17. Be - Common
It only makes sense to follow a Kanye album with a Kanye-produced album.
After the unsuccessful "Electric Circus", Common must have felt he had to follow-up with a more mainstream effort. He did exactly that by putting Ye on-board. Common has always had sophisticated lyrics but the stand-out feature of "Be" is definitely the production. Every single beat on here shines.
Favorite lyric:
Quote:
'Testify'
He stated, he was guilty on all charges
She's shaking looking like she took it the hardest
A spin artist, she brought her face up laughing
That's when the prosecutor realized what happened
All that speaking her mind testifying and crying
When this bitch did the crime
