Common – Gladiator (Von Pea’s Midnight on Myrtle remix)

So Common announced a remix contest for his track Gladiator off of Univeral Mind Control. Above is the video that he posted. One of the first remixes to drop comes from Tanya Morgan’s own Von Pea. I guess I never took UMC seriously because I thought most of the beats were tacky. But this is [...]

Universal Mind Control

So, I’m officially surprised! Considering the fact that I didn’t even give this dude a chance at the “Seeing the Invincible Sounds of Summer” tour when he and N*E*R*D headlined in Atlanta in October, I actually like this whole album! No skips [that's always exciting]! He worked with two of my very fav producers, The [...]

Common – What A World (feat. Chester French)

Banger! I’d been waiting to hear how this collaboration would turn out. I’m a huge fan of Common (as you may already know) and I think Chester French are pretty damn cool. At least that Jimmy Choo’s song is dope. And I am not disappointed with this track, although at first it did sound a [...]

Common – Punch Drunk Love (feat. KanYe)

Another new joint just rolled in off Universal Mind Control. Not too sure how I feel about this one. This is another track where KanYe contributes to the hook and nothing else really. I dunno why he thinks he should be doing that. Beat by The Neptunes that could have done without the electric cowbell. [...]

Common – Changes

New track off of UMC (formerly Invincible Summer). Its another Obama track, and its really cool. I thought this album was going to be all hype, but this track is real mellow and soulful. Kinda sounds like it could have been on Electric Circus in terms of the production. Its kinda ethereal, and the hook [...]

Common – Universal Mind Control (video)

Common & Pharrell go ultra-futuristic on us with this one. Really cool animation, use of colour, and just overall visual aesthetic. Not to mention, the song is real dope. I wonder how the ladies are going to respond to Pharrell’s new Daft Punk look. Good video, and I’m getting really excited for this album.
peace,
