Oh yeah this is exactly what we needed. I adore this album, to me it encapsulates the essence of hip hop as a whole, and especially of the 2000s. Common is a phenomal mc, and of course the Kanye production needs no introduction. Together, they created an album that’s always enjoyable and inspiring. Some of my favorites have to be the intro, GO!, faithful, love is, and the fantastic outro. By the way, I absolutely agree that “Be” is the answer to “Why are we here”. You explained it pretty well at the start.

Common really is an "ahead of their time" artist. He got clowned on so hard for being a conscious rapper talking about things a lot of people beg to hear more of in rap and hip-hop as time went on. While I wouldn't say he's top 10 he's an amazing underrated artist that helped pave the way for a lot of amazing contemporary artists.

Resurrection is a landmark record of 90s hip hop, and Like Water for Chocolate is a sprawling magnum opus produced almost entirely by J Dilla. The man is goated, probably even before he dropped Be.

How you feel about “gangster rap” is how a lot of us used to feel. Especially how right after preceded the bling era which (very fun in its own right) was just a lot of unlyrical introspective club music that seemed to be taking over hip hop. In 2007 Album called Below the Heavens by Blu and Exile came out which was a breath of fresh air because it was a west coast young kid who was arguably the most introspective rapper to come out at the time but wasn’t removed from street life and could still spit. It was also at the beginning of the blog era which is the reason hip hop review and discussion channels like Dead End Hip Hop n Fantano exist.

Personally, my favorite Kanye produced album outside of his own discography. You know this album will take you on a special journey just after hearing the first few seconds of Be (Intro) which is easily one of the best openers in hip-hop history. Common's elite and deep yet easy to understand lyricism, Kanye at the peak of his soul sampling era and Dilla's amazing contributions as well make up for a classic album that will live on forever. This album feels like acceptance, love and positivity yet it never fails to be real and show the truth of the matter with life not always being perfect even though you just wish to 'Be'.

I listen to that whole song every once in a while to remind myself of what I'd like to work towards, especially when living in this odd world can twist your goals. There is no way someone can be all of the things he listed, but all we can really do is be the best person we can possibly be. That struggle is what I find so charming. Easily my favorite Hip Hop song of all time.

That "Be" poem at the end, is just listing off possibilities of what you can be. Saying that can BE these things if you want to. He's not saying that you need to be all off these things at once. The biggest take away from it is to be you. One thing that isn't talked about in the black community, is that we are constantly pressured to be something that we don't want to be. The sad thing is that, at this point it mainly comes from within by members of our own community. If you want to be something different, you get called "corny" or people will say that "you're trying to act like a white person." You'll even get it from people outside of the race. They'll say things like "you're one of the good ones," or "you speak so well." Don't get me wrong, it happens to everyone is all walks of life, but it's really strong in the black community, in the culture. So that's kind of that poem in a nutshell. It's not saying, "be perfect," it's saying "be you and who you want to be" without the pressure of other people telling you who to be. That's why it starts out with the children saying what they want to be when they grow up. The innocence of children and the dreams you once held before being beaten down by your peers, society and the world.

And LORD that classic Ye production... it just hits the soul different

i think pops outro on the final track is not meant to be him telling people what they should be, it's just him giving examples of all the things you can be if you're passionate about it, not what expectations you're supposed to live up to, but also that at the end of the day if you want to, you can just BE.

I remember hearing this riding around high af, fresh outta high school, high as a cloud and this made everyone stay quite for the entire time.

You should check out the studio version of “The Food” that was released as a single, and then find the video of the live performance from ‘Chappelle’s Show’ that ended up being the album version
