Well I referenced this track briefly in my previous post about the up and coming rhyme heavy Novel and true to my word I’m spread some Common love around today. This track by Common, apparently influenced by Afrika Bambaataa, features Pharrell and is available on Common’s latest album Universal Mind Control (amazon) (itunes). I’m not sure if I’m a fan of the rest of the album. In fact I might be a bigger fan of Common the actor instead of Common the rapper, but one thing is absolutely certain about this track, the beat is absolutely sick. You can’t listen to this track and not love it.

Honestly, the beat on this track is sick. It should be illegal. It’s a song that you simply must hear. Now.

You should hear really early Common tracks. This track is great, but he’s kind of lost his way lately. I recommend “The Sixth Sense,” “Invocation” and “Hungry.” Amazing hip hop
Yeah that beat is sick! Check Common rip this freestyle for 5 minutes at a listening session in houston http://www.pitchcontrol.tv
