finally, a rap album with non-offensive lyrics
this guy has some depth
that much is obvious simply by the presence of Stevie Wonder in the below track
a rapper but not like your beatz rappers
a lot of jazzy music on the album
one of the few rap albums that will go in my deserving of more listens category

single

[CRAZY-HORSE]

ive noticed with some of my listens of rap this year that the ones who aren't foul mouthed and clichéd tend to have a "jazzy" feel happening in their music...
which says to me that rap is evolving and "jazz" has evolved once again.

just started listening to the new Metallica one on Spotify...apart from that lead off single which was terrible, its sounding pretty good to me so far.

[Music Head]

thinking that will come in at #1 here
any prediction?

[CRAZY-HORSE]

Im thinking #2 , Bruno will be #1 all over the world next week IMO

Cool, I'll check this album out. I like Common.

I have always enjoyed Common...sophisticated music that enhances hip hop & rap! Good to see he has returned!
