Flashback Friday: Common and Regina Spektor

Hey, y’all, it’s Friday!

And there was much rejoicing….

Let’s mark this magnanimous occasion with some great music.

Edward gives respect when it’s due.

Common, Be (2005)

Edd said: “Common’s a great lyricist, one of the best in the game, but his albums can be hit or miss. This album was a definite hit. Com and Kanye West proved to be a perfect match and together created magic. Critics might disagree but this is probably Common’s greatest work.”

Regina Spektor, Begin to Hope (2006)

Jai said: “All this week I’ve been listening to Regina Spektor’s latest release What We Saw From the Cheap Seats, which put me in the mood to listen to the album that sparked my love for Spektor, Begin to Hope. A student once randomly wrote on a test that I seemed like someone who would like Regina Spektor. Though she was right I wasn’t quite sure how to take that since Regina Spektor is so freaking weird. But all that strangeness makes for some amazing music thanks to her talent and knack for storytelling.
