Black Thought, Common, Pharoahe Monch & Absolute - Live At The Stretch Armstrong Show (1997)
-
Artist:
Were you unfortunate enough to cop the supremely underwhelming Lyricist Lounge Vol. 1 LP when it came out? You might recall that the highlight was a recording of a Stretch Armstrong Show freestyle session which assembled Pharoahe Monch, Black Thought, Common and Absolute (House of Reps) for a brain-melting display of verbal destruction. At the [...]

Common - Universal Mind Control Review
-
Artist:
-
Album:
Not too many artists can say they've put out eight albums, won two Grammy awards and co-starred alongside Denzel Washington. The conscious Chicago MC who once called himself Common Sense has grown into Common the entertainer - rapping, acting and doing GAP commercials. Maintaining a career in the hip-hop industry since 1992 and trying to [...] Related posts:Fucked Up - The Common Chemistry o...

Common and Universal Mind Control
-
Artist:
Well I referenced this track briefly in my previous post about the up and coming rhyme heavy Novel and true to my word I’m spread some Common love around today. This track by Common, apparently influenced by Afrika Bambaataa, features Pharrell and is available on Common’s latest album Universal Mind Control (amazon) (itunes). I’m not sure if I’m a fan of the rest of the album. In fac

Album:
To just "be" seems so general, yet, strangely specific doesn't it? Apparently, the album, previously called "Basement Evolution," was Common just be-ing. How do we know this? He is in, no doubt, an ultra comfort zone with Chicago brethren, Kanye West, throughout the entire album. Aside from two masterful tracks produced by the late J [...]

Common, Universal Mind Control
-
Artist:
-
Album:
After successful acting roles in Wanted and American Gangster, Common ( real name Lonnie Rashid Lynn Jr ) finally returns with his eighth studio album? and the 36 year old is at his experimental best. But Common delivers his lyrics with vigour and rescues the track to shine as one of UMC's cornerstones. Everywhere enlists Martina Topley Bird, whose trippy vocals punch away agreeably to the rave...

LILY AND COMMON TRACK: Drivin' Me Wild

Track:Drivin Me Wild (ft. Lily Allen)
Drivin' Me Wild I have varied reactions when it comes to Common’s music. At times I get aggravated (or is it too strong of a word?) in his performance at Kanye's "Get 'Em High". His performance in Smokin' Aces wasn't at all beyond compelling. But since he doesn't act for the majority of his time, I'll make this pass. But I was extremely surprised with this track. When I heard that Lily Allen wa

Common: Electric Circus
-
Artist:
2003 saw the release of Common's Electric Circus and if this album isn't an experience, I don't know what is. Over the years I've found that this is an album you either hate or love. The people who love it tend to commend Com for his risk taking and his adventurous route taken on this release and [...]

Like Water For Chocolate: Original Samples
-
Artist:
-
Album:
We've compiled most of Common's albums into sample sets here and this was a set previously compiled by Bulldog. His site (BMusicSite) has gone through a bunch of changes over the months and sadly all of his sample sets have been lost. I wanted to revisit this set anyway since I found 5 more samples [...]
