Common – The People (Original Version)
So it turns out that the blog that’s been getting all the original Finding Forever session recordings are actually friends with Lonnie:
I also want to tell ya’ll about a new hip hop blog a good friend of mine is running. The link is here so make sure ya’ll check it out! – Common
That explains that. As for the song, it has Rashid humming what Dwele later sang on the chorus. This reminds me of how crazy the sample is.

Finding Forever = incredible album, yet it is often looked over because of how classic Be was. Hopefully, The Believer will live up to the hype.

da hell? maybe i’m not looking forward to detox so much, anymore:
Akon says he’s not the only one energized by the merging of Euro house beats with American R&B melodies and hip-hop rhythms.
“You’ve got some straight hardcore hip-hop guys actually moving into the dance realm,” Akon said. “And that’s shocking. When you’ve got someone like Dr. Dre about to do a dance record … that’s crazy.”
Akon wouldn’t comment further on the Dr. Dre effort, except to say: “it actually sounds great. He played it for me. I was shocked. So I was like ‘Wow, that’s dope. When the world hears this, they might go crazy.’ … When you’ve got the two worlds mixed together, clashing, it’s going to be a monster.”

If your 6′ and under and you get into it with one of these big niggas. first thing is to kick them dead ass in the knee, try to make that shit go backwards, then hard chop or punch to the adam’s apple (laryngeal prominence), after that it’s on you.
