Die Instrumentals erstrecken sich von gut bis göttlich, Common ist eh wieder eine Klasse für sich, die nur die wenigsten erreichen. Misunderstood (produced by Devo Springsteen)ġ2. 'Finding Forever' ist für mich noch besser als 'Be', da abwechslungsreicher und vielleicht auch etwas professioneller. Break My Heart (produced by Kanye West)ĩ. D'Angelo) (produced by J Dilla different verses from the version on J Dilla's album The Shining)Ĩ. Start the Show (produced by Kanye West)ĥ. Will definitely be buying this when it comes out.Ģ. This album was intended as a tribute to J.Dilla and a fitting tribute it is.

Great production once again from Kanye and surprisingly one of the stand-out tracks is "Drivin' Me Wild" featuring Lily Allen, as well as obviously the first single "The People" and also "Black Maybe". Mainstream hip hop is very lacking at the moment but with Pharoahe Monch's album out just a few weeks back, Common's coming up and Kanye's "Graduation" album out next month things are definitely looking up.Īnyway just listened to Finding Forever and yes it's as good as I was expecting, better than "Be" in my opinion, which became a little bit too soulful, this album sees Common returning to what he does best and that his some great rapping. Been looking forward to this for ages, Common never seems to disappoint and the singles from this album "The People" and "The Game" are great hip hop tracks, which have just made me want this album even more. Kanye West described the recording sessions as "a real easy environment".This is out on the 31st of this month. Most of the album was recorded while he was filming his roles in American Gangster and Smokin' Aces. Common began working on the album in early 2006, recording it throughout the United States, New Zealand, Australia, Hawaii, and Spain with Kanye West. The album debuted at the #1 on the Billboard 200, becoming Common's first chart-topper. Like Common's previous album, Be (2005), Finding Forever is primarily produced by Kanye West. Finding Forever is the seventh studio album by Common, released on Jon GOOD Music and Geffen Records. Kanye West described the recording sessions as "a real easy environment".
