Common & Kanye West - They Say, Sessions at AOL (2005) “They Say,” from Be, is one of the standout tracks produced and featured by Kanye West during the early G.O.O.D. Music era. At the time, Common was widely respected as an underground voice, known for tackling social issues and embracing a more conscious, Afro-centric perspective. On the track, he pushes back against critics and outside noise, addressing the pressures of fame, industry gossip, and the challenge of staying authentic. The title itself reflects that idea, “they say” representing the constant opinions and expectations placed on him, while the message is clear: block it out and stay true to yourself. Backed by a soulful, sample-driven beat, Kanye complements the record with his early, hungry rap style. The album Be was largely shaped by Kanye’s production, with most tracks handled by him, while “Love Is…” and “It’s Your World” were produced by J Dilla and James Poyser. With some of the beats that didn’t make the final cut would later find their way onto Kanye’s 2005 album Late Registration. In the end, “Be” revitalized Common’s career, earning multiple Grammy nominations and becoming a defining moment for both artists. A project that blended Chicago hip-hop with soul, and a reminder of how powerful that era of Kanye production really was. #kanyewest #ye #kanye #common #be

When she said “I’m not your Plan B”… I felt that in my SOUL. 👏🏽 Because don’t come back acting romantic when you only showed up after your first choice didn’t work out. You don’t get to fumble me, try again with somebody else… then come back expecting access like I’m a backup plan. If you couldn’t choose me the first time, don’t choose me at all. And when he said, “I’m not leaving without her”… baby you should’ve had that energy BEFORE you played in her face. 😭💀 She had every right to be mad. Some apologies come too late. 💬 Would you take him back or stand on business? #JustWright #QueenLatifah #Common #MovieScene #RelationshipTalk #KnowYourWorth #PlanBNoMore #SelfRespect #BoundariesMatter #SoftLifeEra #HealingJourney #DatingAdvice #BlackLove #WomenEmpowerment
