Is it just me or does Common’s music just seem….. bland now?

Neo Soul and backpackers are just as scumbaggish as they ones they claim to hate… now I see why Nas dissed that genre and called out The Roots.


- Jaguar Wright was a Thot for Talib and The Roots and now she’s bitter

- Jill Scott was out here being Lizzo behind closed doors and having a affinity for swallowing dikk like a Chocolate Eclair

- Talib was working with Gucci Mane

- Mos Def out here simping up strippers

- Erykah Badu was out here getting preggo by different rappers and in the process they lost their powers.

• Andre started wearing Kilts and dressing weird.


- Questlove became a cuck

• Common went from wearing baggy pants to holding up a sign in the Come Closer video . DOC turned out fine


• Jay Electronica started dating a Rothschild

I'm a Soulquarian head, https://www.thecoli.com/threads/the-soulquarians-appreciation-thread.49851/ , but the listing is funny as shiit :mjlol:

They did what they could, human frailties and tragic flaws and all

They sparked a dope sub-genre and still making decent to great music today. I couldn't imagine mid-late 90s/early 2000s hip and R&B without this movement in both genres ... :salute:

This X 1000!!

I don't ever hear anyone big up One Day It'll All Make Sense. That's the album that had him in my top 5 for most of the late 90s. Com was an absolute beast of an MC. Ironic he was beefin with Ice Cube, because I got him, Cube, and Prodigy as the 3 biggest fall offs in hip-hop history. 3 GOATS who just fell off a damn cliff. But Com was strange becsuse he never lost his skill, his music just became straight garbage. ONE Day was the last Common album I felt all the way through and I haven't really given him the time of day in almost a quarter century now.

Damn!

I never thought about it that way. But those MIGHT actually be the three biggest fall offs!

And it's the same with me. One Day was the last Common album, where he seemed genuinely himself.
