"okay. bottom line. if you're thinking about buying this cd - go for it. it rules. common's beats are awesome, and it about time we had a rapper rappin about somethin' real. i know common is not the only rapper out there with lyrics that make good sense (mos def, dead prez, talib kweli come to mind), but common's songs are something truly special. i know you're probably getting tired of "the light", but if you listen to that song carefully you can't tell me its not a true work of art. i could go on for hours about this masterpiece, but i will stop at this: this is the YEARS BEST cd. GO BUY IT.oh and if you like it,check out "black on both sides" by mos def as well."
BUY IT

"This is definately a must-have...It's rap with meaning and if you like rap, but sometimes find swearing offfensive, this is for you. Common has smart lyrics and awesome beats. It's sort of a cross between A Tribe Called Quest and Timbaland and Magoo. This is mellow but upbeat at the same time."
