Drop It Like It's Hot

Common's new album BE hits stores tomorrow. Of course plenty of it has been leaked on the internet for some time now.

If you didn't know it already, the album is hot. HOT!! I plan to give a full review later on, but for right now I'll just say that Common is bringing hip hop back to the gritty, street-griot style of its roots. Of course Kanye West's production just makes it all that much the more hotter.

Common was on Jay Leno last week or something like that, performing "Corners," one of the tracks from the new album. Yeah, that's the joint with the Last Poets (I told you the album is hot!).

Common's performance was tight, except I would have liked for him to stop jumping around the stage and bending over so much.
