Video: Common Promises Return To Raw Hip-Hop on Next LP
Posted by Shamz on Oct 14, 2009
Here's some great news that I'm sure y'all will appreciate as well. Common recently did an interview with MTV discussing his upcoming album, The Believer. Com says with this LP, he's getting back with Chi-Town producers No I.D., Kanye West, and Twilite Tone to craft that raw hip-hop sound. There's no release date as of now for Com's upcoming 9th solo LP.

That is so cliche(ish) "I am bring that raw hip hop." That's just like cats use to say or still say "I am taking it to that next level." I don't expect Common new album to come nowhere near "Can I Borrow A Dollar," or "Resurrection." But at the same time I love Common's music and I am fan so it be purchased when released. On a side note I thought UMC was a good album, he could've left off "Sex 4 Suga" it kind of brought the ablum down IMO.

He's doin the same thing he did after Electric Circus. Going back to the boom bap is not necessarily a good thing....

i gotta agree that MF Doom is 1 of the most overrated in the underground also
he's good but nowhere near the greatest.

Madlib is actually extremely overrated. i guess cause he hung with Dilla/Doom and releases his own beattapes

The king speaks again: ...
I wasn't feeling the last album(but the single was a banger), but common is one of the best hip hop artist that we have. He is the total package...I disagree with the statement that "MF Doom ect..." should do beats for his record. Mf Doom is the most overrated "underground"artist out there. Common will come with another classic. As long as he keeps making "grown folks" Hip Hop then I'm good.

Kray-Z, you're incredibly ignorant. Its been pretty well known that No ID and Ye were crafting this album since before UMC even came out, so BP3 has no relevance whatsoever. Take your Jay-Z stannery outta here

There's only 1 producer Com should be working with, Nicolay. He has that perfect sound to fit Com.
I wanna see Common + Nicolay happening 1 day.
thats the ultimate rapper/producer duo
but only in my hiphop dreams i guess.

It's so obvious that Common wanted Kanye and No I.D. on his album after hearing BP3. I can see the conversation they had, "Oh what up Comm? Now that I'm down with Jay-z, you wanna work with me again?" LOL, Oh well, i ain't mad at that. I'm looking forward to this album.

I got faith in this next album! honestly Umc was jus his attempt to make party music! I can respect that, he wanted his music to be played at shindigs aswell so thats what Umc is and now thats done theres only one way for common to go now! so i have much confidence in this next joint! "What up bitch, its petey Wheatstrow and you dont stop with the hiedi hiedi ho (HI HOE) good bye Hoe, cuz if your lookin 4 a sucka (huh) Im jus another mutha fucka!

Jay Z is wack his flow and rhyme scheme is elementary. You like that trash?lmao Common is 30 times better than Jay z. He fell off since resonable doubt. He can't rhyme as a lyricist anymore just plain garbage. You ever hear dynasty? american gangster? And this new BP3 trash? lmao please Common can still rhyme and he has gotten better with time as a lyricist. Jay copies common and cats like Kweli he says it himself. He just throws wack verses on stuff. Listen and don;t believe the hype

I can honestly say Common was close to reaching that Jay Z level in terms of consistency before he dropped UMC (I prefer common but you can't front on Jay's catalog). I was hoping that joint was better so I could have some good material for my next hip hop debate but he dropped a dud and I had to keep it humble. If he picks the right beats it could be a solid joint. Kanye is off his game right now. But ultimately it's Common's choice....

word up MPH...you know they are more than capable of creating some of the illest "hip hop" style beats but they kind of seem like artists who don't wanna revisit old methods, which I can respect but not necessarily "feel" ya know??

Definately can't wait for him to take it back...Think majority of the hip hop headz miss that Old Common Sound...only if Dilla was still around...ish would def be CRAZY!!! But I still believe in "the BELIEVER" :)

What does "raw" even mean though? Hard beats? Clever and complicated rhymes? Street stories? Common just said on a sneak peek for Current TV's new show Embedded that he constructs his albums while driving around. He said something to the effect that since he's in LA now, he drives up and down the PCH(Pacific Coast Highway).
Word though, Common used to make albums with a 96 Crayola pack and his last couple have been a 32 pack.
