Old Joints
Common – “The Believer (Alternate Version)”
Another outtake from Com’s The Dreamer/ The Believer, which is on track to sell between 55-65k units in it’s first week. We can do better than that – Young Jeezy’s TM:103 Hustlerz Ambition is set to do 200-225k. If you don’t support it, don’t complain that it’s dead….

I copped my copy of the joint the first day it dropped. True heads don’t always support artists they like but love to bitch about the wack cats that move units. Step up or STFU..
damn right, i can’t believe all the hate im hearing regarding this album – yeah true it’s not an underground classic, but god damn this album is dope.
what is it we’re waiting for? there’s alot of good music out there – especially recently
Hell yeah – I even hit Target to get the 2 bonus tracks.
Man ya dudes Wack that album is trash the Maya Angelou track is the dopest it’s okay to say it it happens to your favorite rappers all the time I’m a lil older then alot of y’all so I already know how to deal with the fact your favorite rapper is no longer relevant I was a great lover of Communism music but at this point he needs to stop before he tarnish his career my daughter shouldn’t come to me saying Comm is Wack because he’s still putting out albums years past his prime I.E. Krs One!! Anyway if anything he should sprinkle us with joints here and there but I just don’t think he’s first string material anymore even the greats can be shifted to make good 6 man but Comm playing all 4 quarters days are OVER SoRRy!!!
I can’t believe it. Hiphopsite is pushing people to buy a Common album? I’ve never seen one Common thread on this sight. Unreal. Who would’ve thought?
Pizzo, we get it. You like Common.
All I have to say is why is it only in genre of Hip Hop music that older artists get no respect??? I guess it goes along with all the other ignorance and stupidity that come with a lot of the fans and artists. I love Hip Hop but honestly most of it and the fans disgust me… Do you read blogs where Classic Rock fans are saying Paul McCartney fell off and needs to hang up the mic??? Do you hear hate on Stevie Wonder or David Byrne? I mean this bulls#$t needs to stop! And @Lizzy if you think KRS-One fell off go peep his latest video “Just Like That” here or on YouTube and tell me he fell the F#$k off!!! His new LP is shaping up to be the best work he’s ever done! I really HATE when I hear people talking about this emcee or that emcee is washed up just cause they are older! Respect your elders and the great poets of this culture and if you don’t than I say: F#$K YOU!!! YOU ARE NOT HIP HOP AND DO NOT REPRESENT WHAT THIS CULTURE IS ALL ABOUT!!! YOU ARE AN IGNORANT SIMPLE MINDED FOOL THAT FOLLOWS TRENDS, HAS NO OPINION OF THEIR OWN AND ARE JUST A SHEEP IN SOCIETY!!! YOU PROBABLY DISRESPECT YOUR OWN MOM AND DAD TOO!!!
Sorry for the rant but it really gets to me…
Oh and back to the subject at hand Common’s new LP is dope! I have said before I am not the biggest fan of all the R&B choruses but this is still a great LP!!!
