today's must-have is 'electric circus' by . 2 years in the making; highly experimental hip-hop (think: sequel to 'stankonia'). rave reviews so far and it just came out today. i'll say more later, as my copy's waiting for me at the package center. features a song with stereolab's laetitia sadier, 2 songs with the neptunes, and many collaborations w/ the soulquarians. other guests include erykah badu (common's wife), mary j. blige, prince (yes, prince), cee-lo, jill scott, and zap mama. |

really? that sucks, i thought it was out yesterday there. for anyone put off by "hip-hop" music, you'd be interested to know that heavy musical influences on the album include psychedelic rock, new wave, and techno. very ambitious and reviews say it's pulled off expertly. ?uestlove of the soulquarians, who also happens to be the drummer and leader of the roots, says this album is the best thing he has ever been a part of, and common's best album by far. |

I agree with Jonesy. And we came in unison. |

hopefully it'll live up to the hype; i've been eagerly waiting for this album since it was promised for summer 2001. a couple songs i haven't heard but have seen labeled as instant classics are "between me, you & liberation" and "heaven somewhere". the only stinker is supposed to be "i got a right ta" (produced by the neptunes and featuring a chorus sung by pharrell) which is one of the two i've actually heard. i like it; common appropriates a sadat-x style flow over a rock guitar style neptunes beat. i think ?uesto called it "easy rider" for the hip-hop generation, which is a mental image that makes sense with the song. |

Well, let's wait and see. Nice that Neptunes back someone worth backing up for a change. Jonesy: Miracles do happen, you only have to believe. Phresch: Haha. That one's a classic. |

really that sucks is the best explaination of the new common album ive heard since i heard the album a month ago WORD - with hand gestures awol one is god |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
So, you don't like it, I take it? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
this album is fucking dope so far. it's a shame i won't get to listen to all 70+ minutes of it before my next class. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no - his second album was DOPE - after that he fell off - de la soul, tribe, roots, etc etc all fell off - i feel betrayed by hiphop - its all bullshit now well besides buck65, awol one, and sacred hoop |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh please, could you be an even more stereotypical bitter hip-hop fan? p.s. fuck white hip-hop. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hahaha - stereotypical? - nah i had my fill - ive been listening to hiphop forever and its just getting stale - needs new direction - the new indie shit is lame too - its all about the gods and the earths and the hand motions and big pants and stuff - its weird - i dont feel like i should have to dress a certain way just to go to a hiphop show w/ all these "heads"! the crowd at atmosphere was LAME - buncha corny mutherfuckers who only own their latest album and high school girls dressed like sluts - probably like a common concert dont be a racist |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
by the way - any true fan of common would own no id's album Boyeeeeeeeeeeee |
||||||||

sorry but hip-hop artists have no obligation to fit into your limited perspective of what hip-hop is. you do have my sympathy, however--it must be really sad to have such a limited spectrum of music to listen to. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no - they dont have to fit into what I like - just do something interesting you can argue that back in like 93 things could have gotten any better - souls of mischief - black sheep - artifacts - lords of the underground - de la - tribe - jesus goes on forever you could walk into a store and buy anything and chances are it would rock the block (haha) i miss those days - like a lost love sob sob seriously - its embarrassing |
||||||||

i could name 50 hip-hop producers better than No I.D. white rap for the most part is attrocious. ooh, nerdy white kids with nasally voices talking about esoteric subjects w/o a good sense of rhythm, style, or even coherent narrative. GROUNDBREAKING. you are a stereotype, like i said; it's sad that you're missing out on so much great hip-hop still being released. everyone has a favorite era, favorite style, etc., but it's only the truly ignorant who close themselves off to new development. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
its NOT NEW - its fucking r&b - im not a indie white hiphop fan - so dont think you know what i like - FUCK ANTICON - thats right - FUCK EM - do you listen to music that is avant garde? perhaps not - cause if you did you would understand (what they call) "avant hop" - i personally am not a fan but respect it cause ITS DIFFERENT - common's electric circus should be called "shit circus" (spinal tap rip off for ya) - this is wasting my time - common rules - i love mca - they're a nice label - the new roots its amazing - jay z rocks the hizzy fo shizzy - in the dizzy clizzy closet? |
||||||||

|
OH - but i neglected to add you still like (recent) dr dre - nevermind - it all makes sense now forget what i said i take it all back your right - im a walking cliche |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
as i said: ignorance abounds. keep listening to whatever, you're missing out. not gonna dignify anything further with a response. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
your right - im a walking cliche |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

to everyone with a brain: back to the topic, i've listened to about 75% of it now (i have to go to class) and it IS "off the heezy for sheezy." definitely, definitely get this album. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
your right - im a walking cliche without a brain |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

grabing this mofo at my local bestbuy TADAY! along with talib kweli's QUALITY!!! *if the house is a ROCKING don't bother KNOCKING* =0) |
||||||||

|
|
i might check out common since all his albums have cool titles....im not a big fan of hiphop aside from clouddead and some of the anticon stuff. quasimoto is good and busdriver. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
have you heard the new kweli cd? the cover for electric circus is really cool.......reminicient of st peppers =0) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well i will say upfront that this is completely different from cLOUDDEAD, anticon, or quasimoto (although madlib did do a remix of "dooinit" by common). if you can get past the differences though (just don't expect it to be like abstract hip-hop or anything comical like quasimoto or kool keith) i think you'll like it a lot. some great rhymes on this album. |

oh man this album is amazing, thanks so much titsworth.. i'm not too into most hip-hop, but the variety of songs on here combined with the amazing usage of electronics and live instruments is astounding. i can't believe this cd was only $10 at best buy, what a fucking steal. best hip-hop albums i've heard in years. thanks again titsworth for letting us know about this. |
