Jay Electronica & Frank Ocean Working On G.O.O.D. Music Album

As if the G.O.O.D. Music roster wasn't star-studded enough! Reports from Marsha Ambrosius' Twitter machine say that Jay Electronica and Frank Ocean have been in the studio the past few days with her and the G.O.O.D. Music crew. My anticipation of this album may have just tripled in size.

Common Freestyles at D. Wade's 30th Birthday [Video]

While out in Miami for the celebration of Dwayne Wade's 30th born on day, Common Sense took the stage as one of three performs (T.I. and Rick Ross were the others). Since they both are from the same neighborhood in Chicago, he felt that it was only right that he blessed the room with some bars off the top over the piano keys to 'Celebrate'. After all, what would a birthday be without Common freestyling for you personally. Maybe I'll work on that one for my next bday.

I finally was able to give Common's new album, The Dreamer/The Believer, a full spin last weekend and my only reaction was wow. Unfortunately the bad timing of dropping in late December left it off many "Year End" lists because it easily made my top 5 albums of 2011. 'Celebration' is just one of the many standout tracks from the project. Some of my other favorites included 'Cloth', 'Sweet', and 'The Dreamer'. Support good music (pun intended) and go cop The Dreamer/The Believer on iTunes now.

Now with nine studio albums under his belt and many guest appearances on top of that it's difficult to choose the standout verses of Common's extensive discography. The folks over at XXL have put together this list of "50 Greatest Verses" from one of the G.O.A.T.

Drake thought he could get away with throwing shots at a real emcee like Common Sense? No more subliminal shots anymore, Common fires back hard directly at Aubrey. "Make no mistake, I'm talkin' bout Drake." Shout to MTV News on the cover art.

A real reason to celebrate would be because Common's The Dreamer, The Believer finally hits stores tomorrow, December 20th. You can stream the whole album here before it drops.

Common - The Dreamer, The Believer [Album Stream]

It's a shame that so many of these music websites, blogs, and magazines have already finished with their 'Top Albums of 2011' list, because Common's The Dreamer, The Believer won't be dropping until five days before Christmas and you know it's going to be a monster. Don't wait, pre-order your copy on iTunes now.

For the next installment of Court Dunn's "VERSES" series, Common Sense takes on Nas' classic verse from "Life's A Bitch". I think it's about time somebody takes on a Common verse from either "6th Sense" or "I Used To Love H.E.R."

The next leak from The Dreamer, The Believer (dropping December 20th) is another feel-good, No I.D. produced track called "Celebrate".

This No I.D.-produced track kinda really goes. If there's any one album you decide to buy this year, you better make sure it's Common's The Dreamer, The Believer when it drops on December 20th. You can also hit the jump to check out the official artwork and tracklist for that project.

Flex let go of a new Common track from The Dreamer, The Believer (with bombs included). Every leak so far has been unreal, so it's pretty obvious that Common Sense is still one of the best in the game. We'll keep you updated if somebody decides to drop a CDQ version. EDIT: Just as expected, Common hit the world with the link for the final version of this incredibly dope track. Enjoy!

"From the vaults of the underground comes a never before heard tale from Chicago's Greatest Street Poet, Common. Common's graphic story comes to life with the assist from visual artist and producer dsteele."

Throwback Thursday: J Dilla - So Far To Go ft. Common & D'Angelo

I've been on a bit of a Common binge as of late. The new singles and album dropping soon probably has gotten me a little hyped. Fell upon this on my iTunes (shuffle is the shit). Enjoy a classic...

Common - Blue Sky [Lyric Video]

Already an official lyric video has been released for Lonnie's new single. The Dreamer, The Believer is due out November 22nd.

It took a little bit longer then expect, but we're finally blessed with Common Sense's second single off his  upcoming album, The Dreamer, The Believer.

Common - Ghetto Dreams ft. Nas [Video]

We're finally blessed with the video for the first single from Common's upcoming The Dreamer, The Believer album. Staying on the Watch The Throne tip, it would be dope to see a collab album from these two GOATs.
