It was very exploratory, especially so for a rap album released in 2002, containing developments - some of which soared, some of which sank - that few longtime followers could have foreseen. Listeners either felt Common was picking up fresh, new inspirations, or that he was just being distracted by a whole lot of ill-fitting nonsense. With Be, it seems the MC has realized that not every album that's sprawling and eclectic is as good as Electric Ladyland or Songs in the Key of Life. More notably, he might've been struck with the fact that a high percentage of excellent albums are around 40 minutes in length and are built on a unified sound. Be is highly concentrated, containing 11 songs and involving two producers and a small number of guests. It's a 180 degree turn from Electric Circus, and in a bizarre way it's both a progression and a back-to-basics move. Kanye West and Dilla are key to the album's steadiness, rooting the sound in '70s soul and soul-jazz. That's no shakeup, but the two producers deserve some form of award for stringing together a consistent sequence of productions that is never monotonous, dull, or all that flashy. Even lead single "The Corner," heard well before Be's release, falls into the fabric of the album on first listen, as if that were where it belonged all along. Lyrically, Common comes back down to Earth - the narratives are sharp as ever, the gripes are more like observations than screeds, and the eccentricities need to be teased out rather than swatted away. Be isn't likely to be referred to by anyone as groundbreaking, but it's one of Common's best, and it's also one of the most tightly constructed albums of any form within recent memory Reissue of Common's 2005 LPSTERLING is machine stamped in the runouts. All other text is etched."Be" is the critically acclaimed sixth studio album by American rapper Common, released on LP format by Geffen Records. This album marks a significant moment in Common's career, featuring soulful production primarily handled by Kanye West and contributions from J Dilla. "Be" is celebrated for its introspective lyrics and smooth blend of hip-hop with jazz influences, showcasing tracks like "The Corner," "Go!," and "Faithful." The record received widespread praise upon release in 2005, earning multiple Grammy nominations and solidifying Common?s reputation as one of hip-hop?s most thoughtful lyricists. As an artist, Common has consistently pushed boundaries since his debut in the early '90s, winning both Grammy Awards and critical acclaim for albums such as "Like Water for Chocolate." Geffen Records, the label behind this release, is renowned for supporting innovative artists across genres?from rock legends to groundbreaking hip-hop acts?making it a trusted name in music history. | | | No. of tracks: |
