Common Says He's Selling New Album For 99 Cents

Author: Quinton Hatfield

Common [click to read] was recently speaking in North Carolina, where he caught up with HipHopDX. There, the Chicago veteran emcee talked about his forthcoming album Universal Mind Control. "I’m really excited about it and for me as long as I’ve been making music I always wanted to challenge myself. This album is a lot of free music, a lot of feel good music. I didn’t overthink the subject matters and made music you can dance too, ride out too, and have fun too. I wanted to give people something to smile about, enjoy, and let loose."

Within Universal Mind Control, Common says he has a song that really embodies the political climate America witnessed earlier this month in his home city. "I have a song called 'Changes' [click to listen] and it’s a reflection of what I see in the future, it’s changes going on right now. The youth really have a opportunity due to the fact we have Barack Obama in office. It’s due to the fact that people of all colors can see a black men, with his black women, and family can really do something powerful and lead this country. I wrote it probably five or six months ago, and it really fitting for the climate of the world right now."

Lastly, as artists ranging from Mos Def and 50 Cent have traded fourth quarter releases for a much less crowded 2009, Common explained his own push-back. "I originally was starting this album as an EP which was like a six song collection of songs. It was called Invincible Summer and I wanted to bring it out during the summertime. I did this film Terminator Salvation and I couldn’t finish the album in period I wanted to. I said, 'Man Universal Mind Control is the perfect title for the sound of the music. UMC fits the theme of what the album is about. That sounds like something from back in the days to something futuristic. Check me out on the website Zune.net, y'all can get the whole album for 99 cents the day the album is released, y'all can't beat that, my music is priceless. [Laughs]"

Rapper Common Narrowly Avoids Deadly Shooting

By Ismael AbduSalaam

Chicago rap star Common was nearly a witness in a fatal shooting that has left one man dead and four people injured.

The incident occurred yesterday (October 27) afternoon near the intersection of 704 Fulton Street and South Oxford Street in the Fort Greene section of Brooklyn, NY.

According to eyewitness reports, two gunmen opened fire on a 19-year-old man who was waiting at the corner for the friend.

The man fled into a nearby hair salon, and was subsequently cornered and killed by the suspects.

In the fusillade of 30 shots, four innocent bystanders in the shop were hit including an off duty police officer.

Witnesses also allege one of the killers fired a coup de grace shot to the head to make sure the victim perished. Afterward, the suspects fled in a blue Chevrolet Tahoe.

Common, a regular of the establishment, had just received a hair cut hours before the murder, stated Dana Jeter, a representative for the star’s record label.

The brazen shooting comes as a shock to new residents of the recently gentrified Fort Greene, but recalls the 1980s and early to mid 1990s when the area was a ravaged by drugs, crime, and home to such infamous figures as the original 50 Cent aka Kelvin Martin.

No motive for the crime has been determined, although authorities are certain the victim was a scoped target and stalked before the actual shooting.

At press time, the two gunmen are still at large.

In related news, Common’s latest album Universal Mind Control lands in stores December 9.

Common Promising New Album, Kanye Will Likely Have To Do The Same

taken from Soul Bounce

With Invincible Summer, er, I mean Universal Mind Control, set to drop next month, it's a bit odd to find Common talking about what his next project will be, isn't it? The Believer, an LP that he was set to begin working on until the "dance music bug" bit him, is still, according to Common, in the works. But I have to wonder if his PR rep is freaking out just a bit since isn't announcing a newer album when your just plain new one is about to drop saying a whole lot about the current project?

Yes, on the one hand it can be interpreted that Common is a man who stays in the studio or in rhyme ciphers, constantly honing his skills into an emcee that could slay all others in a single bound. But it can also be interpreted that Common maybe knows something that we don't. Namely, that this album might be a little too left of center for most of our tastes. I'm not going to say anything by implying that UMC may suck as hard as Electric Circus did, but I will say that Common is not the go-to-man for dance anthems. Couple this with the extensive collaboration with The Neptunes on UMC, and I have the sneaking suspicion that this will be a Neptunes album that Common is just being featured on, you know, since Pharrell can't rhyme. We'll all have to just wait, however, until we hear the finished product next month.

In related news, Kanye West has said of his upcoming 808's & Heartbreak:

"I'm not doing this to only have two people have this in their car," the rapper told radio jock Big Boy. "I'm doing this to make the most incredible album you've ever heard.

And if it's not that, I'll go in the studio and make another one," he finished.

Speaking from someone who was actually feeling the live version of "Love Lockdown," I have to express my utmost disdain for the total Auto-Tunization of his album. I know Kanye is mostly all talk and braggadocio, but something about this new album makes me believe that, following his logic from the quotation above, we should be expecting an album from Kanye right around the same time that Common drops The Believer.
