[Rakim Allah]

pete rock came on national TV with pajamas

And “ecstatic” like Mike on Love Connection, friend.

 

[Tribal Outkast]

Damn that’s a big look for them

 

[TrifeGod]

Now this is musicI got a lot to check out in my backlog

 

[I'm Blackman]

I'm about 5 songs in and this is very dope.

Production is amazing and com still sharp.

 

[Nostalgic]

Seems like Common's website was updated but I saw earlier he'll be hittin up Atlanta in September, I'm definitely going to that joint.

I love when a sample with a singer singing a different language gets reinterpreted by the Rapper and listener but still fits.

Fortunate sample says a água mais pura da fonte which translates to the purest water from the spring.

 

[Ziggiy]

Seems like Common's website was updated but I saw earlier he'll be hittin up Atlanta in September, I'm definitely going to that joint.

I don’t see anything on ticketmaster or his website regarding an atlanta show

[patscorpio]

this album so far is fire...ive been vibing it as ive been running around in my car..def passed the car test...i have 4 more tracks left..my favorite track so far on this is this man ..pete rock got in his bag and common was in a zone

 

[-Quikness-]

Grown man hip hop. What an album made from 2 veterans should sound like in 2024. Common never lost a step after all these years, it’s wonderful to listen to, kinda album I needed right now, kinda album the world needed imo

Edit : cop the physical and support real music

 

[Why-Fi]

without reservation I sit nikkas down like a maitre d

 

[Kiyoshi-Dono]

A little too long for my adhd
But definitely a solid album

 

[mson]

Free show Sunday for those in the tri-state area.

At the show right now.

I fux with Pete Rock, but it was him in interviews that started the whole "IWW is a pop record" bullshyt 28 years ago. He was mad cuz he didn't have placements on the album and stated something like that in an interview. I never saw IWW as a pop record, but a lot of people ran with that bs statement.

I think it’s a personality situation

Pete seems like a a$$hole

Same with 9th wonder


It’s the only reason I can think of why nas don’t go to them for beats


Because damn with what Pete been doing since illmatic


Nas could have had way more classics with some of those beats

 

[ajnapoleon]

Pete Rock truly one of the GOATs
He might be an a$$hole on social media with his tinfoil hat shyt or maybe even in real life he’s an a$$hole I don’t know.
But one thing we do know is PR makes beautiful beats, the layers are
There’s a reason Dilla looked up to this man and to see him making beats at this level still is incredible.

I also love the signature Pete Rock 30 second outros he blessed us with on most of these tracks. Brings me back to when I’d listen to any PR and CL album and even when you know the verses are done and song is coming to a close, you don’t skip to the next track. You let that shyt ride out bc you know you might get blessed with a dope beat and you don’t want to miss it. Then some 30 second outro comes on that you wish lasted 3 minutes so you and your boys can freestyle over it

It’s a album out there with flee lord that says produced by Pete rock

But to me it seems like Pete gave him some beats some throw aways

Pete voice not on it











I was super excited for it then




I’m a Pete rock fan for real so hearing the other stuff he did had me like wtf for this one


I’m loving this common and Pete album
