Soul By the Pound

"I'm as bad bad, as Leroy Brown Brown
Yo I'm a pro pro, but not a noun noun
If you got beef beef, then you'll get ground ground
Cut up in soul soul, by the pound pound"
-Common, "Soul by the Pound"

This is just a reminder that one of my long-time favorite emcees (now also an actor) drops his new CD tomorrow. Run, fly, skateboard, or swim to your local record store to pick it up. I've had it a couple of weeks now and it is still in the rotation. The Year of the Pig gives this CD 4 mics (out of 5).
