Vote for which album you think is Common's best album and give a reason why you voted for that album.
Voting ends tomorrow or if one album is a landslide away from the others.

BeWatch some ? vote for electric circus

ResurrectionThis album has always been special to me.. A top 5 in hip hop in my humble opinion
-
ResurrectionResurrection hits my soul still play this album
-
BeCommon needs to get with Ye on every album from hence forth. BE/Finding Forever were beautiful.
-
Nobody's SmilingI picked the wrong one. Be should take the top spot. I chilled with my uncle and cuz playing this album drinking having a good time.

...is there a better track by Common? -
BeOne day it'll all make sense made me a fan
Like Water for Chocolate was the best album of 2000
BE is a masterpiece... -
BeAs close as you can get to a flawless album. Not many have one like this.
-
BeBe. Easily.
-
BeResurrection is really close for me too
I think Common was more natural and in control on Be though
He comes off as a more polished MC overall -
-
One Day It'll All Make SenseOne day it'll all make sense is my favorite album by him. Hands down. He was styling on that album. And the soulful songs were just so thought provoking like this.

BeBE was so fire that I still bump this ? on the way to work
-
BeBE made me seriously take a look at the rap game n wonder y so many dudes was basically bullshitting...i couldnt really listen to much else after that came out...intro and last song the best ever
-
BeBe.
When Be dropped i listened to it everyday for months. No exaggeration. -
Like Water for ChocolateI'm an Afro-Beat fan so "Like Water For Chocolate" started off perfect for me and stayed in that mode in and out of the project. I really liked the way the album flowed and the different types of tracks throughout the project. (R.I.P. J Dilla)
"Be" was a good album but I feel "Finding Forever" is better than that. Common is one of my favorite artist of all time and it is because the guy is pretty consistent even while switching things up from time to time.
(1) Like Water for Chocolate
(2) One Day It'll All Make Sense
(3) Resurrection
(4) Finding Forever
(5) The Dreamer/The Believer

When I listen to be I can hear common dumbing down. The beats were polished and more palatable but his rhymes felt light.
"At times my going forward feels like retreat
As I be writing rhyme after rhyme and throw away beats"
Kanye is the best thing and worst thing to happen to commons career
I feel you on both "One day it'll all make sense" & "Like Water for Chocolate" it's hard to pick between those 2 for me also.
"BE" was a good album but it was too short and there are only 2 songs I really loved on it as opposed to the albums I felt were a bit better -
Resurrection? at the amount of votes for BE compared to Resurrection. ? is wild.
-
BeI'm going with BE. It's the album where Common balanced entertainment (thanks to Kanye) along with technical abilities. I still play that album quite often.
Off note. Ya'll ever notice on It's Your World where the kids are talking about what they want to be that one dumb kid said "a duck", lmfao -
Like Water for ChocolateI was gonna go resurrection but it's like water for chocolate that was a great album.
I knew everyone would vote for Be. I been listenin to common way to long to call that his best. I'd probably have it 3rd or 4th because one day it all makes sense is a great album too. -
Like Water for ChocolateBe probably is the better album but I enjoyed Like Water For Chocolate far more.
-
Like Water for ChocolateI voted for the wrong ? album
