Common - Be

Electric Circus cost and won Common some fans. 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. 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. 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. Released May 24, 2005 on G.O.O.D. Music/Geffen Records, the album peaked at #2 on the Billboard 200 chart and #1 on the Top R&B/Hip Hop Albums and was certified gold by RIAA.
