Earlier this week, rapper/actor/author/philanthro pist Common quietly turned the big 4-0 (thanks to evboogie for the reminder).

Nicola Roberts has had her teeth fixed. Strangely, this seems to be unacceptable cosmetic surgery for Gordon, who has decided to poke fun at her : NICOLA ROBERTS could always join The Beano if her singing career goes up the spout. I'm not sure how a real person would "join" a comic, even if she had teeth. Did I say it was Gordon who was having a go? Oh, no, let me correct that: Her GIRLS ALOUD bandmates have poked fun at her new teeth by nicknaming her Gnashers. Yes, it's "the rest [...]

"I'm chillin with Jays and Common senses, it's crazy when legends and peers are your competition" is a line that fully signifies the growth of Big Sean over the last couple months. In actuality, his first couple singles have been a huge disappointment to me. Plain and simple, I had pretty high expectations for the G.O.O.D. music signee. Now though, finally the man delivers on his new joint, "What Goes Around". Everything is golden here. From the beat, to the confident flow, to the subject matter. Sean has finally stopped making radio BS, to make a track that feels completely authentic [...]
FUCKING AMAZING! Bear & Sea remixed the fuck out of my favorite Common song. I cant wait to hear what Bear & Sea has got in store for us for 2011. I met this girl, when I was 10 years old And what I loved most, she had so much soul She was old school, when I was just a shorty Never knew throughout my life she would be there for me on the regular, not a church girl, she was secular Not about the money, no studs was mic checkin her But I [...]

I've mentioned Brian Coleman's book, Check The Technique in a previous OSM , and once again it is acting the inspiration for today's edition. Coleman covers Common's Resurrection in the book, and that got me wondering if I'd posted any Common (Sense) as part of a past OSM. A quick Google-age indicates I have not, but I thought I'd better start at Common's start with Can I Borrow A Dollar? , an album I still have my cassette copy of. Here's a fun fact about [...]

Unless you're old like me, then probably not… But in my seemingly endless quest to never leave my version of old school jams behind, I did some digging and found something worth sharing. At least I think so. Do you remember Common, when he was Common Sense? Before soda commercials. Before sweater vests and puffy jackets. Before Grammy Awards. Before an acting career, (He's gonna be Green Lantern in The Justice League movie!!!) Before all that… Common was 20 years old, the year was 1992, the album was "Can I Borrow a Dollar?" [...]

Warren G - Do You See This version of Warren G's "Do You See" has a fucking fire beat. It might be better than the original. Tha Mexakinz - Burnin' Hot Not many people were up on tha mexakinz when they dropped, but their LP had joints. Seriously. Common Sense The "Thump Mix" version of "soul by the pound" is fly, try to deny it.
despite declining sales, labels continued to throw money and effort into album promotion instead of finding new and creative ways to make money from music. which is now basically free, let's face it. i enjoyed these the most of all the comebacks last year. download the comebacks of 2008 anthony hamilton - the day we met consistent and underrated, anthony hamilton's new album 'the point of it all' is a little more punchy, i think, than his previous efforts. it's worth seeking [...]
