It’s always interesting when videos like this end up leaking. Were they really that upset with this final result that they felt the need to go create another video with all the robots? Shrug…I like ’em both.
And for the record, this album is still dope.

On December 13th, the legendary Common Sense made his 4th appearance on Sound Session here in Seattle. Since we just talked to Com in September (check it out here), we wanted to do something a little different instead of our traditional interviews. With help from our good friends at Interscope/Geffen/A&M we threw a listening party for his new Universal Mind Control album with 50 lucky winners, some customized Microsoft Zunes, and other assorted goodies.
In the video recap, you can watch Com talk about the creative process for every track on the album and what it was like to work with the Neptunes, Mr. DJ, Kanye West, Cee-Lo, and more. Be sure to watch both parts of the video and enjoy them in HD on the HyphenTV Vimeo Channel courtesy of Organic Digital Videomedia.

Since the entire interview lasted about an hour, I’ll be posting up the full audio for all you die hard Common fans sometime in the next week. As dope as the video clips are, there’s even more interesting tidbits about UMC‘s creation in the extended interview (the reason why the “Announcement” video was pulled, the story behind the original mix of “Punch Drunk Love,” etc.).
Stay tuned for that and hit up Com in the blogosphere over at his new site, ThinkCommon.com. Be sure to go cop Universal Mind Control in stores now and still available at Zune.net for 99 cents! It makes a great last minute Christmas present…
It’s 3 in the morning and I just got home after being out of the house from 8am on. So in other other words, I’m damn tired. Despite that, I saw this clip earlier today and wanted to make sure to post it up before I crash. I’ve been waiting for the “U.M.C.” video for a minute and it’s finally here. Enjoy the freshness…
