More than any other Common album I have anticipated, I am anticipating this the highest. Why? Because I wondering where is Com going to take it. This album is going to be different the Common we are use to listening to (The "Conscience" Rapper label Common has received over the years. The first two singles ("UMC" and "Announcement") were pretty dope and have received the same response from people when I played it for them... "That's Common?!?!?!?"

But honestly, I'm glad I can FINALLY spin some Common in the club ("Go!" is the biggest strench I think. Maybe "The Light" if the party's vibe is layed back.) But I have not doubts this shit will be a banger from front to back.

Be Prepared...

because for the rest of his career, Kanye will never again do something "conventional." Why? Because he has earn that right. Millions of records later, why not take it somewhere else? You have the ears of the world, so why not "do some out of this world, is this nigga crazy?" type shit. Yeah, real shit, I had the "WTF" look on my face when I first heard this. But it grew on me and three mixes later, I can dig it.

Many Moons

True Story. About 3 weeks, at the end of my first radio show for KLMU (more details and podcasts coming very soon!!!!!), I needed to play another song to take up 10 minutes before the next person entered the studio. I found this CD in the new adds section, and randomly picked this song. Good pick huh? I have heard of Janelle Monae before from other people and the vocals she put down on various Outkast songs, but after hearing this in the KLMU studio that day, I became a believer... THIS SISTA IS BAD!!!!! This is off her debut EP Metropolis: The Chase Suite, in stores now!!!!

I Really Believed That We Would Get Detox first...

(1987 Circa the O.G line-up)
Looks like I was wrong....
(From MSNBC.COM)
NEW YORK - More than a decade after its conception, Guns N’ Roses’ “Chinese Democracy” will finally see the light of day before year’s end, sources close to the situation told Billboard.

The set will be a Best Buy exclusive and will be available Sunday, Nov. 23, rather than the usual Tuesday.

In the run-up to release date, album track “Shackler’s Revenge” will debut in the video game “Rock Band 2,” while a portion of “If the World” is playing over the end credits in the new Leonardo DiCaprio/Russell Crowe film “Body of Lies.”

In addition, GNR’s seminal 1987 full-length debut, “Appetite for Destruction,” will be reissued on vinyl on October 28 via Interscope.

The band’s last new studio albums were the simultaneously released “Use Your Illusion I” and “Use Your Illusion II” in September 1991. A covers set, “The Spaghetti Incident?,” followed in 1993, and featured some of the last GNR recordings from original guitarist Slash and bassist Duff McKagan.

This spring, soft drink manufacturer Dr Pepper offered to send a free can of the beverage to “everyone in America” (excluding ex-GNR members Slash and Buckethead) if “Chinese Democracy” were to arrive anytime during the calendar year 2008. A Dr Pepper spokesperson was not immediately available for comment.

And on honestly, I still can't believe I'm reading this. PS... I WANT MY Dr. Pepper!!! lol!!!

Luda And 9th Part 2

Let me get this straight.... Luda, 9th, Com, AND SPIKE LEE on the same track!?!?!?!? Woooooooowwwwwwww!!!! And word is Luda also got Preemo to do a joint. This album, from things I have heard so, is going to be serious. And I agree with Luda, this joint sound like something that can end the album proper.

Theatre Of The Mind drops November 25!!!

Buckshot Takes It Back To Summer Of '96

You may have heard last week that Buckshot was hospitalized upon returning from Tour in Europe. Well since he has been released from the hospital and from the looks of this video, he's in good spirts. I would have never imagined this song and Buck even co-existing on the same screen, LMFAO!!! This is classic.

"This Is That New S&!$%, Keep Em Standin' In Line..."

Com's eighth LP, Universal Mind Control finally drops on November 11th!!!

And on that note... I'm out.

Oh... MY GOD!!! OH MY GOD!!!!

This past week, Q-Tip (with Consequence in toe) tore down The Knitting Factory in New York for a free show put on by Okayplayer. See this reminding me of that Tribe show I saw two years, in that Tip knows how to fuckin put on a show. And just... just peep the ending man. No... I'm serious, watch what the fuck the happens at 6:49. That club went ape shit. You couldn't even hear the beat anymore, lol!!! I can not WAIT for The Renaissance to drop.

Oh and this shit funny, Busta and Spiff performing Busta's new single "Arab Money." While I don't really care for the song that much (maybe I'll give it sometime), I understand Busta's thought process behind the song (Being rich vs. Being Wealthy), and that dance for the joint is comedy.

"Spit Raps To Making CDs/To No Love To Gettin' These Ladies With Eaze."
