Experimental at its finest

"This Album breaks the barrier of mixing Hiphop with Jazz, Funk, Soul, and acid rock elements. Common has outdone himself on this one. I picked this up and when I played it i did not expect this one bit. Songs like I am Music take you back to the early harlem jazz scene with the trumpet and piano playing. Come Close is just the best, anyone who will listen to this will sit back and think about the lyrics. I would recommend this to anyone who is into real music and really into Jazz/hiphop fusion."
Unusually Different, Refreshing, Very Creative

"Common has done an exceptional job delivering high-quality music and moving the traditional boundaries of Hip Hop. I put this album selection among, Mos Def - "Black on Both Sides", The Roots - "Things Fall Apart" and other true Hip Hop classics."
