It is safe to say that every artist has an album they’re not very proud of. They actually wish they never made that album and neither do the fans or the media. Common never was much into the limelight until his relationship with Erykah Badu and then his ‘breakout’ hit caught the attention of the media with ‘The Light’. Common was now destined to become the next big thing, but then came Electric Circus.
