19546, BOOM!

There you have it kiddies ... y'all need to sit up an take notice cuz THIS IS THE DIRECTION COM WANTS TO GO!

To me, it sounds dope! I'm all about the experimental shit ... changing shit up. We got TOO much same ol- same ol hip-hop around. Like the man said, go an listen to his old shit if that's what you want to be nostalgic about. I personally could use some more "watery" experimental music around. I'm trying (really hard)to not get tired of hip-hop right now, and am looking to these cats to be on some pioneer shit (my own projected expectations). You think Prince would be where he is today if he stayed to his original formula (ok, bad question, since I know half of y'all are waiting for a return to his glory days ... but I've always been a fan of the more experimental stuff of his as well)? Mofos need to branch out ... take some chances and grow.

Y'all need to be glad that Common's not stuck in a rut ... or some one hit wonder. He's stuck around precisely because of his ability to take some chances. Let the man get way "out there" ... let him pull some sun ra shit ... let him do some freaky Dr. John the Nighttripper meets Yemaya shit ... just LET THE MAN WORK!

love and respect,
El Rey
