I'm thinking that tonight I will add lyrics on screen into this reaction video during the times we discuss particular sections of lyrics. Is this something that would be a good addition to the album videos? Let me know! 

If so, I will update this reaction video and reupload it so it has lyrics.

MJB Mary J Blige raised me love that reference

Pops is right, she didn't love him. Testify is pretty straightforward, she definitely testified but she knew he wouldn't get off. She was playing him, she knocked him off the top so that she could take her spot as queen pin. She's duplicitous and strategic but she's pretending to be meek.

This was great! It was wonderful revisiting this album

I really enjoyed this album when it came out. I heard Go and Testify and thought the album must be good. I tend to think of Common as the “Good Times” of rap. He can talk about the worst conditions in the community and it will still feel like a “good vibe” due to the way he raps and his choice of music. My first exposure to Common was “Come Close” with Mary J. Blige, a classic. You guys should check that single out too. Also, I’m not sure if you have really listened to John Legend much but back when he released Neo-Soul music, like Anthony Hamilton, he released his first debut album called Get Lifted. That would be a great album to react to. Just like Amy Winehouse “Back to Black” can listen to it multiple times all the way through. It was also co-produced by Kanye West.

Yes! I think I’m going to revisit all my favorite Hip Hop albums from the 80’s, 90’s & early 2000’s
