like water for coffeehouse chicks and white dudes was soft as shit outside of like 3 tracks.
electric circus is fresh, even though it's derivative if you know the obvious influences.
i repeat.
the roots album is trash. the kweli album is half trash.
same fam or not.
i mean, i look better than my uncle, and we're still family.
