Common may seem in good spirits following the release of his ninth album The Dreamer, The Believer, but he had to overcome some emotional obstacles to record it. During an interview with KEPR CBS 19, the Chicago, Illinois rapper said that he wasn’t inspired for the project.
“I hadn’t figured out what I was going to do, what label I was going to work with,” said Com, who split with Universal Music following the release of 2008’s Universal Mind Control. “I wasn’t inspired.”
Com says that he credits No I.D., who produced the entirety of the album, for helping him overcome his emotional low.
“He was willing to be like, `Yo, let’s go! Let’s get it. Let’s go get on this hip-hop,”‘ he said. “So I think that meant a lot to me and from there we just continued to grow.”

Common was in Street Kings too though, which is one more box-office movie than your black-ass hermit Wayne ever coulda starred in
and Common actually dissed Ice Cube… Wayne can’t even have a shot at Jay-Z without claiming it’s “playful banter” and means nothing
Drake can’t even respond to Luda/Common either. aka shut your monkey ass up, talkin about who ain’t sweet
Soicyboy that was some hot garbage you just spit lol. Your obviously wack, and uninformed when it comes to hip hop… STFU you make rap look very bad! Again your seriously lacking in skills, you suck, you should be ashamed, so icy…,GTFOH LOL
5 LETTERS: YMCMB.

he ain’t in it no more. like 3000. it’s all good though. but firing shots at a guy who has 10 toes deep in the game is insulting.
if it’s 10 nail-polished toes, it’s justifiable
LOOOOL true that etk
here’s a pretty thorough review of Common’s Album, which is easily one of the best of the year in my opinion.

I am a fake attention seeking child. Just wanted everyone to know.
good to know, Weezy and Baby kiss. Common kills fags
Yeah, Universal Mind Control was ** SUPER ** inspired!!
Hire another WHITE ghost writer for your “autobiography” you ignorant coon.
i like all of Common’s albums except Electric Circus and Universal Mind Control(tho punch drunk love was entertaining). all i hope is that it’s better than Universal, that shit dribbled in techno, just doesn’t fit Common for me. plus it lacked enough consciousness for me…
