Common – The Dreamer/The Believer (Album)

Relax, we’re not that kind of website. The dopehouse has been given the go-ahead to premiere Common’s ninth studio release in its entirety a week before its official release (pre-orders are still available now). So sit back, relax and listen to Lonnie’s latest opus, on us.

  12. This is definitely along the lines of Analog | Division’s kind of production. Common needs to get at us on his next project. This whole shit sound dope. Will definitely cop this. AOTY maybe.

  13. Bad idea. People are just gonna rip and upload it. Common is one of the few rappers people should be supporting by buying the album.

  14. Even Yeezy’s album leaked. Buy it if you like it, like Drake said some weeks ago.

  22. Hearing all these overly positive reviews makes me think Common has people in his camp posting good reviews. lol really, y’all? I don’t know. Every time I hear a Common album, I start getting the droopy eyes. Production by No ID is cool, though.

    Jason said this on December 14th, 2011 at 6:51 pm

    very different albums and which one i like better depends on my mood

    commonsense said this on December 14th, 2011 at 7:50 pm

  34. Its funny how people talking about common being overhyped and this only being an average album like lil wayne, nicki minaj, drake, jay-z, mac miller, and all these other lames aint overhyped. Common been putting consistent music for years now he deserves the respect.

    Juice said this on December 14th, 2011 at 7:53 pm

    WORD! Common gets no respect!

    lilkandy said this on December 14th, 2011 at 7:57 pm

  36. I’ve seen Hell on Wheels, Common deserves very little respect at this point.

    Coltrane said this on December 14th, 2011 at 8:28 pm

  39. lmao brite.

    Nothing you do in your whole life will deserve the respect compared to the respect Common deserves for this one single album.

    Debo said this on December 14th, 2011 at 9:02 pm

  40. I’m on my second listen now. This album is incredible. This, Section 80, and XXX are 3 of the best hip hop albums to drop this year (im sure im missing more)

    And for all you other people, just sit back and relax:
    “Common has teamed up with 2DopeBoyz.com to present a special 24 hour first listen of his highly anticipated new album “The Dreamer / The Believer” produced entirely by No I.D.!”

  44. I can’t even tell you how exited I am for this, I’m buying next week, but I gotta listen to it now, lol. Into track 1 & so far it’s great.

  46. I just wish John Legend wasn’t on that The Believer. He almost totally ruined that shit. Incredible song still.

    twocents said this on December 14th, 2011 at 9:45 pm

  47. I still plan on buying it. Im going to resist listening to it right now just so im shocked by the masterpiece next week.

    J.T. said this on December 14th, 2011 at 10:10 pm

  48. Wow, Just finished it. Great album. & I’m not a John Legend fan, but He did his thang on it. No bad tracks imo, but Gold kinda skipped over my ears on the first listen because I was reading some other things. & “Windows” was great, wasn’t looking forward to “Pop’s rap/belief” tbh, but old man was good. lol. Yo, I only wish “So Sweet” had another verse, I’m picking it up in 6 days, everybody go cop it.

    Resurrection
    One Day It’ll all make sense
    Electric Circus (can be switched with “One day”)
    Like Water for Chocolate
    Be

    I don’t wanna rank this one yet, & I haven’t heard the debut or his last two albums. I’m buying this one though, like I bought Be, one day, resurrection, & Electric Circus. Keep droppin heat Common, true fans’ll cop it.

    Maga D said this on December 14th, 2011 at 10:42 pm

  49. Coppin 2 copies.

  52. man, 2011 was a great year for hip hop.. so many great albums, so many but Common comes through with the buzzer beater. this is definitely the best rap album this year..

    sonofthechief said this on December 14th, 2011 at 11:28 pm

  53. this is beautiful real music common always comes through gives you 12 tracks of that rawness definitely might considered this as being my album of the year

    jay said this on December 15th, 2011 at 12:10 am

  54. Dope music. Common has yet to disappoint on an album even when he stretched beyond the boxes people put him in.

    And yeah, album of the year. Been saying it since the first couple of leeks. I wish Nas was on another track or two.

    DJ Daz-One said this on December 15th, 2011 at 1:35 am

  62. Im not gonna judge you for what you like to listen to cuz its yor prefernce. this album right here is beautiful. im definitly coppin it when it come out. im really feelin that raw how you like it joint. no id is a monster and gives common that chicago poetic sound he famous for.

    ventley said this on December 15th, 2011 at 2:17 am

  63. Well balanced album.

    RoshaneRonan said this on December 15th, 2011 at 2:17 am

  64. First of all this is a great album. Secondly I have a question that hopefully some one can answer. I was a little surprised in this day in age to see so little features, however after listening to this albums there are a couple of hooks notably gold and celebrate that common obviously didn’t sing. How come if a celebrity says 5 words on a track they get credit but when a singer for example on celebrate has a vocal solo basically and isnt included as a feature. I understand that they are probably mentioned in the credits but i dont get why joe smo is never included as a feature

  78. I dunno, something about Common always turned me off. It’s like viewing a painting that is so accurate it looks like a photograph. Perfect execution, but lacking personality somehow.

    Jtron said this on December 15th, 2011 at 8:44 am

  83. I love this album…i don’t wanna throw the word classic out….but….it comes to mind….it seems ppl want Undun to have the praise also…so imma peep dat after…Y’all CHILDREN haha

    Drake Fucked XXL up said this on December 15th, 2011 at 11:05 am

  84. Great album. Deserves the praise but I wouldn’t call it a classic. I’m 2 listens in and the highlights in my opinion are “The Dreamer”, “Ghetto Dreams”, “Blue Sky”, “Gold”, “Cloth” & “The Believer”.

    Now I got to download this Roots album since I see some of y’all hyping it up.

  86. It’s alright. IMO it will not overtake Undun as my album of the year.

    MoneyTrain said this on December 15th, 2011 at 12:52 pm

  87. A couple people on here acting like Lil Wayne fans n shit tryna troll like people DONT KNOW that the roots came harder than a nigga fucking Rihanna. Yes its a GREAT album but damn… This is a Common thread aint it? That being said this is album of the year for me. Undone is a close second, charity starts @ home in 3rd. 2011 has been the best year for hio-hop in a LOOOOOOOONG time. Only blemish is C4…

    London East said this on December 15th, 2011 at 1:20 pm

  88. i think Warner Bros. finally gets it. They way theyve allowed Curren$y and Com to give a way free shit is commendable. This is classic 10/10

    Trader Joesph said this on December 15th, 2011 at 1:54 pm

  89. The singer on most of the tracks is James Fauntleroy. He’s a singer-songwriter that’s written a bunch of hit songs. He’s also worked with common and NO ID a lot (Cocaine 80s)
