Common - Sweet
Artist: Common
Producer: No I.D.
Album: The Dreamer, The Believer
Label: Think Common Music Inc./Warner Bros.
After keeping Common’s epically minded last single, Blue Sky, on repeat for the past few weeks I began to formulate a hypothesis about the Chi-Town emcee’s plans to make his upcoming album, The Dreamer, The Believer, an experimental, genre-busting album on the order of MBDTF. I should have known better than to think Common could so easily be figured out. As he reminds us on new single Sweet, the man can still smack a rapper in the face with a mic. Constant production companion No I.D. unleashes a beat that hits hard with just a touch of sweetness – it’s a cake filled with razor blades. On the mic Lonnie takes us back to the Resurrection days, firing off a torrent of rhymes aimed at putting any rapper who thinks Hollywood’s turned his rhyme skills soft back in their place: “How can I say this, @*#$! it I’m the greatest / I am the A-list for all these great debaters.” Honestly, it’s hard to argue with the man. I’m officially ridiculous-level excited about Dreamer/Believer, due to drop this December via Warner Bros. Until then enjoy, and remember, don’t get too Sweet.

 There is no other release on the remaining 2011 calender that has me as excited as Common's "The Dreamer, The Believer." I felt this way BEFORE I heard the new single, so its obvious that I will continue to feel this way after.

This beat bumps right here. Love the production. Common rips this track. I like how his flow switched for this joint. This is a BANGER... Z was right...

Common is one of my favorite emcees, mainly because of his consistency. Every song he releases is high caliber hip hop. Sweet is no different, great beat, great flow, and great lyrics. I'm really looking forward to his new album.

Its a cool record for Common and everything but I rather the intellectual, thought provoking Common. But I do agree with him when he say rappers are singing too much. We need to get back to hardcore rapping.
