Be (Special Edition/Parental Advisory) [PA] - Common

...a tune about amibitions and be proactive in doing what is needed to aspire to them. With so many great singles here, it has to be a killer, and it most definately is. **Five Stars** 4. "Faithful" This one may be familar to you as it was featured at the end of the video for one of the big singles, and ended tup being the final one too. In it, you get Common with some thought-provoking words after being inspired by the thought of God being female, ...
...I'm sure that this will be seen as one of the best tracks off the album, and with its amazing production by 'Ye, you would have to say its true as he always finds the right samples for his work.

...Here's the tracklist quickly: 1. Be (Intro) 2. The Corner 3. Go! 4. Faithful 5. Testify 6. Love Is... 7. Chi City 8. The Food (Live) 9. Real People 10. They Say... 11. It's Your World (Part 1 & 2) Track 1: Be (Intro)- This intro has got to be one of the best intros i've heard on a cd, honestly. It starts off with a bass playing a little hook and then all the intsruments and other sounds slowly get added on top until you've got one hell ...
...chorus is brilliant and you'll be humming it everywhere as i know i do. Overall this is a brilliant track which i'll be listening to for a long time to come!

The chorus is different but in a good way. It's one of those voices like in through the wire but more bearable. ...
