Common's music has always been too intellectual/sociopolitical for my tastes. He's sort of like Immortal Technique. I respect both artists' talent, but given my general taste in rap, I'm not their demographic.
I did check out Nobody's Smiling though. As expected, it was well-written and produced, but failed to grab me on a personal level. Not my style, unfortunately. Diamonds is a cool track, and I enjoyed the hook and girl singing on Blak Majik.
