OCLA's TOP ALBUMS

“I have never been to much of a common fan, but i've always respected his lyrics. I've been waiting for him to do an album focused on club beats. Others have been quick to say, he didn't lyrically shine on this album, maybe he didn't i have not really analyzed it yet. However i really enjoyed the beats, and commons rymes over sicks beats = sick songs. The only full song I heard is universal mind control..and i enjoyed it. Also stop slamming down common for trying a different route. How much can he rap about social and philosophical issues, and how much albums can he do on those same funk based beats. If he did the same thing like "Forever", then you woulda said it sounds the same. 2008 has been a year of change for artists, like kanye, akon, and now common.”

“i still got to listen to it more, but it is a different album from akon. When i heard rite na na na, i was amazed wit the production, lyrically not as impressed but it was still catchy. i had we don't care months before the release, from that song i pictured what the album will sound like. A more club, and synth oriented production. Some of the songs are kinda boring..but i can't argue that his production is amazing..it was not a 5 star..cuz it was not like i thought ever song was great..so i give it a four....”
