Common tapped Nas for his latest single “Ghetto Dreams,” but as previously reported, the duo has much more in store. Speaking with Hard Knock TV, Com Sense reiterated that their collaborative LP is still in the works and that it originated as a mixtape titled Nas (Dot) Com.
“At some point, we will do that. We’d talked about it and we had a good idea to call it Nas (Dot) Com. That was actually going to be a mixtape at one point,” he revealed. “But we decided that we should make it an album. And we will. Nas is working on his album right now and my album is coming, November 22nd.”
He also spoke on his current standing with G.O.O.D. Music, explaining that although his upcoming album The Dreamer, The Believer won’t release on the label, he’s still part of the family.
“I’m still G.O.O.D Music affiliated, for sure. I’ll always be,” he said. “Me and ‘Ye, that’s my brother. I’m still part of the whole G.O.O.D. Music family. It’s not coming out through the G.O.O.D. Music label, but I’m still always associated. I’m still part of G.O.O.D. Music.”
Watch the full interview below, where he also speaks on working with No I.D., a potential Soulquarians album and more.

I doubt this will happen what happend to the Q-tip and common Collab
Cause QTip fell the fuck off. I love ATCQ but thats the facts.
the hell with Jay/Ye and Drake/Wayne…
Com and Nas will show them what Hip Hop is all about.
Common, Talib, most def… when they come together, its nothing short of incredible
If I could get an entire album of Ghetto Dreams quality material from those two I would be very happy.
No question the kid is nice and no doubt he gets busy- I’m not talking about him but Ali Lafayette Rhea. One Love
what is this the new trend, eminem & royce then suddenly kanye and jay z now its nas and common
Yeah but Nas and Common will shit on those albums.
I guess Collabo albums are trending, with the state of music sales and record label budgets its a way to capitalize on budgets and fanbases. But collabos been going on for a minute
Mos and Kweli
Red and Meth
Has, Foxy and AZ
Freeway and Jake One
JDilla and Madlib
Madlib and Kweli
jayz and Kelly
The list goes on now a lot of them are independan, cuz it cut costs and capitalizes resources…more major mc’s are now just using an indepent model with the state of the business
actually, Nas and Damian were b4 ye & Jay
at first it was Nas and Damian n these guys came after
Nas(Dot)Com
This album (if anything like ghetto dreams) will be critically acclaimed as an amazing album, but since most kids sleep on real rappers and bump that other bullshit, it will never get proper publicity or recognition.
oh shit sounds good as fuck. hope labels dont keep this from happening or make it take forever
Hope this happens. Just for real hiphop listeners. Who cares if it hits mainstream. they deserve to keep on listening to the bullshit. Nas can be lazy at times but Common is consistent. So i think he will push nas for it to happen
real hip hop is still alive through cats like common
I blame the Miami Heat for these collaboration albums I hope this really comes out though
Damn… Em and Royce, Jay and Ye, Cole and K Dot, now Nas and Com…
NAS AND DAMIEN MARLEY ALREADY MADE A COLLAB…. THEY AINT BITING WATCH THE THRONE!!!! WATCH THE THRONE WAS A PIECE OF SHIT ANYWAY.
Nas and Common to do collab album “Nas (Dot) Com”?SMFH:It would be the end of the world:I doubt this will happen:TOO godly to be true:
Yo, this sound great…I think its a time where MCs should get along more. its feelin like the old school, u know,when hip hop was all about the crew,clan,gang or clique…it still is so,but i mean not on the real…peace…DA M!!!
(stares blankly at screen)
Thank you, God.
Nas And Common r 2 of the best spitters besides Em, Im A Jigga Fan But lyric 4 lyric he dond even come close 2 Nas.4gt the swag and everything else they is No Jigga Album witch can go lyric 4 lyric with Illmatic.
Why nas keep fonting on A, all tru fans know that the collabo album ****** been waiting on is Nas & Az. Nas & Common, cool but Nas need to stop frontin Az.
Nas & AZ had chemistry about 15 years ago. A collabo album of them would be forced as fuck, uninspired and dull. Gladly, that this won’t happen.
Just what the rap game needs…
Id rather have Andre 3000, D.O.C., Jay Electronica,common and Erykah Badu do an album
Blackout3? hey yo meth nigguh,lets hit the studio. bring sum mathafaking tical weed bruh. holla at rebel Ins
really nas? you gonna do an album with common? you dont even flow togather well. Thats like Lil Wanye with Eminem. Everybody know you and AZ would make a good duo but you want to do with common? GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE pissed the fuck offf!!!!!
LOL. Nas & AZ don’t have chemistry. A collabo album of them would be whack as fuck, because it would sound fucking forced the whole way through. Nobody cares about that. An album like that would be dope if it was released 1997.
well your a faggot they clearly didnt flow together on ghetto dreams…also you dont always have to flow to be successfull fuckin homo dont buy it then dickhead
Yeeees, I can’t believe that this is truly happening. First ”The Dreamer, The Believer”, then ”Life Is Good” and now this. WOW. This is one of the best times in a long ass time. Nas and Common are both some of the best poets of all time.
i love common dudes the man cant wait for his album and the nas colabo
”nas bizzare at best unfulfilled promises”-victory lyrics
Collabs are a nice trend if brothers rhyme futuristic, not trendy.
I hope Nas steps it the fuck up. It would be every bad look to be outshined again after Damian destroyed him for an hour.
what the fuck album where YOU listening to? nas dismantled damien..
* a very
Ten plus years ago a Soulquarians album would’ve been one of the best things I could think of. Nowadays with the Kanye affiliations and the music being what it is, not so sure.
Nas LOST
dope mc common
Common >>> Nas. I’m tired of talented artists working with overrated fags like Nas.
Nas dropped more shitty verses than I can count. LOL. People getting all wet because he released one classic years ago.
Get a life and stop leaving the same Nas hate comments over and over fag.
how many classics did ur fav rapper kreashawn release?
i bet ur moms get wet for nas
I favor rappers who don’t need gimmicks and lies to market their product.
Nas and Common strange combo???? Remember when Nas was pushing kilos of coke in the 90’s like a fake Rick Ross and shooting at people.
get off nas dick. dude made 1 good album, oops i mean 1 good EP named illmatic
Exactly. Dude got deserved hate for years, because he dropped nothing but gimmick marketed garbage, drops a few mediocre albums, fails at selling out and gets called GOAT out of nowhere. LOL. Nas is a slim version of Rick Ross, I have been saying that for years.
u obviously a poor hater with no job.u either young or too lame to understand.it was written was one of the mafioso rap albums released in the 90s.it was an era where mcs used fictitious mafia themes in thier records. everybody who was hot around 95,96,97from ny did mafioso records. big,nas,jay z,raekwon,az,ghost to name a few and it was written was a fuckin classic.i bet u never heard of the song i gave you power.u know nothin about hip hop
All of Nas’ albums are classic. Get off Jay-Z’s dick. lol
he never sold out like ur fav rapper, bitch and he has sold over 20 million records worldwide
Someone who defends Nas for his poor attempt at mafioso-themed songs should NEVER claim to know ANYTHING about Hip Hop.
All of Nas’ albums are classic. LOL. You’re delusional beyond belief, get a reality check, you fucking queer. Listening to Nas in 2011 is like fucking a retard.
i fucked ur mom and she is a retard
Kill yourselves, you circle-jerking Nas fans. Nas is a loser and attracts nothing but losers.
All of you getting mad shows how right I was.
no we mad bacause it hurts to think of an individual as pathetic as u
Your insults won’t change the truth. Nas is terrible, can’t rhyme for shit and every single underground rapper would rap circles around his uneducated ass.
uneducated!!! u did nt even finish kindergarten
even college professors talk and write books about nas. go read born to use mics by micheal eric dyson
That book was dope.
@ bronxnite
dont talk shit i listen rap since 1986 so what the fuck are you talking. dont teach me! Nas is a contradicted rapper who says today money isnt important and the next day money is my bitch
it was written isnt a classic dumbass. back in 1996 the fans were disappointed that he became some fake ass mafiadon instread of following the illmatic way. but you dont know that because because you werent born then.
nigerian?
Remember when nas called himself Nas Escobar and now everybody is dissing rick ross because ross is fake. and what about phony mobb deep
u just mad rick ross is hot.at least he has a job u dont have one
i have a job dumbass
^mc donalds is hiring moron^
I hope Common leaves that dumb idea alone and surrounds himself with someone who fits him and is worthy of his talent. Nas’ incoherent, nursery-rhymed and complete lack of good wordplay shit-talking on Ghetto Dreams was enough.
hahahaha hater!! go jerk off
LOL. I don’t hate a broke ass sucker for love. I just like to give you mainstream blinded fags a sense of reality.
^ pussy
^ pussy ^
^ pussi ^
^ butthole^
^ u re puss^
Nice argument.
ANONYMOUS ^^^; you give yourself away when you describe Nas with ‘nursery rhymes’ lol… clearly the same dbag in loser denial that Nas is a GOAT contender… oh yeah… who did Common say was his favorite emcee in a recent DX article? NAS…. FAIL
Thanks for the only Nas fan who is able to construct a proper argument. You guys shouldn’t take this too seriously. Even though I like to make fun of him sometimes, he’s still one of my favorie rappers.
It’s so much fun to shit on this clown Nas and his delusional fans. It works everytime. LOL.
hahaha! u re shitting on ur self clown
ur moms pussy works all the time
Keep listening to mainstream garbage, you fucking sheep.
HEY GUYS IM AN UPCOMING RAPPER I KNOW YALL SEE THIS SHIT ALL THE TIME AND ARE PROLLY LIKE NIGGA PLEASE BUT I WORK HARD AND WOULD APPRECIATE IF YALL CHECKED ME OUT AND I DONT MIND BAD CRITICISM YOUTUBE=lilkaz604
Two of my favorite rappers coming together for a whole album, backed by the best producers you can imagine. It can’t get any better than this.
It’s desperate to see all these Nas haters, who spending bad times hearing Nas’ evaluation as “GOAT” while their favorite rappers never get credit because of lameness.
Well as Nas says you can hate him forever. You know hater deserves job too.
As much as I’d like the Nas (Dot) Com project to materialize, I can’t see it comin’ to fruition. In the meantime, let’s hope Necro releases his ish with G. Rap soon.
Nas and Common are DOPE!
bad idea common is to intelligent for nas.
Nas is always acting if he’s educated but says things which are not true historically
Get off nas dick. dude had 2 albums which were dope! and always wack beats yes the illmatic beats were also boring with exception of a few
u re stupid and dumb
I can’t believe that after all this time, somebody FINALLY agrees with what I’ve been saying for years: Nas drops historically inaccurate “knowledge” in his rhymes, and people praise him for it. Like when he said Alexander the Great shot the nose off The Sphinx… Alexander the Great didn’t even have cannon!
Nas is cool. But because there are so few real MC’s who are relevant these days, he gets elevated to a level of a Chuck D, or KRS One, or Tupac, and he’s SO NOT THERE!!!
u stupid bitch. alexander the great shot the nose off the phinx. go get a history book
All of these old rappers, trying to advance. Young money bitch, take it like a muthafuckin man!
Looking forward to a new Common album, as well as a collab effort with Nas. Common is one of the last true Mc’s left. Yes his style varies at time but he somehow remains true to himself. As for him leaving Good Music label, I wonder how that decision came about cuz him and kanye have great chemistry. Kanye still has Pusha T, Big Sean, Cyhi da prynce and Kid cudi. btw i got a feeling Cudi will be jumping ship soon to. All the people giving hate to Nas. SHUT UP, The man has 3 classics under his belt: Illmatic,ItWasWritten,and Stillmatic. Even Iam and Streets disciple are better than most albums nowadays. He’s a Legend Period. Ya’ll probably listen to French Montana Gucci Mane and Yo gotti and Rocko Aka Wack people. Holla at me when u Put some Kendrick lamar, Wale, J.cole, Pac Div, and Big krit in your Life Aka Real Hip Hop. Peace
HOLLA AT ME WHEN YOU LOSE VIRGINITY
the album will be sick. two of the dopest rappers of all time together. i knoe the album will be sick as long as No.I.D produces most of the tracks. Nas has to step out of his element for once and open his mind up to new/up to date production. Nasty was nasty but niggas still wanna hear Nas on some fast pace beats like he was on the Carter 4 outro. If they can keep the beats hot and bring the same chemistry they showed on Ghetto Dreams and you already know the lyrics will be on point. expect a classic people.
I agree to an extent homie. I like Nas flows over phat beats, but if he “came out of his element” entirely then it wouldn’t be representing the Nas that real Nasir Jones fans love so much. Though with Common also throwin’ down flows, I can see how this one could be a killer fucking album if it had Drama type production.
Your name suggests the only reason you even heard Nas (Not hating on ya, it just seems your into more mainstream type songs thats all) was because he was on the Carter IV, which was a horrible record, that’s all I’ll say on that.
To reiterate, I’m sure you’ve heard Nas’ Illmatic album, and Wayne is really helping Tech N9ne’s Strange Music Industry get pushed in the public eye so nothin but love on that and regardless of my previous statement, I am fuckin crazy-excited about a Common album, Nas album, and a Common/Nas album.
Common solo, Nas solo & collab albums will all be great
Too fuckin awesome
Nas + anyone = success
Amen.
EXCEPT ON FINANCIAL TIP LOL
smh… nas makes the worst business decisions ever… so fucking disappointing he has become. Common’s gay ass squeaky bullshit delivery needs to stay on them neo-soulquarian cocacola commercials… while he gargle on that tennis players nut sack. fuckin queer… seen his dumn ass wandering melrose, tryna get attention cuz he a fuckin faggot ass herb ass mark ass nigga
^^^ probably a big fan of Common & wanted to work on a song with him but couldn’t face the fact that he’s music sucks & Common didn’t want to work with you.
YAWNNNNNNNNNNNNNN… 2 OLD HEAD ASS GRANDPA ASS NIGGAS TRYIN THEIR BEST TO STAY RELEVANT WITH MORE NAPTIME MUSIC!!! WAKE ME UP WHEN LIL WAYNE & DRAKE DROP THEIR SHIT!!! SERIOUSLY COMMON & NAS: YAWN!
YAWNNNNNNNNNNN!!! WAKE ME UP WHEN LIL WAYNE AND DRAKE DROP THEIR ALBUM TOGETHER!!! WHO GIVES A FUCK ABOUT THESE OLD HEAD ASS NIGGAS!!!!
COMMON & NAS= YOUR GRANDPA TRYING TO LECTURE YOU AND TEACH YOU LESSONS!! GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE!!!
LIL WAYNE & DRAKE>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>NAS & COMMON
Most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard. Nas or Common would lyrically kill either Drake or Weezy. You’ve embarrassed yourself there….
MAYBE THEY WILL… MAYBE THEY’LL JUST FALL ASLEEP IN THE BOOTH CUZ THEY SO OLD!!! THESE NIGGAS ARE SO FUCKING OLD THEY NEED TO SIT DOWN!! BY THE WAY SHUT YOUR FUCKIN MOUTH IN THE FUTURE FAGGOT!!!
This Is The Dumbest shit I Ever Heard. Both Them Nigs Are A Bunch Of Fags!!! To Many Candy Bar Rappers, Not Enough M.C.’s.
Hey Nigie Bitch!!! You Chose To Listen To Fags On The Mic Instead Of Kings. Your Boy Wears Women’s Pants And Kissed Another Man In The Mouth And You Still Fuck Wit Em. What Does That Say About You Since You Like These Two Fags So Much?
YADIG, Only new school, wet behind the ears, just started listening to hip hop, skinny pants, kissin men, would even type something like that.
That’s the problem with this generation, everything your favorite EMCEE is saying and doing has already been done before. Pay Homage little kid, this is why they say HIP HOP is dead, because little fockers like you don’t pay homage and ultimately the art form will be killed by kids that kiss each other and wear tight pants.
lil wayne kiseed birdman
drake sucked a guys dick
the proof is on youtube
