Video: Common at The Shrine in Chicago for 2009 Hennessy Artistry Series...

Common getting it in. Here's a short interview clip he did surrounding Hennessey's Artistry Series. Interesting.

Common is a cool dude, rocks interviews for the most part.

Video: KiD CuDi Feat. Kanye West & Common - Make Her Say (Poker Face)...

Liberated yesterday from the good people over at G.O.O.D Music.

We like where they took the concept of this video to...

*However if it were up to us (And it most certainly is not) we would have done it like so:

Since their order on the record goes in respect to their age, youngest to oldest, it would have been cool if they went on three dates relative to what couples in that age group do i.e have Cudi on a friendly kid's date, Kanye on a cliche` teenagers date and Common on a very grown date. All with interesting twists of course.

Well, we'll save that for when interesting director's deals all come our ways.

Doesn't hold breath.

Common On His New Album...

Rapper Common talks with MTV about his new album and his sources of income. Here's what he had to say:

"I'm looking around November, I'm working on a new album called The Believer. I'm just getting in the mode. I been touring a lot and been working on verses here and there. Now, I'm starting to get focused on the album, letting it take its shape. And at the same time I'll be working on films, God willing."

About his sources of income he said:

"I feel a lot more free with my music now that I'm doing films and stuff, because I don't put as much pressure on the music. It ain't my only source of income and way to make a living."

Umm, there you have it. Come on, we knew that Common was far from a starving rapper, however sometimes you need that hunger in your lyrics. We only hope that he isn't too comfortable in giving us Electric Circus' and Finding Forevers well, forever...
