Common "The Dreamer/The Believer" Album Review

The Dreamer/The Believer

TOP LYRICS

"I know your young and you gotta live your life ma
I thought it was the right time for me to wife ya
I must confess, I miss the days of you laying on my chest
So confusing losing love, I'm saying god bless
Who do it better, we used to move together
Now we not together, is this our new forever?"

"Lovin' I Lost"

"Daylight beams, night life schemes
This is my inception, I’m writing my dreams
Immortal view of a star doing what I’m born to do
I see the blue sky, see the Lord's coming through"

"Blue Sky"

"Had explicit experiences I shouldn't mention
For me, getting women turned from sport to addiction
Powerful women playing the roles of submission
Lawyers on leashes, congress, women inflictin"

"Ghetto Dreams"

In the meantime, while I'm waiting to feast with family on this splendid Christmas Day, I figure I would review Common's The Dreamer/The Believer which released 12/20 in stores. I waited until today to hear the whole CD (the physical copy), as it was one of my most anticipated albums of the year...

Common "Raw (How You Like It)"

This is the last song I'm posting from the Common album releasing December 20th. I can't wait to make that purchase when it comes out.

"Raw (How You Like It)" = FIRE

Common (feat. John Legend) "The Believer"

The days are counting down until his LP releases...meanwhile Common releases another meaningful track, and you can tell how genuine of an artist he is, along with Mr. Legend. Great soulful track. 


"The Believer" = FIRE

Common "Celebrate"

Great new song from his upcoming CD.


"Celebrate" = FIRE

Common "Blue Sky"

Common makes his return! Filthy song (and cover art) put out by Common as I would expect nothing else. "Blue Sky" is my favorite song I've listened to this week because the instrumental and lyrics are top notch. Listening to it at 2 a.m. last night while finishing a project was a musical blessing in disguise. His word play is off the hook! 

P.S. (My favorite producer in the game right now made this song, NO I.D.)

"Daylight beams, nightlife schemes, this is my Inception I'm writin my dreams"

SIZZLE SCORE = FIRE
