In Retrospective: Common - BE
Can we go back to 2005, shall we?
Common released his sixth album, "BE" in May 2005 under Kanye West's record label, GOOD Music. Kanye basically revived Common's career with this album. The production on BE is nothing short of excellent. It brought a soulful, poetic feel to the mainstream. This album is a classic. Besides Late Registration, this is Kanye West's best work as a producer.
BE did fairly well selling just about 800,000 copies collectively and received 4 Grammy nominations. XXL magazine even gave it a perfect rating. I speak for most people when I say that this is Common's best album to date.
