New Common - Make My Day and What A World

Common - What a World feat Chester French

Common - Make My Day feat Cee-Lo

Common’s Universal Mind Control is still slated for release on December 9th, although I wouldn’t be surprised if it got pushed back again. So far, it’s getting a lukewarm reception from the blogosphere, and very little radio play. Of course, I actually like most of the tracks that have leaked including the two above. However, I’m that strange kid that loved Common’s Electric Circus too, so take my words with a grain of salt.

I’m growing to like this song, even though the video is a tad suspect.

Invincible Summer Universal Mind Control drops next month.

I couldn’t stand this song when I first heard it, but I predict that this track will be a club sensation. The Neptunes really did a good job capturing the essence of early hip-hop with this track even if Common’s rapping skills are so-so.

And of course, there are…wait for it…ROBOTS! I actually predicted that it would be some type of futuristic type thing, but the robots look like rejects from that Will Smith movie.

Common feat. Pharrell - Universal Mind Control

As a fan of Electric Circus I was prepared to be excited by Common’s new “electro” tinged album, but this track is weak. I don’t know what it is that I hate about this song, but I think it has less with the electro production and more with Common’s rhymes. I’m sure that this track will grow on me, however.
