Circa 91-92, and straight from FSD, this is Common Sense‘s demo tape that got him in The Source Magazines’ Unsigned Hype column. No ID is said to confirm this.
In other Common related news, while it seems very premature to even be talking about it while we wait for Universal Mind Control (which we found out has been been moved to a 12/9 street date), word has it that Com’s album to FOLLOW U.M.C. (his 9nth to date) will be produced by No ID and Kanye West. So for those of you hatin’ on all the recent Pharell production, you have something to look forward to.

thats fresh NO ID …
You guys are the best. Thanks for that tape.
link not working for me. feel free to send demo to me.
I’ve been scouring all over the Internets for this.
Wow, NO ID and Kanye, unfortunately I’m thinking about the 9th album already LOL
geez.
just cant do anything without Kanye now in days ehhh?
LOL!
can someone plz send it to chris341644@aol.com
he shoulda stuck with NO ID to begin with
thanks Okayplayer iv been looking for this for a long time. uv just made my day here in wet old cork Ireland.
we got our google on for a good hour looking for a scan of that unsigned hype with common, or a picture from around that time period. nothing really turned up. we have some pretty old pics on a drive somewhere. the above is clearly LWFC era, circa 1999. RIP Mpozi
WHO THE HELL is hatin on Pharrell production?! Honestly, no diss to Kanye, but Common should stop doin Kanye produced albums. The last 2 or 3 times Common dropped an album, Kanye jus followed it up w/ HIS solo album, takin pub away from Commons shine! Com can shine on his own, w/o Kanye. Pharrell and other production is a g.o.o.d. look (heh heh)
Common Sense wa super dope know hes just Common and gone with Kanya he is Wack
imagine a whole album by common produced by premier
This sounds like a cross between the Pharcyde and Das EFX. This demo can’t be looked at through today’s lense but I’m glad Common got better.
ahhh..now that’s the common sense i know.. this is some good ish right here.
Link aint working for me too…can someone send it to me?

I haven’t even heard the demo yet, but no matter…if it’s dope or if it’s whack, it’s still Rasheed!!! Don’t hate on REAL hip hop…
YO this mixtape is hott i haven’t even heard the rest of the tracks but i hear ynot on the first track with common, and you know he killed it, its nice and soulful
He needs to stop playing and just let 9th Wonder produce an album…….it just seems to me that they are a perfect fit. Soulful rhymes mixed with soulful beats. But then again maybe hip-hop isn’t ready for that…..
does anyone kno where 2 get this link from mine is not working and the one that does work is a rar file ish is wack yo
