![]() Only peaking at#70 on the Billboard Top R&B/Hip Hop charts and selling well under platinum standards, this album was underappreciated until Common had officially proved himself as one of the greats. Along with the lack of any “big name” features, that proved that this album was the beginning of a bright and illustrious career.Ĭommercially and critically, the project was slept on. In no way could the instrumental outshine anything Common was saying, creating a full album. The simple production from his four-headed beat machine of No ID, Twilite Tone, and The Beatnuts was the perfect alley-oop for Common to showcase his lyrical prowess. His unique status brought him a record deal and the ability to take his out-of-pocket flow and poetic wordplay to the mainstream. It was Common’s isolation and hunger that drove this project to be as prolific as it is. After winning the title of ‘Unsigned Hype’ from The Source Magazine, Common quickly rose to the ranks of new artists.
