17676, Looks like Common will be on Hi-Tek's album
Posted by label_guy, Wed Apr-04-01 03:33 PM
With a new cut which they are finishing. Common "hard-headz" should be satisfied. I'll keep y'all posted. It so new you can't even download it yet.
Also big-up to Tina for the article in FADER. You deserve the accolades for holdin it down.

It was some old sh*t and Com wanted to rock something new.
The "leaked" vinyl is a collectors item though.

It's a narrative as to how he is spotted some people that he's had been with in the past... they confront eachother. When Common states that "I aint a shooter, I just punch a lot" (but it fits within the context of the flow well, trust me).

The guy pulls a gun, but it jams, so common disarms him and piston-whips the guys with the guys own gun. He concludes the track with, "I needed a fight that night, me and my lady had an argument"

It's a 'cut-and-dry' type of 'gotta get shit off my chest' kinda flow for him. We know this track is one big metaphore of some type.

17688, RE: .....that verse is tooooo tight...
Posted by guest, Thu Apr-05-01 12:37 PM
.......best line is "The gun jammed, must a been a nas"
but y'all are talking about Tekzilla. That's not the new ish
.....give us a name and it'll be out there somewhere.
17689, thank you kindly sir B.kyle...

17690, Huh???????
Posted by Brandard, Thu Apr-05-01 01:37 PM
ummmm wait are you describing tekzilla or the new song,

b/c the version of tekzilla that i have, has the same lines you described, the whole pistol whipping thing, everything.....
17691, yeah...tekzilla!
Posted by los79, Thu Apr-05-01 01:53 PM
I still wonder what he means by..."needed a fight that night, me and my lady had an argument"...I followed the whole song nice until I hear this line, then I think there something else going on.

I think its just a metaphor...a comparison..like...u eva have a big a*s fight with ya girl (or boy, whatever ya preference)...and u just leave...and wanna punch da hell outta somebody...or maybe he's saying..thats the mood he was in all day...he went pickin on his girl and had a fight...left there angry...went out and had a fight..ya know....nuthin too deep i dont think..but definately some ish to relate to..Peacce

there's some new tracks with common on the mic and hi-tek on the beat and it's not tekzilla...and not's on napster..why? 'cause there probably isn't even a version of it outside the studios...highly possible it was recorded in the past wekk or two.
