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

Ye helped him when Ye was still a good producer but Ye didn’t even produce Common’s best album
One Day It’ll Make Sense > Be
If you listen to THIS and think “bland” then you are a scion of Satan

It’s not that it’s bad and Lord knows it’s better than what most of these younger rappers make these days but when you compare it to Common’s album One Day It’ll Make Sense and Life Water For Chocolate, it’s pale in comparison

Funny how Common was beefing with Cube back in the days and then he became the same Ice Cube aka choosing Hollywood films (mostly mediocre) over his rapping. Both him and Cube lost their passion in rapping soon as them Hollywood checks came in and never made a truly great album again.
Bro was legit for like 15 years and then he was like "fukk it, I wanna do some Kung Fu shyt with Keanu Reeves"
There are plenty of examples where rappers did movies but still continued making great music, like Ice-T, LL Cool J, etc. but Common? You compare Be that came out in 2005 and then Universal Mind Control that came out three years later....

yeah, but Common is in his 50s now and was in his 20s back then.

True
The thing is, he was even rhyming like this back when he dropped Finding Forever in 2007 and he was 35 then
LL just dropped his best album in 25 years at 56, 40 years into his career, and he hasn't been hurting for bread since 16.

He sounds like an AI version of himself.

Actually it's his best album in 22 years. 10 was a solid album. Common just also dropped his best album in a while, but not 22 years. Even though this is LL's best album in since 2002, and it's a good album, it's still not better than Mr Smith, BAD, or Mama Said Knock you out. All albums in his 20s.
It's better than 10.
The point is age isn't an excuse. LL went and found some hunger.

to be honest I thought Common held that album better than Pete
I can't be mad at this. Where is the Straighten It Out type stuff? The tracks were low energy, so Common was low energy.to be honest I thought Common held that album better than Pete
