UG Rap Community

Finde Kanye als Mensch (was man von Interviews erfährt) und Rapper schlecht, als Produzent finde ich ihn aber auch sehr gut. Mochte schon "Be" und habe bereits acht Tracks vom neuen Album gehört, von denen keiner schlecht ist (wobei bei "Southside" das Geschreie von Kanye ziemlich nervt). Habe mir das Album deshalb bereits bei HHV mit Mix-CD, Poster und T-Shirt vorbestellt

kanns du mal nen link zu dem paket schicken oder so? würd gern mal das shirt sehen... ich hatte schon das "Be"-shirt und das sieht ziemlich dick aus..

und wie du schon sags "be" war auf jeden fall nen sehr cooles album.. hör das im sommer immer sehr gern

Gibt's auch im Pack als Vinyl.

hat eig jemand schonmal ins neue album gehört? ich finds richtig gut... auch geil das da noch nen premo beat drauf is.. und der passt besser zu common als ich mir vorgestellt hätte..
is ein echt nettes album und kanye nervt nur ein bisschen bei "southside" als er in der hook so nen komisches stöhnen von sich gibt
is auf jeden fall wert sich die scheibe zu holen

[center]Ihr habt richtig gelesen. Das Gründungsmitglied der Formation A Tribe Called Quest, Q-Tip und der Chicagoer Common werden zusammen als Gruppe fungieren. In einem Interview mit XXLMag.com verriet Q-Tip folgendes:



Q-Tip behauptet es wäre die Idee von Common gewesen, so eine Supergruppe zu formen.



In den kommenden Wochen soll mit den Aufnehmen begonnen werden. Die Produktion übernimmt größtenteils Q-Tip.

5 Fragen an Common...

It's the hot new thing. From Eminem to Method Man, from Ice Cube to Snoop, you can't be a legit hip-hop artist without first tearing up the silver screen. Add Common to the list. After testing the water with Smokin' Aces - and after hitting a new musical high with Be and Finding Forever - the mogul gets a plumb role in an Oscar-worthy flick, joining Denzel Washington's mob-family in American Gangster. VH1 grills Common on what's up with him and Q-Tip, how he would change the music industry, and why the world of hip-hop has so many beefs.

VH1: There are no good guys or bad guys in American Gangster. Did that speak to you?
Common: I definitely felt a connection with that. I come from the south side of Chicago, which is a hood of black life. I did some bad things in the street, but I knew my heart was good. Even if you're doing things that might not be the most righteous things, you can still be focusing on trying to do good. Denzel Washington's character was about making money. Unfortunately it was illegal and a drug business that causes addiction, but his goal was just to take care of his family, and live the dream that other great businessmen have lived.

VH1: What can we expect from your work with Q-Tip and the Standard?
Common: A Tribe Called Quest has been a big influence on me. Q-Tip is one of the greatest artists. To me he's like Charlie Parker with jazz. It's really in its incubation right now, but it's coming. The sound is definitely going to be progressive, with the funk and the soul to it, and a little bit of jazz. So this group is like what happens if you get two jazz artists to do an album together. I look at my career as parallel to those jazz musicians who made music until they're 80. God willing, I can do that, and do different things, and do albums with other artists. But the Standard is going to be real MC stuff. You're going to feel that in the Standard.

VH1: Let's say you could magically change one thing about hip-hop. What would it be?
Common: Radio. I would change the way radio functions. I would have radio playing a variety of music, as opposed to the same stuff over and over again. Our people are intelligent enough - black, Latino - that if they hear good music and a variety of music, they will like it. Simple as that. It's like this. [Motions to a spread of fruit] They could have set some French fries for us to eat - and I love French fries - but fruit could be just as good, but you have to get used to tasting it. If you get used tasting certain foods, like French fries, then you only want that food.

VH1: You've had beef with Ice Cube. There's the whole TI thing. Why are there so many beefs in hip-hop?
Common: In all truth, it's a reflection of the community. A lot of people in the hip-hop community come from the street. And the street has conflict. A lot of us, when we get into the hip-hop industry, still have built up a "persona." And just because we're in the music industry, it doesn't take out all the things that we've experienced. So sometimes you get those conflicts the same way you get those conflicts from gang-life. Hip-hop artists - not all of them - don't leave behind their ways, whether good or bad.

VH1: Where do you see the industry going?
Common: With the reemergence or artists like Q-Tip - and with Wu-Tang coming back - it's providing a certain balance. People in certain age groups, or people that grew up listening to hip-hop, they need a certain feel in hip-hop. And that feel is coming. I think Kanye provides that feel, and I provide that feel. I think hip-hop has room for Kanye West and Lil 'Wayne. It has room for Common and TI. It's all part of what hip-hop is about. It's all an expression of who we are. It's not "one" thing. It's not just gangsters.

^^^^Oh man...den Song hab ich früher geliebt...und mit seinem Partner
bei dem Song (YNot) hätte er ruhig weiter zusammen Mucke machen sollen...glaub auf dem 2. Album war der auch noch drauf und dann nicht mehr.

Common Sense - Soul By The Pound (Video)

^^^^Auch ganz cool, aber kommt nicht an "Take It Easy" ran...

Common Sense - I Used To Love H.E.R (Video)

^^^^Der bekannteste Song vom 2. Album...sehr netter Song.

Common Sense - Resurrection (Video)

^^^^Noch'n netter Song vom 2. Album...finde das Album wirkt am besten im Ganzen...bin auf alle Fälle im Sommer 95 und auch noch 96 oft mit dem Album im Discman durch die Stadt gelaufen und hab automatisch gute Laune bekommen...echtes Sommeralbum.

Common mit neuem Album

DX: You working on the next album after Finding Forever?
C: Yeah, the new album is called Invincible Summer. It will be out in the later part of June. The music sounds new. It’s really developing. I’m really happy about it. It feels good. It’s not really heavy. The Neptunes are producing a lot of it. Also a producer named Mr. DJ [is on the project]. He did a lot of work with OutKast. He did “Bombs Over Baghdad” and “Ms. Jackson.” These cats are really giving me some new, fresh sounds. I’m taking it somewhere vocally that I haven’t been before. I’m enthused. I’m really excited. I think it’ll be a great summer album. I wanna make people smile and enjoy life. As much as I wanna make them think, it’s important that they smile, too.

abschreckender kann er sein Album aber nicht ankündigen ...neptunes...
und ich dachte es war vor kurzem noch die Message out, dass ein neues Album im November kommt?
