Be is the sixth studio album by American rapper Common. It was released on May 24, 2005, by Geffen Records and GOOD Music. The album is Common's first album under Geffen, following the mediocre performance of 2002's Electric Circus and the July 2003 merger of preceding label MCA Records, which, like Geffen and its sister label Interscope Records, was a division of Universal Music Group
The album was primarily and executively produced by rapper and GOOD Music founder Kanye West, with additional production from frequent collaborator J Dilla. It debuted at number two on the US Billboard 200, with first-week sales of 185,000 copies in the United States. The album is Common's second album to sell over 500,000 copies (over 800,000 copies sold), becoming a certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).
Be was also a critical success, receiving acclaim and accolades from several critics and music publications. The album received a perfect "XXL" rating from hip hop publication XXL and was deemed Common's magnum opus by HipHopGoldenAge. In 2022 and 2024, Rolling Stone and Billboard included Be on their lists of the greatest hip-hop albums of all time.
finally something good i thought u guys fell off
Fr (please listen to new common stuff)
Common is ok ('A Beautiful Chicago Kid', 'Courageous', and 'Fifth Story' BEing the more recent Common songs I liked). Def slept on. Kind of like how you're sleeping on that 'Coloring Book' reaction 'Relapse: Refill', '4', and Kanye's 'Cruel Summer' would go crazy too ngl
At least you’re self aware
Stop doing new trends and get back to the classics then!
plenty more classics to get through
the intro to this album is one of my favourite songs ever
One of the greatest beats of all time
same
YES
nah fr "be" such a good track its my fav off the album
the outro to this album is one of my favourite songs ever
Kanye caught lightning in a bottle with his production on this thing. It’s insane how amazing ‘Be’ is and even more so how well it has aged. I think it’s Common’s best body of work and the Intro might just be my favorite Kanye production outside of his own discography. Absolutely love this record!
I agree, Be is in my top 5 favorite “Kanye” albums including his own work lol. It has his style and production all over it and he’s even featured in multiple songs
I kinda feel like he's lightning in a bottle and can channel his whenever he wants.
Real ones know it’s his second or third best but yeah it’s also great obv. Common the goat
kanye is arguably the greatest, he is the lightning
why haven't they reacted to voltures yet?

ur the skibidiest sigma rizzler i ever ohioed 🥶🥶🥶🥶
🤟THANK YOU!! you're a real one!
Yeah I'll be damned they didn't shout out Bilal for Faithful. That's one of Common's biggest collaboraters.
Finally.
Also, sadly Ka passed away. A highly respected artist in the underground scene. Maybe it would be cool to react to him one day, ofc not immediately since that would be a bit too quick after this tragedy.
Damn bro I didn’t know R.I.P Ka one of the greatest of all time
Good call, so far have only heard through descendents of cain, but his lyrics are impeccable. Also a great person, RIP brownsville ka.
They gotta check out a Ka album
brooo wtf i didnt know rest in peace man one of the best poets ive ever heard
i Love ( mimi, moms, kev ) has gotten me thur som shi fr rip
@@benthosundercover7916same man.. literally had it playing yday to help me cope with shit
already such an emotional track and now 💔
You NEED to do “Black on Both Sides” now. Be, that album and Kanye’s two albums are the synthesis of what made this era special to me
BoBS is quite a bit earlier but I love all those albums
literally screamed "YES!" seeing this pop in my feed. god bless
Very much a sleeper album, lost my Dad this year and watching you guys together is amazing 🙏🏾cherish these memories
Our condolences ❤
CLASSIC. need another one of these.
My deepest condolences
This album is a gem that’s so slept on, I’ve actually came across some Ye fans that don’t even know this album, great coverage!
Be(Intro) is such a replayable song. Maybe heard it 3 times today before this video
it’s absolutely the best song to play when you first wake up in the morning 🙌🏼
Just some wishes:
My Bloody Valentine - Loveless
Flying Lotus - Cosmogramma
Erykah Badu - Baduizm
Lauryn Hill - The Miseducation Of...
D'Angelo - Voodoo
Ka - The Descendents Of Cain
Joanna Newsom - Ys
Julia Holter - Loud City Song
And Mama’s Gun! Great suggestions
Blueprint Jay Z
RIP Ka
@@ashwinkokate2295crazy they haven’t done the blueprint yet
Descendants of Cain is amazing. Maybe they can check out Orpheus Vs The Sirens also.
j dilla produced two songs off this too this was right before he passed
I love it’s your world
Yes, let's not forget the legend
@@criticalstrike_r i know its a hot take cause he did so many unbelievable beats, but its your world is one of the best dilla beats ive ever heard.. always nice seeing someone who appreciates dilla in the same way :) have a wonderful day and long live j dilla- the greatest musician of our time
Common is one of the best mc off all time. Very underrated. I wish you do Like Water for Chocolate which is my favorite album of his.
I never really got into can i borrow a dollar, but when Resurrection dropped i became a huge fan of Common. Plus i was in my high school years, so his early shit all have that dope nostalgia.
YES!! I was so worried this one would be Patreon only! Thank you! Love you guys.

This calls for soulquarian adjacent albums! I need that black star album!
Kanye and Jdilla producing the same album… it’s a masterpiece
Thanks for sharing how this album was a "building block" in high school for your appreciation of music and hip hop, I feel the same way - I would listen to the opening track on repeat in 9th grade. Saw Common last month at Blue Note in nyc and he played a few tracks off this album... it was awesome to hear him perform those songs in person, there were some songs like "The Corner" which I hadn't listened to in many moons and when he performed it the lyrics instantly returned to me. "They Say" is a hit to anyone I show it to 🌍🫶 His and Pete Rock's new album is a standout as well, "This Man" is a great track off of it.
Love it!! Kevin still has so much amazing hip hop to discover, need you guys to do J dilla Donuts
Crazy they haven’t reacted to Donuts yet
The first album I ever bought as a kid, on a trip to New York with my family. My brother bought Black Star and told me Common was really good so he got me to buy this (I think so he could listen to it). Incredible record, so glad to see you look at it together. The Corner continues to be a pivotal moment for me in developing my taste in music.
I don't know if Kevin noticed, but the rhyme scheme in The Corner goes from 1-syllable rhymes in verse 1, 2-syllable in verse 2, and 3-syllable in verse 3. It's so crazy.
Faithful production… chills everytime
Glad someone appreciates this beat. My favorite song off the album
This is up there with one of the best hip-hop albums of all time, the production of Kanye & J Dilla is exceptional and very special considering it was made during the latter years of Dilla's life. I agree with the Marvin Gaye comments, I have the exact same feeling having re-listened to it as I got older; it's a timeless soulful classic 🙌🏻
You need to do some Lupe Fiasco. Early 2000s Chicago rap was incredible with Kanye, Common & Lupe. Food & Liquor and The Cool are must listens.
Hearing this takes me back man. I actually lived in Chicago during the time College Dropout and Late Registration was released. I was a sophomore on Highschool when this came out. Kanye's production had everyone out here trying to sample the way he did. It always makes me sad hearing this version of Ye though. I miss it.
I'm saying all that to mention that I was never the biggest Common fan but hearing that Ye would be producing a good amount of it got me interested and I definitely wasn't disappointed. This is probably my favorite Common album.
One of my fav rap albums ever made, so joyous and whimsical
there is a light that shines
Special for you baaaaby
Wrong album dawg
@@jackowe9431 just saw common and that's the first thing I thought of, dawg.
You should do Finding Forever next. Still Kanye and J Dilla production but all of Kanye's production is made to sound like J Dilla as a tribute
One of my favorite hip-hop records from the 2000s. This production is so good.
The Corner! I got to see Common preform a couple of his songs with the Houston Symphony a fews years back, it was AMAZING!!!!!!!
MY FAV ALBUM OAT HOLY ITS FINALLY HAPPENING
Be is a top 5 hip-hop album of all time. Thanks for reacting to this
One of my favourite albums of all time
Feb. 2006 - House of Blues, Chicago - I saw Common perform this album. Absolutely amazing. Opened with "Be" and closed with "The Light". Icing on the cake was John Legend being the opening act.
One of my favorite albums of all time great that you guys covered it.
Common be is a classic thank you bro for doing your videos you put m listening to the past with your dad so wholesome
RIP KA 🕊️
One of my favorite albums of all time. Wow what a treat 🔥❤️
I love your videos but this one in particular, my dad and I also listened to this album together... in the car or at home and seeing you so united is wonderful, keep it up and what a genius Common, It's your world is one of the best songs i ever heard ❤️
Common discography low key fire, Finding Forever is a personal favorite, he also introduced me to Vince Staples on Nobody’s Smiling album
Thank you guys for talking about loving your friends, that really touched me and is something I'm trying to do more of. Gonna run this album back today I think, thank you both for all you do here.
Find Forever is my favorite common album with ye influence all over it. I can't wait until you guys get to that one! this was wonderful as well.
A personal favourite of mine and still Kanyes best ever record.
My old man used to always say Common was your favourite rappers favourite rapper.
Gotta do Like water for chocolate and finding forever now!!🔥🔥🔥
So happy that you guys listened to this one, one of my favorite albums ever. Especially after getting to see Common live, an amazing artist through and through
Connor is such a well balanced and cool headed individual
One of the absolute best, super formative for me as well! So happy to see you guys digging into it!
Man I appreciate you guys for finally doing this album! This album is a masterpiece
i literally just listened to this album yesterday, amazing album and amazing video
Been waiting on this one forever!
Oh fuck yes such a good album, you've blessed Kevin today
It's Your World is SUCH a heartfelt song, love it love it love it
an absolute all-timer, this record! Some of the most addictive production ever, goes down so smooth.
This is, and i say this with full seriousness one of the best might be the best hip-hop album i of the 2000s
I'm a simple man, see a 'Be' reaction and it's an auto click. The fact that it's put out by TTT is a freaking bonus!
Classic album, Underrated album, perfect production Kanye and Dilla, Great raps. I can play this album throughout with no skips.
I can't lie every time you review one of these hip hop classics it seriously makes my week
Me sorprendió esta reacción, excelente canal!!! Recuerdo haber comprado ese álbum en secundaria y era increíble escucharla con mis amigos en el salón de clase
Loved this one on the patreon. I really hope you guys do the Geordie Greep album. It’s easily gonna be one of the most fun videos you guys will make. Kevin will lose his mind from happiness, and Connor will laugh at some of the lyrical moments in the album.
One of my all time favorite albums. Good shit yall.
last three vids have been absolute GAS!! such good picks.
Thank you for this reaction 🙏
Since your dad appreciates musicianship and grooves maybe you ought to react to Voodoo by D'Angelo. It's a classic album of the highest order
Hell yea brother
This is one of those all time classics that touches your soul. Be, Black on Both Sides, College Dropout, etc… those types of records are in a whole nother league
All of COMMON RIGHT NOW.
I AM JOINING THE PATREON NOW.
YESSSS!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU TGANK YOUUUUU!!!!! BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR YEAAARRRSSSSS!!!! GOOD I LOVE YOU ALL!!!!! THIS IS MY FAVORITE RAP ALBUM FROM MY HIGH SCHOOL YEARS!
Finally!!!!! This is in my top 5 albums of all time
Also Kanye produced the whole album expect for love is and its your world which were produced by dilla
beautiful album man
Finally, been requesting this one
Haven’t watched these guys in a while, saw this and knew I had to watch it
This record is so fucking good holy shit, I deadass GASPED when i saw you guys reviewed it
Its Your World pt 1 is one of my fav hip hop beats ever, rip J Dilla
Yess one of my fav albums! Loved to see your reaction to it! Keep it up 😊
Be intro is genuinely one of if not my favorite song ever, Kanye’s production is so good and common just fits so well on it
Man I love you fellas. Just hearing you both talk about life and perspective is a gift in itself. Thank you both 🔥❤️
As always I love your exploration into your family + emotions with this music :)
idk how I never acknowledged this record until now. Cause I'm a super hardcore kanye d-rider and I knew of this album, that he produced it (did NOT knew dilla did two tracks too like wtf) and I loved They Say and Be (Intro)... but I never really gave a f about this album as a whole. When I heard how passionately you talked about this Album in the Video intro I gave it a REAL listen and just... wow (like kevin said lol)! Especially the outro track got me. this album is special and after the first few listens of the outro I really think it's one of the most inspiring tracks I've ever heard. Thank you, will listen to it tomorrow again. greetings from germany
I love this album, so happy you guys are finally covering it.
2nd fav Common album. Still give the edge to Like Water For Chocolate.
Well timed Common reaction. Was a good day to listen to it for sure.
Faithful is such a genius song I love it so much. It can be kind of taken at face value as a just kind of love song. But to anyone in the faith his opening verse is like a spiritual gut punch.
Testify is such banger. Remember seeing this music video when it released. I thoughts it was such a unique track
Been working all day, finishing now. Absolutely loved the conversation between Love is… and Chi-City. That’s why I love Common so much. The Roots, Mos Def, early Ye, Talib Kweli, Pharoahe Monch, OutKast. Their music is forever. And has really taught me how to maneuver through life becoming a man. It’s not destructive like all the bullshit that’s popular today. Love these artists, need them out here in my life.
Ah to be able to listen to Be (Intro) for the first time
Manifesting one day being reacted on this channel, love you guys !!!!
FINALLY!!!!! I haven’t watched your videos in a while, but soon as I saw Common I clicked on it immediately 😁
Guys you don’t understand how long I’ve been waiting for this one
That beat buildup to drop in the intro will always be legendary 🔥🔥🔥
IM HERE BEFORE STARTING THE VIDEO SAYING FINALLY!!
I’ve been waiting for this for a long time
Can’t believe 20 years since this album dropped. I’m getting old.
Just look at the thumbnails to all of the videos on this channel. I love them lol. As time has gone on, Dad has been dressing more and more hip hop. He dresses like he's even younger than his son. Its great.
one of my fav albums in like 8th grade, still holds up till this day
I also was in high school when Be came out, my favorite Hiphop album of all time🖤
Love is has to be one of the most beautiful songs i’ve heard
one of my fav albums
Been waiting for this one
That was special - thank you ❤
Bro this one hurt my heart. Well done.
This is still one of my favorite albums of all time, and helped further solidify my love of Kanye's production. I remember a bunch of my high school friends and I just sitting in a room together and listening to it from beginning to end, just head-nodding the whole time.
I also remember hunting down the studio version of "The Food" on Limewire to insert into my version's tracklist on iTunes because I couldn't stand the quality of the live version lol. Excited to watch this one.
been waiting for this!!!
