Common Prepping Memoir Due Out In 2011
Common gets that Decoded swag, and plans to drop a memoir in 2011. The book, which will be titled after my favorite Common album, One Day It’ll All Make Sense, is set to explore Rash’s career as a struggling emcee from Chicago who rose to Hollywood’s a-list and later become a household name. It should…
Video: Common Performs @ Obama’s 2010 Democratic Rally in Hyde Park
Yesterday, Obama was back home in Chicago to host a Democratic Rally in support of the candidates in the local midterm elections. Barry O recruited another Chicagoan, Com Sense, to rock the crowd and remind voters to vote Democratic on Tuesday. He performed three songs for the thousands in attendance. Ignite the people like Obama,…
Lupe Fiasco, Common, Jennifer Hudson & No I.D. – We Can Do It Now
Chicago is definitely in the building on this collabo No ID put together for Season 3 of Gatorade Replay. This song is significant because it’s the first time Lupe and Common have ever appeared on a track together, as well as Common and No ID’s first collabo since like 1997 or something. They created this joint…
Kanye West, Pusha T, CyHi Da Prynce, Big Sean & Common – 2010 BET Hip-Hop Awards Cypher [Dirty/CDQ] |
Finally a CDQ version surfaces of the (now classic?) G.O.O.D. Music cypher at the 2010 BET Hip-Hop Awards a couple of weeks ago. All these dudes went in, but the consensus was that Sean had the best go. Hey, to each is own. And this freestyle is notable for the fact that Ye first dropped…
Video: Common feat. Pharrell – Announcement (Alt. Version)
Apparently, this Little X-directed clip was scrapped in lieu of the other, more animated production. What rock did they find this under? iLLRoots
Kanye West – Touch It + Hustlaz [Unreleased]
So in the spirit of G.O.O.D. Friday’s, here we have two new Kanye instrumentals that were apparently meant for Rash. Per ReallHipHop, the first was to feature Common and Ludacris, but was never completed. Kanye is still on the hook as a reference. The second will probably sound familiar to you as it was also…
Video: Common & Brandon Jennings Play “Ho” on the George Lopez Show
Without enough time for a full game of Horse, Rash battles the guy who enjoys dancing to Lady Gaga in a game of Ho. Get it? Too bad Common couldn’t dunk in those hardbottoms. Keep a pair of Mike’s on deck, my dude.
Common & Q-Tip Forming A Group Called The Standard?
OBVIOUSLY this would be dope. One of the dopest things in the history of hip-hop. But I’m not holding my breath. Hip-Hop has let me down one too many times. Let’s take a trip down memory lane: CRS (Kanye West, Lupe Fiasco, Pharrell Williams) Fantastic Four (Common, Pharoahe Monch, Black Thought, Talib Kweli) Chairmen of…
Kanye West feat. Common x Kid Cudi x Pusha T x Big Sean x Charlie Wilson – G.O.O.D. Friday
