Common's CD Is Not That Hot To Me

I listened to his new release today and I really didn't go for the production. It sounds like "juiced up" R&B. (except for "Corners") His lyrics are superb, though.
I think his best CD's were...

(1) "Ressurection"
(2) "Like Water..."
(3) "Can I Borrow A Dollar"

Those selections captured an ultimate hip hop vibe.

Now I know we all grow in some form or fashion and this is pure evidence of Common's growth, but I miss those earlier releases.

*takes joe to the alley behind the bar*

*pimp slaps joe*

*grabs him by his collar*

*slowly, sadly, angrily says to him.........*

"you broke my heaaht, joey, you broke my heaaht"

*punches joe repeatedly in the mouth, throws him into a bunch of trash cans*
*kicks joe repeatedly in the ribs*
*puts joe in the trunk*

*grabs some heavy chains and a few bricks*
*drives to the peer*
* punches joey a few more times. breaks out the crowbar, breaks joey's elbow and knee joints, makes sure he's still alive*
*wraps joey in chains and ties the bricks to him, drops him in the peer*

*drives off bumping "Love Is......." very loudly, singing along*

THE END

I was highly disappointed bwith Common's new release. I thought that being under the Kanye G.O.O.D. umbrella would've allowed him to explore creative avenues that have yet to be traveled. Sure it's better than Electric Circus but that's not sayin' much.
