not like they havent worked together before..
Leggy Hendrix:
common's definitely one of the tightest rappers around, so i think its a great move. i also think kanye should get movin and sign the mighty Pharoahe Monch as well.
ps what happened to talib kweli/mos def signing? is that still on the cards, or was it just another rumour that was proved untrue?
NobodyButMe:
all you guys sayin it would be a good move are gonna be the same guys bitchin when common goes more commercial - everyone wanna be down until it happens then they regret it......
personally i wanna see kanye and common do an album together, with guest appearances by the ones that common always does guest appearances with - talib, bilal, cee lo, d'angelo, erykah.....if any of the other roc artists are on it, i think it'll blow........
On The Edge of Insanity:
To Jome the Common/Kanye relationship has always been well known about, and like SGV said No I.D is Kanye's mentor.
To everyone else, did you actually read my post or did you just read the title, cause it you look inside the article it actually said that it was likely to be a joint deal between Rocafella/Interscope on Kanye's label. Therefore I would find it very unlikely that any Rocafella artists other than Kanye will be featured on the album. I mean look at Kanye's album, only ROC artists on there were Jay Z and Freeway, and hes actually signed to the ROC straight up.
And JT Platinum, Common ain't gonna go commercial because he knows that after Electric Circus he needs to come back with an amazing hiphop album to get himself back up there in the game. I think the only producers you gonna be seeing on his album are probably gonna be Kanye/No I.D/Premier maybe/been talk of 9th Wonder/maybe one Neptunes track. I can just tell its gonna be a really amazing album, and there is no chance of him selling out. If the album is successful it will be because its a quality album.

personally, i liked electric circus. i didn't really mean that common was gonna sell out if he went 'more commercial' - i mean, look, he did COCA COLA commercials a few years ago.....i meant that people are going to BITCH that he's gone pop cuz he's on the roc. not to say that he's really going to go pop, he'll probably be doper than he was before. but i'm saying that people always bitch in here because of an association with someone else. everyone bitches that dre ruins talented underground acts. honestly, i think common is gonna be the same regardless, i just hope he doesn't sell out to the roc. i think people are going to bitch regardless of how much or little he's changed when he's on the roc.
i think people bitch with no real evidence. hell, i could care less what record label any artist is on. but, like i said, i think too many people put too much emphasis and are too harsh on which record label someone is on....and that's what i was commenting on...
