MTV’s When I Was 17: Common

Chi-town emcee & actor Common was featured on MTV’s ‘When I Was 17’ show & spoke on how his basketball injuries lead to a ‘life of rhyme’. T-Pain is also featured in this particular episode of the show as well & their stories are hilarious as hell. Both artists have albums dropping in December…..

Common’s Album Listening Party for ‘The Dreamer, The Believer’ (Video)


The hilarious thing about Common’s “The Dreamer, The Believer” album listening party in Atlanta last night is that whoever organized it didn’t invite the key media & radio people who actually have been supporting Common regularly like ourselves. It’s like this listening party was trying to push it to the wrong audience or media who rarely ever support his work. What’s even more ironic the album listening party was held at Jermaine Dupri’s SosoDef Studios. Oh well….that’s the music business for ya….Somebody at a major label drops the ball again where it matters. Album comes out December 20th. Hopefully they have enough press about it.

Nas Rocks New York City Show & Brings Out AZ, Common, & Mos Def (Video)

Saw alot of people I follow on twitter who happen to be in NYC talk about this show when it was going down last night. It was only a matter of time before video surfaced of Nas ripping a show at NYC’s Webster Hall. I think this may have been a surprise performance because it’s not like Nas to rock over his own vocals at shows. Maybe the DJ just pulled up some quick Nas joints out of his serato. Nas also brought out a few special guests to the stage with him in Common, AZ, Mos Def, Maino. More video under the hood….
