![]() Intro I won`t give this a score cause it`s an intro, however its a very nice melody to set you in the "Common" mood. Start The Show As soon as the beat drops you`ll start noddin your head to Kanye`s voice on the hook. This is a very well produced number. Basically this is an intro to the CD, Common goes on talkin bout rappers and who he is and how he be. He does this in a very lyrical way which is cool but you`ll be coming back to this song cause of the hook. Now Lets start the show. Beat: 5/5 Verses: 5/5 Hook: 5/5 Flow: 3/5 Replay: Yea... for the hook The People This is stree radio for unsung heros. This is a jumpin track, where Common keep up with the flow. Common talks about... well obviously the people. He talks about the every day hard life we are going through, he also talks about himself on the second verse and how he`s still their for the streets and his people. This reminds me of The Corner on alot of levels, just with alot more of an upbeat tone. Beat: 5/5 Verses: 5/5 Hook: 3/5 Flow: 4/5 Replay: Yes Drvin' Me Wild ft. Lily Allen This is an excellent song right here. He talks about the obessions of people and what they do to be accepted as #1 and even if your number 1 you still want the attention in places you can`t get it. "Pathetic on his myspace page half naked". Lily Allen provides a very nice hook with Kanye west`s voice looming in the background evening it out. Love is not a mystery its everything, this is definatly the first stand out track. Beat.: 5/5 Verses: 5/5 Hook: 5/5 Flow: 5/5 Replay: Yes I Want You ft Wil.I.Am I like this track, has a nice 80`s vibe too it, especially with the hook provided by Wil.I.Am. On here Common gets deep about how he wants a women that he had to say goodbye too. He`s longing for her "warm". I believe that the girl he`s talking about is actually a symbol for Hip-Hop. Beat: 5/5 Verses: 5/5 Hook: 4/5 Flow: 5/5 Replay: Yes Southside ft. KanYe West Kanye West provides very good lyrics along side Common on here, they both talk about coming from the Southside of the Chi, they also go on about how they are South Side legends. The track is noted as a "Show" in small skits befoe and after the track. This is a very dope track, shoulda been floatin around in place of The Game, it woulda been an anthem. Beat: 5/5 Kanye`s Verses: 4/5 Common`s Verses: 5/5 Hook: 5/5 Flows: 5/5 Replay: Yes The Game On this track Common goes into how you gotta work to get stuff, and bout the hood. Even though I like the lyrics somethin just missin from it, feel like he repeatin himself on here. But don`t get me wrong its still a dope track. Beat: 4/5 Verses: 5/5 Hook: 2/5 Flow: 3/5 Replay: Nah.. just ain`t feelin it Black Maybe ft. Bilal This is a really dope track talking about the stuggles of black people and what he have to go through cause of our color. This track is too deep too really explain in a short sentence here, just listen too it and you`ll love it. Common provides and explanation on the track for you slow people. Beat: 3/5 Verses: 5/5 Hook: 3/5 Flow: 4/5 Replay: Maybe So Far To Go This tracks got a wonderful melody, produced by the late Jay Dee. This track seems to be talkin bout a girl , who again I think he`s using as a symbol for Hip Hop. He basically talks about a girl that moves around from coast to coast even with a joke line about the west coast most likely tribute too his battle with WCC. In the end its saying she came so far and has so much more too do. Beat: 5/5 Verses: 5/5 Hook: 4/5 Flow: 5/5 Replay: Yes Break My Heart This is an okay track, but something is just missin from it, or maybe its whats on there. The flow is okay but isn`t Common`s best. He basically talks about and untrusting girl who lets him in and doesn`t want him too break her Heart. Also I don`t know who sings on it but they provide a nice hook. It feels like filler for some reason, but its an okay track to just bump in the background when your not paying attention and need a nice melody, nothin too special. Beat: 4/5 Verses 4/5 Hook: 4/5 Flow: 3/5 Replay: Nah Misunderstood Deep track right here, on here Common spits bout people who do the things that are looked down on upon by society are just misunderstood, which is very true. For example he talks about how a guy was hustling and killing because he needs to support hisself and his family. No one can always be an Angel. Very dope track, you`ll definatly love it, especially if your in those environments. Beat: 5/5 Verses: 5/5 Hook: 5/5 Flow: 5/5 Replay: Yea Forever Begins This is a very uplifting track. I can`t really explain it, he raps about whats going on in the world and Forever.. and I just can`t explain forever. You need to listen too this track to understand it fully. Just know its real deep and Kanye provides a excellent beat, at the end Common`s dad provides some real nice words at the end. Beat: 5/5 Verses: 5/5 Hook: 5/5 Flow: 5/5 Replay: Absolutly Overall In the end this is a solid album, Common provides refreshing lyrics on here and talks about numerous things. However even though i feel like Common did an excellent job on this album, I also feel like he repeated some things from his first G.O.O.D. album, Be. If you never listened to Be you probably will enjoy it all just the same. So theres some good and some bad. Finding Forever stand as a excellent album just it feels like its missing something that the last album had. Oh well... lets just be glad its not Electric Circus. Forever is found. Score: 4/5 - Almost Classic Editors Note: Make sure to leave ya views on the album and my review as well, don`t just say propz. No Hate.

dope album review homie. Finding Forever is dope, I actually cop the album today, and I been listening it to it all day. All the tracks are ill man.
Good review, I agree with what you said. Great production on the album, and Common Flow is ill. Some of my favorite tracks off the album is "Start the show", "Driving me Wild" and "Finding Forever". Common is one of the ill est rapper in the game, keeping hip-hop alive. He deserved to sell with this album that all I got to say.

i agree with your overall review. the only thing i dont like about the review is that i think you gave out 5/5's too easily. 5/5 is reserved for something amazing. im not saying this album wasnt dope im just saying that 5/5 ratings for certain things shouldnt be thrown around so loosely.
