Common ft. Pharrell – Announcement (video…unofficial?)

Posted in Artists, Joints, Music Videos on August 28th, 2008 by Hyphen

So apparently this Little X directed video for Com’s joint may not be the official version, since the BBC blog posted that Hype Williams did the real thing.  In the meantime, this looks fresh to me!  Even though Com has a couple shaky lines (“you’re better than that Lonnie” – Mark Jackson), I still like this song.  It’s no “U.M.C. (Universal Mind Control)” though.  Hopefully they decide to make a video for that too.  It has so many crazy possibilities.  If you need “Announcement,” here you go:

Common on Westwood, Parts 2 & 3

Posted in Artists, Other Peoples' Interviews, Videos on July 17th, 2008 by Hyphen

What’s up with dropping the parts separately?  Holler @ organization.  Anyway, shout to Dave Smith from across the pond for pointing out some doper British DJ’s we should check for.  I’m on it.  Part 3 of the Com interview after the jump.

Common on Westwood

Posted in Artists, Other Peoples' Interviews on July 16th, 2008 by Hyphen

Do people still use the word “tool”?  If so, Tim Westwood fits that perfectly.  What a lame.  Anyway, he interviewed Com Sense across the pond and I’m posting it for 3 reasons.  1) I didn’t realize Com was going to be in the next Terminator flick (w/Christian Bale, chyea).  2) Invincible Summer deserves all the publicity it can get, since I think it’ll be a great record.  3) Watching Westwood interview a rapper is like watching a train wreck.  I cringe but I just can’t look away.  To my British brethren, what DJ’s from England should we be checking for over here?  Semtex seems to be one, but other than that, I’m lost.  School me.

Spotted at Eskay‘s.

Wack Lyric of the Day, 7-15-08

Com

(i coulda used “peace, love, and Gap“)

“It’s the C-double-O, and I’m back again”
–Common, “Time Travelin'”

Com’s in my top 5 all-time and Like Water For Chocolate is one of my favorite albums, but that little freestyle/adlib always stuck out.  In the build up to the verse, you hear “it’s the C-O-double-M-O-N” a few times, so this one didn’t quite fit.  ?uestlove pointed it out on OKP right after the album dropped, but said they all heard it and decided to just let it slide.  I guess the Coomon does what he wants.
