Finding Forever

- Intro

- So Far to Go - Common,

Amazon.com
It's no small feat to follow an instant classic like Common's Be (2005) but he skillfully builds on that success with a worthy sequel. The two albums share much in common, especially with Finding Forever's focus and brevity (under 50 minutes) and especially with Kanye West's musical direction. The two Chicago natives have forged a strong chemistry together, especially on songs like "Start the Show" and "Southside" where both men appear, but just as a producer, West makes his presence felt on everything from the catchy piano tinkles of "Driving Me Wild" (featuring British chanteuse Lily Allen) to the brass-knuckled "The Game" (featuring DJ Premier). As has become his trademark, Common balances heartfelt earnestness ("Black Maybe") with clever charm ("Break My Heart") though he has one too many love songs ("I Want You"). Whether Finding Forever surpasses Be is a matter of individual, song-for-song taste: At worst, it's on par--a laudable accomplishment for a veteran now 15 years into his career. --Oliver WangAlbum Description
Multi-faceted Hip-Hop superstar Common is prepping his highly anticipated seventh album, Finding Forever, for a July 31st release on G.O.O.D Music/Geffen Records. The album is the follow up to the four times Grammy nominated, critically heralded and Kanye West produced Be, which spawned hits including The Corner, Go, and Testify. Finding Forever, finds Kanye again taking the bulk of production work with help from Will.I.Am on the sultry I Want You, the late great J. Dilla on So Far To Go, featuring a surprise guest appearance by D'Angelo and G.O.O.D Music producer Devo Springsteen on Misunderstood. On Finding Forever, Common, rips the mic like a hungry newcomer. The street single The Game produced by Kanye with scratches by the legendary DJ Premier is a horn drenched, vintage NY rap boom-bap banger from the Chi-town emcee, no less. The resounding lead single The People finds Common lyrically asserting why and who he creates his music for over regal strings, delectable keys and hard to get vocals by Gil Scott Heron. This is the explicit version.

By this long-delayed, massively anticipated album, the Wu had become less a crew than a small country, with dozens of central and auxiliary members, and rap styles so twisted they seem like another, private language. Without even a hint of anything for radio or casual listeners to latch onto, Wu-Tang Forever sprawls out for nearly two hours, and--taken as pure sound--it's about the most avant-garde No. 1 album ever, with deliberately bizarre production (out-of-tune and off-rhythm loops, even what sounds like a string quartet) and relentless torrents of cryptic, furious words. It demands repeated listens and careful attention to begin penetrating the mysteries of this dense, passionate, unique piece of work. --Douglas WolkCustomer Reviews:
"The Saga continues...Wu Tang...Wu Tang".......2006-04-08
The Good
-Some of the tracks on this album are just amazing and can almost be put it up with the 36 chambers. RZA really put on alot of effort into making Wu Tang Forever a Classic and he did exactly that.
-Not only are the tracks amazing but RZAs beats are just ON POINT and perfect(especially "As High as Wu Tang Gets"). I just cant stop ranting on how well made these beats are. "Reunited" is a perfect example. RZA put together one of the best hip hop beats ever! Ive never ever heard the violen sampled so freaking well in a rap song!!!
-Masta Killa and U-God finally make there pressance felt in FOREVER! Sadly that was really the only flaw in 36 Chambers which was that 2 of the members(Masta Killa and U God)barley had any thing to say in that album, hell Masta Killa only raps in ONE Song(not to mention he has a really short line! Same gos for U God!). But fortunatley this is where FOREVER fixes the mistake that they had in the first album. SO YES you do get hear alot(trust me alot more then the last album)more of these 2 not to mention they drop some really amazing lines. Did I mention Masta Killa is my 2nd fav Wu Member?..
-Triumph....Its simple...amazing beats...every wu tang member leaving a mark to be made...nuff said
Now..
The Bad
-Maria?, Dog%$^ What is this!?! These tracks are just straight up WACK! Yes you heard me! Some of these tracks are just...NOT GOOD. C'mon now you guys no better then that! I really really tried getting into these but as hard as a I try I just cant get into these tracks which is why this album is a step below there first album :/
-RZA! WHAT HAPPEND. Which is what came to me in a few tracks. Some tracks are just really hard to get into and a pretty hard listen. Not just listen wise but beatwise there just not balanced and i really couldnt get into them especially tracks like BLAC SHAMPOO(WHAT THE HELL IS THAT!!!) Just like some of the tracks the beats are just straight up wack(like one of the last tracks)
-Sadly RZA didnt produce every song in this album :/
-There is Little to No appearance from my fav wu member of all the Genious GZA! He made such a name for himself in tracks like "Clan in Da Front" and now we barley even hear from him! I think hes only in like what, 3 tracks on disc one and almost none in disc 2! Same gos for O.D.B. Both O.D.B and GZA barley have anything to say in this album(and im not counting the tracks with O.D.B like Maria because those tracks are just plain bad)..seriously this dissapoints me. You guys finally make U-God and Masta Killa make them selves feel welcome in FOREVER but now you guys have to cut short on O.D.B and GZA? Give me a freaking break, though I won't deny it they do have there moments(especially "As High as Wu Tang Gets"..
-Just to put it for the record I hate CappaDonna..
The Ugly
-"Black Shampoo"...nuff said..
-Why did they make U-Gods solo song so HORRIBLE! Blackshampoo is just...BAD!...totally bad and somewhat cuddley beats mixed with U Gods awesome voice just seems really unbalanced. Its as if youre mixing Method mans voice to...ok ill shut up now
Now how did I feel about the tracks?...

Still an Amazing Album COP IT
What the Blood Clot?.......2005-11-02
"Cash rules still don't nothin move but the money..."
5 stars reserved for 36 chambers.......2005-10-07
all fillers ignored, however, this album is just killer. triumph, the #1 hit single features every member (odb only doing the intro tho). reunited, the street single, is my personal favorite on the album. rza innovates a little with violin loops instead of his usual keys and it turns out to be dope. odb and gza drop some of the best verses on the album on that song. gza and raekwon also kill on severe punishment with some funny kung-fu samples, and rza's production is top notch on songs like heaterz. deadly melody showcases masta killa's haunting rhyming skill over rza's usual eerie piano loops with tight verses from meth and ghostface too. as high as wu-tang gets is another one of the standout tracks, with meth and gza (probably the best wu members to work together as seen on shadowboxin' from liquid swords) rhyming over a funky rza beat with a dope bassline and a fun singing chorus from odb.
overall this album is one of the best from the 90s and an excellent sophomore attempt from the whole clan, not innovating too much but still offering something different from their first album. unfortunately their next 2 albums almost completely ditch the old wu-tang style and now they're just above-average rappers instead of the supergroup they once were.
R.I.P ODB.......2005-09-19
2005-2006 look out for Ghostface-fishcale/ GZA&Mugzs- the Grandmasters/ Raekwon- O.B.4.C.l Part2(I cant Wait) Inspectah Deck-The Rebellion/ ODB- A son Unique/ U-god- Mr. Excitement (In Stores NOW) Masta Killa- eat Coast In Da House/ MethodMan- (Title TBA)And The RZA- Return of the Prince, or Bobby Digital in 5:1
as good as enter the 36 chambers.......2005-08-16
man, where do i start on this album? at first, when i bought it about a year ago, i didn't like it much. but after a while it grew on my and then i instantly became a Wu-addict, i went and got all the solo's i could find, bought the DVD when they were in San Bernadino, bought the CD to that and finally Rza's book, which is mighty awesome i might add. if you're a hi-hop fan, you'll buy this...if you claim youre a hip hop fan and buy Nelly, you need to jump off a cliff.
BUY THIS AND ENTER THE 36 CHAMBERS

WU-TANG!!WU-TANG!!WU-TANG!!!!!!!!!MUCH LUV CUZ.......2006-12-09
My Intro to Hip Hop.......2006-07-05
After seeing the video for "Triumph" a few times, I knew that The Wu were dope. I didn't realize it at the time, but "Triumph" actually changed my whole perspective of hip hop. To this day, I believe that this song is the best posse cut ever. Inspectah Dek and Method Man jump start this song with incredible back to back verses, and the beat is epic. I've heard this song hundreds of times, but I still get amped whenever it's playing. Everyone spits a good verse on this song, and the energy of the track is incredible.
"It's Yourz" is another classic. This is a great closing track for disc 1. Similar to "Triumph", this song has a lot of energy. It also has a great hook. This time it's The Rza and Inspectah Dek who lace the track with the most memorable verses.
A lot of people hate on this cd, but I don't understand why. Although "Wu-Tang Forever" is not anywhere near as raw as "36 Chambers", it is definitely more lyrical. I don't agree with all these filler complaints either. I have listened to both of these discs repetitively for nearly a decade, and the only tracks I skip aren't actual songs.
My favorite tracks include:
Disc 1
Reunited-great verses from The Gza and Meth
Visionz-great Production from The Rza
Older Gods-love the beat and Ghostface's verse
It's Yourz-see Inspectah Dek verse
Disc 2
Triumph-The Anthem
Little Ghetto Boys-one of Cappadonna's more memorable verses
Hellz Wind Staff-dope song w/ martial arts vibe
Heaterz-another great beat courtesy of The Rza
The Last Words: Classic cd. It honestly changed my life.
First Track Pops it Off.......2006-05-03
Yo The First Track on the record makes this record a dub piece then all the rest of the songs is bonus songs yo the Gods some of the only brothers bringing the Science of Islam at least attempting rather to open up the black minds in our people but yo they did they Job straight up my niggs The Black Man is God!

Album Description
This is the definitive Greatest Hits collection from the best selling girl group of all time. The current success of R&B and rap owes a great deal to TLC - their sound, creativity, and personality changed the face of pop/R&B forever. Lisa Lopes' tragic death unfortunately means that this will be the last album from one of the greatest and best selling urban/pop acts of our generation. 'Now & Forever - The Hits' includes over 75 minutes of classic TLC smash hits such as 'Waterfalls', 'Creep', 'No Scrubs', plus 'Unpretty' and features work by superstar producers such as Jermaine Dupri, Dallas Austin, LA Reid, Babyface, Rodney Jerkins, She'kspere, Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, and The Neptunes. The US release has been pushed back until early next year. BMG. 2003.Album Details
Greatest Hits Anthology of the Best Loved Pop Trio. The Set also Includes Two Previously Unreleased Tracks the T-boz and Chilli Finished off for this Project.Customer Reviews:
Hit & Miss.......2007-07-05
"Get It Up" from the 1993 film "Poetic Justice"
"No Scrubs" - radio/video version with rap
"Come Get Some" - featuring Lil' Jon with Sean Paul of YoungBloodZ
"Whoop De Woo" - a "previously unreleased" track
The other 15 songs are from TLC's four albums, appearing in album edit form - they are the same as the album versions, only shortened and/or censored. It does not include single/radio/video versions of "Baby-Baby-Baby" or "Hat 2 Da Back". The remix to "Kick Your Game" (featuring Craig Mack) is not included either; nor are any collaborations ("What It Ain't (Ghetto Enuff)" with Goodie MOb) or b-sides ("My Secret Enemy"). (And the radio-played "I'm Good at Being Bad", "Dear Lie", and "Miss You" are not included either.)
Rather than "The Hits", this compilation should have been entitled "The Singles & More" - but not ALL the singles, since "Hands Up" is not included. The inclusion of "In Your Arms Tonight" and "Turntable" seem rather random, since there are tronger tracks from 2002's "3D".
The two "new tracks" are nothing special. "Whoop De Woo" is notable only because it include a rap by Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes; "Come Get Some" is a Lil' Jon track with T-Boz singing the verses.
The song "I Bet" from the "reality show" competition "R U the Girl?" appears as a bonus track only on the 2005 re-release of this 2003 compilation release.
Unless explicitly bought for the four non-album tracks, this CD is not recommended to TLC fans who already have the other 15 songs in their superior album versions on the original albums.
A Big taste of Nostalgia.......2006-12-20
I don't believe I've enjoyed a CD this much in a long time. Every song was absolutely delightful; however, the cut of "Hat To The Back" is different than the one that's on "Ooh, On the TLC Tip", and I prefer that one more because it's WAY funkier. I also really enjoyed "Get It Up." That is a jam and a half!
It is so sad to think how this great female group (one of the best ever, in my opinion) was torn apart by the unfortunate and untimely death of Lisa "Left Eye" Lopez. They were all beautiful in their own way, and each contributed just as much as the other to the music. It is a shame the group's ending came about the way it did. That should prove to everyone not to take ANY day for granted; it may be your last.
I miss TLC, but this CD will help keep them all alive and in my heart for a very long time! This one's a keeper guys!!
tlc greatest hits.......2006-07-01
The end.......2006-04-24
This album is amazing, mostly of their hits. Including the must-listening "No Scrubs", "Unpretty", "Creep", "Waterfalls" and others. Destiny's Child and others would not exist if it wasn't for our forever-loved TLC.
There's 2 new tracks and a couple of missing songs such as "Dear lie", "Shock dat monkey", "Hands up" and some others.
This could've been released with a DVD including their videos, but I heard that a DVD was recently released. Another issue came when I found edited/censored songs "Silly h*", and "No scrubs" fades too quickly. Anyway the CD is one of the best Greatest Hits albums of all time.

Very Good Compilation.......2005-08-05
Still a great album, 10 years later..........2005-06-29
U2's "Hold Me, Thrill Me..." - best rock song on the album, it's lyrics reflect the duality of Bruce Wayne/Batman, sweepingly rocking and heroic. too bad this song isn't remembered among U2's best songs
Brandy's "Where Are You Now" - a good, funk-filled song (thanks to some funky Lenny Kravitz guitar-playing) and soulful singing from Brandy.
PJ Harvey's "One Time Too Many" - forget Avril Lavigne, this is truly "girl rock". throw your Avril CD's away and look for PJ's stuff.
Seal's "Kiss From A Rose" - soft, silky love theme for the film and surprising heroic-sounding, too bad Seal's gonna be known as a One Hit Wonder for this song.
Massive Attack feat. Tracy Thorn - dark, creepy, mysteriously sexy, fits well with the cat-and-mouse lover's game Bruce Wayne plays with Chase Meridian
Eddi Reader's "Nobody Lives Without Love" - touching and sad, captures the loneliness of a superhero who can't share his deepest secrets with anyone.
The Offspring's "Smash It Up" - high-octane rock, fast and hard, fits Robin's wreckless style
Method Man's "The Riddler" - the obligatory "rap song", but still quite good
Nick Cave's "There Is A Light" - Goth rock, the style fits one of the film's villains, Two-Face.
Michael Hutchence's "The Passenger" - cover of an Iggy Pop song, a lot better than people give it credit for, good, dark synth-rock (it even sounds like they use a crowbar as an instrument! ha!), the lyrics make it sound like Batman is inviting you to take a ride in the Batmobile for a tour of Gotham City at night. good stuff!
The Devlins' "Crossing the River" - nice beat (sounds like bongo drums at the beginning of the song), nicely sung, captures more of Batman's loneliness and desire to love someone.
Sunny Day Real Estate' "8" - great rock song, driving, embodies Batman's drive and determination, one of those songs where you can't quite tell what they're singing, but you still love the song and listen to it over and over.
The Flmaing Lips' "Bad Days" - call me crazy, but i never saw what was so great about these guys. guess i'm not into the whole soft-rock thing.
Mazzy Star's "Tell Me Now" - Zzzzzzzzzzz...oops, sorry, i was listening to the song and fell asleep. totally uninspired, boring, doesn't belong on this album, belongs in a juke box of a sleepy little tavern somewhere. worst song on an album of above-par songs.

That Raw Boom Bap (4.5 Stars).......2005-07-27
The only flaw (if you can call it that) I could find on the album was the fact that some of the songs were censored (like "Made U Look"). It was a small distraction, but a distraction nevertheless.
Hip Hop Forever Vol. II is more than worth owning. If you haven't heard it by now, quit cheating yourself and buy it. Jeff has been my favorite since day 1 and he has yet to let me down.

The Joy Of A Jazzy Jeff Album... {5 Stars}.......2007-01-13
Flaws? Forget about it. Like I said on the HHF2 review, it's a Jazzy Jeff album. I don't really need to say any more, but look at the track listing. You already know how Jeff gets down on the 1's and 2's. The decision should be easy.
Hip Hop Forever III is a worthy follow up to Hip Hop Forever II (a rarity in hip hop). Jazzy Jeff has been a favorite of mine since I first heard him back in '86. The tracks are effortlessly blended and the cuts and scratches are on point. I recommend making this album, as well as Hip Hop Forever II, a collection piece.
Standout Tracks: It's a compilation, Jeff expertly blends every song.

NOT WHAT IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN.......2007-01-20
CAN'T SELL DOPE FOREVER
It took the longest time but finally two of the greatest groups in rap history have come together to record an album. Dead Prez have always been known for their political and cultural views, as were the Outlawz are most likely remembered for their diss tracks recorded with mentor 2pac, they as well have always voice their opinions and views on the same topics Dead Prez are famous for.
1.INTRO-just a guy with a screwed voice saying the name of the cd
2.1 NATION-after a sample of a guy talking about gang violence a nice beat from STIC.MAN blesses your ears, and you are immediately hyped about this release. Then the Outlawz, Dead Prez, and STORMEY all start spitting about how everybody in the ghetto should come together and stop killing each other. This is a strong start to the album.4.5/5
3.CAN'T SELL DOPE FOREVER-next up is the title track, and this one isn't as strong as the first song on the cd. But this song is a good track, and has some of the best lyrics on the album as the Laws, Stic.Man, and Stormey each trade verses. EDI comes threw with the production on this track.4/5
4.LIKE A WINDOW-Stic.Man comes very nice on this track with an excellent beat, the beat is very reflective sounding. Plus Stic comes nice on the verses with a song about his brother, and ghetto life, plus the hook is very nice. This is one of the best songs on the entire album.5/5
5.SURRONDINGS-a quick interlude
6.THUGGIN ON THE BLOCKKK-the exact line up on verses and production from track 3 return with an even better outing. All of the verses are on point and the hook by EDI is real nice. Plus the beat from EDI is perfect for night riding. This is a nice track that even the casual listener will enjoy.4.5/5
7.U AIN'T THE ONLY 1-next up we come to a track featuring M1 only from Dead Prez who also produces this track. In fact his beat is very reflective, and the perfect backdrop him and MESSY MARV. This track is about not feeling sorry for your self because every body has problems not just you, so you can find help and people who can relate to you.4.5/5
8.SEARCHIN-CHUCK P, AND EDDIE COLDFINGERS drop and excellent instrumental, and fits the concept of the song perfectly. Stormey and SCOTT LO do an excellent job on this song, and ERICA sounds great on the hook.5/5
9.DEDICATION-interlude
10.FORK IN THE ROAD-this is the absolute best song on the entire album. EDI did an extremely good job with the production on this track, with the guitar in the beat and the samples of PAC in the song. Also MALACHI does a great job on the chorus with some excellent vocals. The Outlawz and Stormey lay some great verses, which only contributes to the greatness of this song, I wish there would have been a video for this song.5/5
11.BELIEVE-Stic.Man returns to drop verses, the hook, and provides the electric bouncy instrumental. This is another great song that all people should enjoy, as it is an influential song. Plus Stic's mother sings at the end.4.5/5
12.WRBG-interlude
13.HOLDIN ON-the Outlawz return along side CHAE, and Stormey spitting over a Stic.Man production. This song echo's the sentiments pronounced on the last track, and number 7. The hook on this one is nice to.4.5/5
14.CAME UP-Outlawz, Dead Prez, and BONE THUGS come threw on this one as one of each group comes threw. YOUNG NOBLE kicks it off with a nice verse, followed by a verse from Stic.Man, and lastly is LAYZIE BONE stealing the show as he sounds the most natural over TAI ROTAN's eerie instrumental. The hook from all three is nice, especially the last part of the song.4/5
Over all this was a nice release from these two influential groups, though obviously it wasn't what it should have been.

One to Grow on............2006-09-23
I know it's a mix cd and not an official album but still they could have done better. I can't lie it has grown on me a little more now, cause when I first got it I was like this is whack. Hardcore fans should get it, if you are new to both groups get something else, this is a bad representation of them.

Better than most but one problem for me...............2006-08-23
Don't get me wrong, It's not like I don't think prejudice, bigotry and racism doesn't still exist. It does and always will. It's just an ugly side of our human nature but it can't continue to be an excuse for an entire segment of the population not to achieve some level of success. The harsh truth is that poverty is a state of mind and there's always another way out other than slangin'. Bill Cosby is hitting the nail on the head with his comments lately. I like the conscious lyrics in this album but I just wish we could let go of this I can't achieve because "somebody" won't let me excuse, It's the 21st century people. Too many other people have done it, you can too. It's all about choices. Anyway I much rather this than the usual ignorant thuggin', pimpin', slangin' crap you hear all day on the radio. Keep it up Dead Prez I'll keep listening.
P.S. This is from a 33 year old brotha who has been around long enough to see hip hop go from Sugar Hill Gang to Eric B & Rakim to (God help us) Lil' John.
