Common Respect Thread -
15 Years Ago Today, the world received it's 1st album from Mr. West's "Good Music" label. And live up to the brand, it most certainly did
"Be" is a masterwork & always one of the first to come to mine when I think of cohesion start to finish.

Seeing Common & Ye on the Dave Chappelle Show as a kid is one of my most favorite childhood memories. Right up there with watching Mos Def on Def Poetry Jam
Peep that sh*t on youtube or cop the Chappelle Show, if you haven't already !

I grew up in St Louis, MO, in the 90's, a mere 4 1/2 hr drive from Chicago and let me tell ya'll: In the Midwest? Common was That Dude.
It's a testament to how STACKED 90's HH was that Com wasn't in the convo from the start, because Hip Hop was N.Y /LA centric at the time

Make No Mistake:
Common is one of the GOATs
Along with No I.D, Com Godfathered Chicago Hip Hop
I've heard clowns say "Kanye made Common", because of "Be"
Common brought Ye into the game, & Ye returned the favor once he blew.
Just like Ye use to open for Talib Kweli

If you're a Kanye West fan, & you're not up on Common & Talib Kweli ???
You're severely missing out, because they put the battery in Kanye's back.
And both Talib & Common are still making great albums to this DAY !!

Com paved the way not only for Ye, but also for:
