The first single off BE, "The Corner", is nothing short of classic. Kanye West lays down a pretty stripped-down drum track made up of nothing more than a few piano chords and some scratching, and Common completely tears it up. Kanye West shows up once again for the hook, along with some spoken-word poetry courtesy of The Last Poets to set up Common's next dope verse. The Corner may be Common's best single since I Used To Love H.E.R from back in his Common Sense days. Classic material, and BE ain't too shabby either.
