Common – Celebrate (produced by No I.D.).
Though it’s not the hardest cut we’ve heard from Common’s gangster-tinged The Dreamer, The Believer, “Celebrate” is the best one yet. The cheery exterior belies a ignorant core and Common sounds more comfortable than he does on “Sweet” or “Ghetto Dreams” (listen to both after the break). And he raps better than he has in a long time. Good times.
