Interesting comparison.
Finding forever is the weakest of the 4.
Be is flawless tho...
Be>KD2>>>>>>>>>>>KD1>>>Finding Forever
lol Be is not better than KD2. But maybe y'all just hold that era of Common in higher esteem than me. He has like three albums I like better than Be.
A few thoughts after a few days of listening
How is Nas still this good?
storytelling and concept tracks in 2021 still at an elite level. 3 verse tracks in 2021? HOW NAS!?
-This album came out of nowhere and Nas and Hitboy delivered. The production is better than any of the projects hitboy did last year (Bennys BOP included). It’s like a bunch of “The Cure” level beats spread out all here. Very impressed by the chemistry.
-Nas sounds inspired and motivated lyrically and his flow has sharpened. I was impress how he sounded on “27 summers” but he sounds even more fluid on “Pressure”, “40th”,”Rare”, “EPMD2” and “Compsure”. We got a lot of vintage Nas on here.
-Em needs to learn less is more sometimes. Second half of his verse was salvageable.
-Ms Hill came through and crushed the buildings
-HITBOY gave Nas a run for his money on “Composure”
-Yea didn’t think it would be possible but Nas might have topped Life Is Good.

plus it could also be a double entendre on Nas part because Cole's basketball career was short lived
nas would have too much ammunition on him basically being his son, its like if Toni Braxton dissed Anita Baker...prob did get pissed that Cole had that stan song about Nas and then flipped on him over what Kelis said

I think Common best album is Like Water For Chocolate. I wanna hear your critique of Be tho lol, thats literally an album with 0 flaws. 0 skips. Finding Forever just felt like a less inspired version of Be. Still a good album nonetheless
KD2 is an instant classic...but we just gonna leapfrog Be so easily tho...

Agree pretty much I think Nas was sharper on LIG but I can't disagree with anyone who thinks KD2 is better.A few thoughts after a few days of listening

Nope. A person on this site actually leaked that.Maybe the unreleased 2pac diss headlines a few weeks ago were pushed by Nas' camp

Nas too chill now to have an actual battle but would be fascinating to see a vet against someone at the height of their career. Nas of course would wash Cole and I’m certain Cole knows he doesn’t want to go up against Nas but would be cool to see.

I don't have any critique of Be. It's dope front to back. But on some emcee shyt I don't think it's as interesting or creative as his 2nd, 3rd and 4th album.
Correct, but for it to get all the headlines in the blogs... could've been done to build some hype around the topic

Its the best production Hit Boy has ever done BUT you gotta give props to the work he did on Big Sean’s album. No diss to Sean whatsoever but if you throw Cole, Kendrick, or Krit on those beats you have a 5 mic-er
