Common: Finding Forever

[mannybolone]

I heard this album. Liked it. Quite a bit. Wasn't a huge fan of "Be". Thought "Finding Forever" was stronger.Then I see this:And I'm...I'm...speechless. This makes the Lupe Fiasco cover look like "Straight Outta Compton."By the way, Rick James' ghost called......he wants his coif back.

Treacherous.

Now, now, let's not get carried away--I know the Common cover is what's new and hot, but the Lupe Fiasco joint is an all-time contender.

I love clowning Common, but I actually liked Be.

I didn't download it. I sat in the office with Common's A&R - only way I could listen to it in time to write a review. I'm a little surprised this album cover met with the A&R's approval.

better than most hip-hop that came out that year. then again that isn't saying much...

 

[deej]

dude's gotten the oprah approval, he is getting ready to move some serious units on this one

the only song i still listen to off Be is the dilla track

 

[constantreps]

Man, it's funny how I went from a "Common's on it??? Hell yeah, I'll buy it" type of fan to a "Common's on it??? Let me hear it first" and didn't really realize it. On the same note, I've kind of gone that opposite route for Kardinal Offishall and Dave Ghetto. Don't ask me why, I can't explain.

How so?

How so?
Uh, it's really ugly?

"Be" was simple.

"Electric Circus" was eclectic but at least ambitious.

"Finding Forever"? A trainwreck of bad ideas.

yes this is by far one of the worst covers I have ever seen. Up there with LadyBug's solo cover.

This shit makes the No Limit covers look amazing.

Let's no get crazy now.

That's one some whole NOTHER level of unbelieavable badness.

The cover was the only good thing about that album... I thought the Sergeant Pepper's/Midnight Marauders/Maze homage was pretty clever.
