But this could be a good look. Artists need to keep it moving, and Kanye, for all his merits and effort, will never be able to capture the chemistry Common had with Dilla. No one will. Why not branch out? There's nothing to lose. Common Previews 'Invincible' New Album [BB]

Fuzzy Kazoos To Save Hip Hop
Published 5/1/2008 by noz at XXL
... of late. Like so many people who age with time, I have grown disenchanted with the current hip hop landscape. It fails to ignite my spiritual being the way it did the first time I spun around on my head while rapping all the words to “The Scenario” in reverse. But never no more shall I worry for this fair genre, as there is a light in the distance. It is reflected off the most reliably shining bald head since Dom Delouise.

Published 5/3/2008 by Chi-Chi at URBAN-HOOPLA.COM
[image] Common held a private listening session for his upcoming eighth album, "Invincible Summer", BILLBOARD.COM reports. The Chicago-based artist said his new material has a "feel good/summer time" appeal to it.
