Even lead single "The Corner," heard well before Be's release, falls into the fabric of the album on first listen, as if that were where it belonged all along. I really was into the old Common stuff such as Like Water For Chocolate, but when Electric Circus was released, I was beginning to think Common was headed in the direction that other artists like the Black Eyed Peas were heading.

Listeners either felt Common was picking up fresh, new inspirations, or that he was just being distracted by a whole lot of ill-fitting nonsense. It's a 180 degree turn from Electric Circus, and in a bizarre way it's both a progression and a back-to-basics move.Music Direct reserves the right to change the terms of this promotion or discontinue this offer at any time.

There was something special about this album soon as I heard especially by the time you get to "Faithful" and "Testify". Be isn't likely to be referred to by anyone as groundbreaking, but it's one of Common's best, and it's also one of the most tightly constructed albums of any form within recent memory.The former sees him talking tender over a sinuous J Dilla beat that layers airy Marvin Gaye vocal samples atop each other to sublime effect. With no hook and a cold Chi-town setting where "drunk nights get remembered more than sober ones," Be's intro is inviting, stern, buoyant, and level-headed all at once, establishing a theme of restrained optimism.
