Common Performs “Celebrate” on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon

Jan 13, 2012, 9:02pm Mind Inversion

Common recently dropped by Late Night With Jimmy Fallon to perform his most recent single "Celebrate" off his latest album The Dreamer/The Believer ; as usual, the Roots did an amazing job of bringing the instrumentals put forth by No I.D. to life. "Celebrate" is by far my favorite track off of The Dreamer/The Believer ; to me, it's the epitome of a feel-good song, and furthermore, it's the type of track that makes me proud to be a fan of Hip-Hop. Even though The Dreamer/The Believer was a late [...]

Common Performs “Celebrate” With Roots on Fallon

Jan 13, 2012, 9:25am Potholes In My Blog

After winning the People's Choice Award (does anyone actually care about that show?) for favorite late night television host, Fallon brings on Common to perform the upbeat "Celebrate" backed by The Roots. While most of the latest album from Common is filled with ferocious boom-bap tracks, "Celebrate" is the catchy, pop single that the MC always seems to throw in his albums. One way or another, though, he pulls it off graciously, often times being the album favorite. The Dreamer, The Believer is out now via Warner Bros. Records . [...]

Common - Celebrate [Music Video]

Jan 3, 2012, 12:43pm Dank Radio

Common: Official Don't expect anything but the best from Chi-Town's greatest, COMMON. The Dreamer/The Believer was the best way for me to top off my 2011. The 12 tracks on the album were the soulful inspiring vibrations that moved me into a new place and prepared me for a new year of epic growth and extraordinary adventures. Celebrate was the first track I heard from the album and it immediately caught my attention. With each listen it feels as if Common unveils a new rhyme and new sounds from NO I.D.'s production are felt. Thank [...]

DAILY NEWS: Common Stays True Throughout White House Controversy

Dec 26, 2011, 10:09pm The Word Is Bond

Common's new album, The Dreamer, The Believer, recently dropped and he spoke to Rolling Stone about the White House controversy and how it affected his most recent album. If you're not privy to the controversy I'm talking about, once the White House released their intentions to have Common perform Fox News ran what was basically a smear campaign. Here is Common to Rolling Stone: “I found out what FOX was saying and it didn’t hit me personally,” he continued. “It was just that I was caught up in this political crossfire, and [...]

Common, The Dreamer

Dec 20, 2011, 10:28pm Factory Made Future

It's fitting that the best year the hip hop scene has had in recent memory approaches its end with a release from one of the genre's most legendary figures. Common has become much more than just a rapper over the past decade. He has conquered acting, modeling, and being one hell of a role model and outspoken champion of human rights. All that said, it has been awhile since he released an album that really hit me upside the head the way his classics did. Well, today he released "The Dreamer/The Believer" and I'm proud to say it's [...]

Common – The Dreamer/The Believer

Dec 20, 2011, 9:17pm AudioCred

When some of the most popular music publications on the Internet began posting their picks for the “Best Albums of 2011,” I allowed myself a little “I do my job better than you do” smile.  Why?  Because publishing a “Best Albums of 2011” list before December 20, the day that Common’s The Dreamer/The Believer drops, is a bit like handing out medals for snowboarding at the Winter X Games before Shaun White takes his runs.  Premature is an understatement. Is The Dreamer/The Believer the best album of the entire year?  No, I stand by [...]

Dec 20, 2011, 1:33pm Archetype

As Common's new album is hitting stores world wide, Maya Angelou expresses her disspointment with the title track "Dreamer." REad comments from Maya and Common below: Maya: “I had no idea that Common was using the piece we had done together on [a track] in which he also used the ‘N’ word numerous times. I’m surprised and disappointed. I don’t know why he chose to do that. I had never heard him use that [word] before. [...]

The Report Card Review: Common – The Dreamer The Believer

Dec 19, 2011, 1:25pm Your Strongest Ally

Despite earning a reputation as one of the most respected lyricists in hip-hop, Common is still in a sense underrated. Any time there is a top emcee list, his name doesn’t always ring a bell with many people, myself included. I enjoy his music, but for whatever reason, I don’t place him in a higher echelon than I should. That being said, his catalogue is very solid with only one real dud in Universal Mind Control ( Electric Circus can also be considered coaster music depending on who you ask). So here he is with [...]
