"Universal Mind Control" grew on me after a while, but I can't deny that I want Common back on that original, classic hip hop like "Be" & "Finding Forever". I even hope to hear some "One Day It'll All Make Sense" & "Resurrection" style records too. Common is the positive voice of our hip hop generation. When you think of the actual meaning of rap "Rhythm And Poetry" or "Rhythmic African Poetry", Common still embodies that even in 2009's new world of Urban Music. I'm really looking forward to the return to the soulful production. Finding Forever really was a sonic work of art. Plus, we need that hope and inspiration back in hip hop. I'm all for the fun records and eclectic loner records and what not, but we will always need that soul inspiration as a culture to bring up through. I have no doubt that Common will deliver that.
