Picking up where we left off, Common breaks down each song from his Electric Circus album EXCLUSIVELY FOR OKAYPLAYER.com! This is the complete journey thru the explanations and great insight of each song (all but 'I Am Music' + 'I Got A Right Ta')... ONLY AT OKAYPLAYER.COM Sweet! ~I luv this gig!~
These are AUDIO FILES in Real Player... enjoy!
~ Check out "THE HUSTLE" and get close w/ "COME CLOSE"
~ Comm gets a bit choked-up ending "BETWEEN ME U AND LIBERATION", shares the fun with "JIMMY WAS A ROCKSTAR", and takes us all somewhere with "HEAVEN SOMEWHERE"
For the first few songs on the album... check out the 'Archives'. This all comes at a great time for us all to further absorb the album before checking out the live show on the tour. c ya out there.
This is great. As much grief muthafuckas on this site give this man...he STILL gives. I think you might have something to do with that B. Kyle...going to bat for your site...
Thanks again.

Euphoria is not knowing who one is and not caring. Ecstasy is knowing exactly who one is - and still not caring.

...i mean...BEYOND WORDS! Omar kills it, and Comm's delivery is just as tight as Soul Power (i'm thinking maybe they were recoreded in the same time). But yo..that bridge? The harmonies that Omar brings is SICK!
