Video: Common Debuts “Believe” in Hawaii
Something made me wanna listen to “Misunderstood” and “Black Maybe” last week and I decided to just sit through all of Be and Finding Forever again, and please believe me when I say The Believer is at the top of my list of most anticipated albums.
Common says it’s coming.
Props to kenewest

Be is my favorite Common album.
It might not be his best, but I think it’s a complete album in a way none of his others are.
It’ll go down as a classic.

Somedays I take the L to gel with the real world
Got on at 87th, stopped by this little girl
She recited raps, I forgot where they was from
In ‘em, she was saying how she made brothers cum
I start thinking, how many souls hip-hop has affected
How many dead folks this art resurrected
How many nations this culture connected
Who am I to judge one’s perspective?
Though some of that shit y’all pop true it, I ain’t relating
If I don’t like it, I don’t like it, that don’t mean that I’m hating
I just want to innovate and stimulate minds
Travel the world and penetrate the times
Escape through rhythms in search of peace and wisdom
Raps are smoke signals letting the streets know I’m with ‘em
For now I appreciate this moment in time
Ball players and actors be knowing my rhymes, it’s like
AND YA KNOW, AND YA KNOOOOOWWWWW
hip hop for the black people
January 19th, 2011 at 5:21 pm
This is the first time I honestly don’t care about a new Common album. Wouldn’t be surprised if it turns out to be dope though.
January 19th, 2011 at 5:21 pm

That shit does seem kinda hoelike though.
I mean, it’s not like they don’t recognize the nigga. Say what up.
It smells like some primadonna egotistical kiddie shit.

—————-
true…
definitely has the most commercail appeal of all his LPs
Common’s best 3 or 4 lps is right up there with Camron & Nas & Ghostface best 3 or 4 LPs… their discographies all battle for position behind Camel’s discography
Common is definitely top 15 GOAT

No lie. Lebron and Wade probably have huge egos(Lebron is into the hip hop scene so he know who that dude is) but I still laughing at Weezy complaining about it in Rolling Stone of all places.

my main thing is my top 4 is pretty much set at this point (Jay> Nas> Common> Biggie) but the rest of my top 10 could be any combination of another 10 guys depending on what I’ve been listening to recently (Killa Cam, AZ, Beans, Jada, Lupe, Thought, Ghost, Prodigy etc)
January 19th, 2011 at 5:34 pm
still LMAO @ the lil romantic scene between Common and Latifah…
both them niggas looked mad uncomfortable… Common looked like he was like, “EWWW…this is like hugging and kissing a Dude..’
Latifah looked like she was like, “EWWWW… this is like hugging and kissing a dude..”

Basketball life hasn’t always been easy for former North Carolina star Rashad McCants(notes). He went from being one of the top high school prospects in his class to a lottery pick to an NBA pariah, all in the span of a few short years. With his chances at an NBA spot dwindling, you’d almost think he should start thinking of another career.
Rashad agrees, so he’s now trying to act. Check out this preview of his first foray into the thespian arts, the web series “The Booster Club,” starring former famously underaged pornstar Traci Lords. We can’t embed the clip because of its good deal of naughty language, but here’s the link at Stiletto Jill. This is very clearly not safe for work.
McCants, who also executive produces the series, plays the bisexual leader of a high-end shoplifting syndicate. If that sounds like a giant mess to you, you’re not alone. Whereas some athletes-turned-actors have played variations on themselves for more than a decade (see: Fox, Rick), McCants is aiming for something a little higher in his first major role. Good luck to him as he tries to play this exceedingly complicated character.

He’ll prolly never admit it, but the commentor and the illdoctrines and the Editorials and all that… The similarities are uncanny…
What makes me believe it more is that he dont ever openly deny it… and ive asked a plethora of times lol… weve had cobversations or two on this forum and he still never dconfirmed or denied lol… Im readin his blog and its some new videos up and he on the radio and they stream it online… I wonder when I can catch it seeing how Im not in the Tri State right now…
