Appreciated so much. I love this album....one of the best -hip hop albums created in the last ten years. Amazing from start to finish....great lyrics and great production. Easily Com's best and most complete work IMO.
Favorite song on the album is It's Your World....song always gets at least 3 spins from me.

won't lie I wanted to like Kanye's production on this but I didn't he stuff always sounds thin and for the times. Dilla did damage and and to the poster who said this was com's best work check pleaaase reconsider your stance. Like water for chocolate, One day it will all make sense and Ressurection are much better albums.

That verse IS Kanye, arrogant, cocky, pick an adjective to describe his personality. That verse embodies his persona.
But, BE is one of my favorite albums of all time. Production, lyrics, track sequencing, the album is a classic. I didn't hear the album in its entirety until 2 or 3 years after it came out, but even individually the songs stood strong.

I am a Com fan and listened to every Com album and this always comes up as an argument. Sorry but some fans of music especially in hip-hop always believe an artists earlier works are always superior and that is not always the case and is the case with common. LWFC, ODIWAMS and Ressurrection are all solid albums but have definite skippers and the production on a whole for those albums are not close to Be. Lyrically and production wise Be is Common's best album....the album is great and you can listen all the way through. Even his weakest track Go is not a skipper and works in the album. Be is just simply beautiful hip-hop!

Love.
The fact that this came out the day my daughter was born and that intro...this album will always be great to me.
I look into my daughter's eyes....and realize that I'm gonna learn through her.

I might give One Day It'll All Make Sense the nod over Be too depending on how I'm feeling that day.
Not trying to take anything away from Be though. Phenomenal album.

Love this album! But I still til this day say "Like Water for Chocolate">
I remember being happy as hell as a kid and buying that album for $22 hahaha.

Kind of irrelevant, but Big Sean seemingly stole that high pitch thing from Kanye on "they say".
Album is in my top 5 btw
