Common, Kanye Talk 'Be'
By Clover Hope and Houston Williams

Kanye West is notorious for unabashedly hyping himself as well as his own artists, so naturally the Chicago rapper/producer has projected Common's upcoming album Be as a classic. Meanwhile, Common has responded to critics who claim West restored his career.
"I'm telling you right now it's five mics [The Source album review rating], five stars [AllHipHop.com's rating system] across the board," West told AllHipHop.com. "Common's album will go down in history."
XXL magazine has validated West??€�s opinion and given the opus its highest rating of ??€?XXL.??€?
"On Be, Common plays poet and documentarian, showing us the triumphs and tragedies that occur in Ghetto, USA. Common??€�s wordsmith wizardry soars beyond stylistics: "It excels at photographing real life,??€? the magazine praised.
West said he produced the bulk of Be, and Detroit producer Jay-Dee worked on the remainder of the album.
"He's not going back, he's going forward," said West in reference to Common's relapse to his more aggressive side on Be. "There are songs on there that only me and Common could have done together."
While West boasted of the album's superiority, Common envisioned Be as a testament to his evolution as an MC and a slight return to his usual self.
"I don't think I could ever go back to who I was in '94 and '96," Common told AllHipHop.com. "But as you evolve you sometimes go back home, and people say that I'm going back home cause I'm doing raw hip-hop and that's where I began."
Though some critics have credited West for resuscitating Common's career, which has always been somewhat under the radar and non-mainstream, West defended his frequent song cameos as something that is a staple of Hip-Hop.
"I heard a comment [from a critic] like 'Is Kanye on every hook?' and I told Common and he said, 'I don't give a f**k ??€� I like it,'" said West. "And that's what Hip-Hop is about. We don't give a f**k and we put out the songs we like."
Concurring with West, Common said he acknowledged the mega-producer's artistic contribution and ability to draw a larger audience than Common has typically attracted.
Still, Common gave himself much of the acclaim, at the same time expressing appreciation for West's role in his musical resurgence.
"Only I truly can bring back me, however he is helping me to create music that the masses and people can enjoy and love," said Common. "I have to give credit where it is due. Kanye has been a big plus to my album and this new part of my career and that is why we are riding together."
Common also proclaimed that the process of recording with West has been reciprocal. "He has been there passionately creating, and with him I have helped him grow as a producer and it is give and take," said Common. "He has helped me create music that everybody can deal with and I wanted and needed that."
As Common prepares to release his sixth album Be, he said he's pleased that he can be himself, and he expects that people will relate to this authenticity.
"I feel like I don't have anything to cover me up so people are feeling that," said Common. "As a person you go through your evolution. But as an artist you go through that in front of everybody. I'm trying on my bad clothes in front of everybody."

Review-ul din XXL:
Music is supposed to mirror life. With 11 tracks that focus on feeling not filler, the Chicago champ formerly known as Common Sense has birthed ??€?05??€�s top LP with the impeccable Be. The album??€�s first single, the impenetrable inner-city anthem ??€?The Corner,??€? sets up the initial statement for the man born Lonnie Rashid Lynn: He??€�s neither that rapper on Resurrection not the one on Electric Circus-he??€�s evolved into a synthesis of the two. On Be, Common plays poet and documentarian, showing us the triumphs and tragedies that occur in Ghetto, USA. And with Be??€�s co-pilot, Kanye West, supplying the lion??€�s share of the score (nine of eleven tracks) by stepping up even his production game with layers of bluesy yet granite-hard compositions, joints like the jazz-fueled ??€?Real People??€? reflect Common??€�s penchant for ??€?showin @#%$??€�s lives like UPN.??€? In fact, the CD??€�s cohesive sound can be attributed to the synergy between Common and Kanye.
Common??€�s wordsmith wizardry soars beyond stylistics: It excels at photographing real life. On ??€?It??€�s Your World,??€? Comm recounts his own coming of age and the story of an aspiring songstress turned prostitute. Over soul-stirring strings and a marching drum track courtesy of J-Dilla (the producer behind the LP??€�s remaining two tracks), Common recalls, ??€?I remember in high school she had a passion to sing/Now she see herself in a casket in dreams.??€?
While label support and the times heavily influence whether great music can be crowned classic, if nothing else Common has created a flawless album. By giving us himself completely and speaking to and for us as complete people, he??€�s birthed the total package.
sunt atat de incantat incat albumul nu-mi poate aduce decat surprize neplacute.

interviu cu Common:
What is the significance of the title BE?
BE means to do without trying hard. BE is about being natural. For this album, I just wanted to create music that felt good and felt right. I wasn't trying to invent a whole new music or be Mr. Innovative, I really just dealt with what was natural, and all the music for this album was a natural feeling. It felt good and if felt like something I did before, I just let it be. BE symbollizes that, just do without trying hard. You ain't gotta try hard to be who you are.
Was it a goal to have Kanye West produce the majority of the album, or did it just work out that way?
It worked out that way. It was kind of a subconscious goal in a way. I wanted him and Jay Dee to do the album, and I didn't know who was going to do the majority of it. Kanye really took it upon himself to work hard and create. We worked a lot and he focused on this album, and our relationship and creativity just started working very well. We created something that was beautiful. He did 9 of the 11 tracks. Jay Dilla did the last two. That combination, what more could I ask for.
What prompted the decision to only have 11 tracks on the album?
I just didn't want an album that was over-doing it. I feel like people's attention spans are short anyway right now. Besides that, if you have a really good album, you don't have to put a whole lot of songs to say what you need to say. I felt that each song said what it had to say, and it completed it's story with 11 songs. A lot of the classic albums that I followed, whether it's Nas' Illmatic, D'angelo's Brown Sugar, Paid In Full or Marvin Gaye's What's Going On. They didn't have so many songs, it's just the songs there were that powerful. It was that moment.
Out of your body of work, fans were most divided by Electric Circus, how would you personally rank that amongst your albums?
I feel it was the most diverse and out-there album, I can't say it's one of the best or weakest. It got the weakest response, but that don't necessarily make it the weakest. Later on people may respond and say that was some creative stuff, we just weren't there at that time. I may have taken them too far at that time. I would say that it's still a good album to me. It wasn't one of my best if I look at it right now, but it may eventually be something that people say is very, very good. How I feel, it's still an expression of me at that time. It's hard for me to say it's one of my best, but I know this album is one of my best.
Did the response to Electric Circus put any extra pressure on this album?
I let that pressure go and felt like a new artist again. At first there was pressure because there was a lot going on in my life. Whether it was the response to Electric Circus or the breakup with Erykah (Badu), really just trying to figure out where I am in this industry right now and in this world. Looking at what's going on in the industry, where will I fit? That created a lot of hunger and focus, it was a blessing. The struggle that I went through and the response to Electric Circus, it allowed me to work harder and be more focused. To be creative and stay hungry, get to the core of who I am.
So much has changed since you made "I Used to Love H.E.R.", would you ever consider making another version to cover the path of Hip Hop?
Nah, I think "I Used to Love H.E.R." can relate to what's happening now. That's what's the beauty of real music. Good music can relate anytime. "What's Going On" could relate to right now, certain songs that Krs-One made like "Love's Gonna Get 'Cha" that can still be relative to today's life.
How do you think you've been able to obtain longevity in such an up and down industry?
I think by being myself and being hungry. Creativity and not being afraid to express wherever I am, or afraid to experiment and grow. Just me growing as an individual has allowed people to grow with me as an artist, and not just throwing me away. Really it's God more than anything, but when it's explained to the people, it's me being who I am at that time and people being able to respect that. Whether they say "I love that" or not, it's like "Damn, that dude is who he is". After a while, when somebody has your respect you allow them to be there forever.
Do you have any tour plans to go along with the album?
Yeah, I'm gonna go out on tour. I might be doing a tour with Q-Tip in June. After that I'm going out with John Legend in July. We're going to do a Good Music tour, Kanye, John Legend and myself in September. US and international at a certain point. The album is May 24th so I'll be doing promotion first. Eventually I'll be going overseas.
Will bootlegging of the album have any effect on the release?
Nah, not that I see. The Net is only but so many people. The rest will still get the album. Sometimes after people hear that it's great, they go out and get it even if they do have it on the Net. It is what it is, and fortunately too, they don't even have the whole album on the Net.
What sort of feedback did you receive after performing "The Food" on Chapelle's Show?
People were like, "Yo, we love that song "The Food", I hope you come like that on the album. That's real hip hop and we've been waiting for that". Saying they feel that in their stomach. That was great response, people were saying I was back, those things.
What's the state of Hip Hop in Chicago in your opinion?
Hip Hop is flourishing in Chicago. Kanye opened a lot of doors and brought a lot artists and people together. Hip Hop is looking so bright right now, just in general. Us Chicago artists, I think we're bringing some soul and bringing something new to it that's timeless. We've been working hard and it's looking good. There's so many talented artists from Kanye, to myself, Twista, No ID is a producer that's incredible, Dug Infinite, GLC who's coming out on Good Music. We got a lot of artists. Rhymefest. There's some talent there.
Anything else you'd like to add?
May 24th, thank ya'll for support man, and I'm glad to be here.

Arigo..10x pt minunatul gest si anume cel de a pune la dl. albumul!l'am luat zilele astea, l'am ask. ...pe mine cel putin Nu m'a dezamagit !!!...e un album bun, ce surprinde esenta artistului Common...piesele sunt bine lucrate, iar avandu'l ca producator pe Kanye nu putea sa iasa decat ceva f bun & de calitate!. . .nu vreau sa compar albumul cu anterioarele, in special cu Electric Circus, pt k albumul e bun pt ceea ce scena hh este in momentul de fata!suntem in 2005..oamenii se schimba, evolueaza(nu toti ..doar unii)...nu 'i poti cere unui om sa ramana neschimbat pt k in el exista dorinta de a creste, evolua ..anyway....hai k nu mai lungesk vorba....it's DOPE...hope y'all enjoy!

cat despre
...
cat despre
common a incercat sa faca acest lucru pe electric circus. s-a dus foarte tare in extreme... chiar el a recunoscut ca E.C. a fost influentat de tanti badu, lasand sa se inteleaga ca n-au fost chiar mintea si sulfetul sau in acel album. inca de cand a anuntat B.E.-ul, common a spus ca LP-ul va fi o intoarcere la esenta, la ceea ce asteapta lumea de la el si la ceea ce este el de fapt. si nu cred ca a mintit pe nimeni cand a afirmat asta.nu 'i poti cere unui om sa ramana neschimbat pt k in el exista dorinta de a creste, evolua ..

Common speaks bout album leaks!-ALLHHNEWS!
Chicago MC Common recently downplayed the proliferation of bootleg reproductions of his much-anticipated upcoming album Be, stating that he wasn't too bothered by the album leaks.
"People ain't got all the songs, so I ain't trippin'. They don't even have the whole album yet," Common said in a statement.
The rapper is currently working on new material including a remix of his single "Corners" featuring Mos Def and Scarface.
Common has also been in the studio contributing to fellow Chicago rapper/producer Kanye West's upcoming sophomore release Late Registration.
West, who produced much of Be, has projected Common's album as a classic.
Be is scheduled to drop on May 24.
In related news, Common is scheduled to perform on Friday (April 22) at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia and at Columbia University in New York City on April 30.
