"For Use of Common Knowledge" -Common Lights Up A Room... 2008 Watts

Being necessary in Hip Hop is a hard thing to maintain, yet Common manages to make this task look effortless. Recently at the Smirnoff shebang Common perform a NEW take on his hit
"the Light". So just like any good blogger would do, the Minority Report tracked it down so that you too can enjoy a listen. Produced by Just Blaze, with a hook sung by former Floetry member, you will start hearing his timeless lyrics in a different "light."

"Flashing Lights"-Paparazzi Pics (Pt.11 & 1/2)

Before I even get into what where these picture are from,
Imma need you to put your mother f'n hands together for (cue drum roll)
Kristen Frazier (Corner Stone Marketing!)
With out her you'd just be looking at words right now (lol).
Now, on to the show! Last night was part two of my crash course
in true Hip Hop (pt.1 beginning Tues. Smirnoff concert)!
The Legendary Pete Rock, Wade & Company, Rhymefest,
Black Thought, Erick Sermon, Royal Flush, Styles P,
Lordz of the Underground, and
Some random white dude doing a really good drunk Kanye
impression, were all the things I got to witness first hand.
You get to see the pictures:

"Flashing Lights" -Paparazzi Pics (Pt.10)

After coming down from the high of the Smirnoff concert it was off to the next "fix." Stopped through to the after work shindig at
Vento (Hudson & W. 14th St.) where drinks and massages were the flava of the day...Dope spot btw, really intimate setting.
Killed time (and brain cells drinking), then made a scheduled guest appearance at (Bad Boy artist) Cheri Dennis' release party over at Home (27th and 10th Ave). It was ZOO YORK! Hands down, it was a great end to a good night. I've done you the favor of bringing back some flicks.

"Flashing Lights" -Paparazzi Pics (Pt.9)

Try as you may,but I seriously doubt that you will EVER attend a launch party event (Smirnoff Mixer Series) of this caliber!
It was just that hot! "Fire from the stove" is the NEW saying.
Q-tip killed it first with his Tribe classics, followed by Common
doing every hit that he's known for. Then the "Blast Master" destroyed the stage! Melle Mel, Grand Master Flash,
Positive K and others made history joining him on stage!
I'm still amped as you can tell from all the exclamation points!
Peep the exclusive pics.

"Get Into the Party Life"-Tues. is the NEW Fri.

I'm not one to brag but, I'll be attending the hush hush Smirnoff event that going down tonight that's gonna be huge! Look at the names performing on the invite...
bananas right?!?
If you'll be there give me a holla, I'll "shoot" you and blog you later. If you're not going to be there, fear not I have something almost as good.
If you're free after work and in need of a good massage and listen to great music, well I got both at VENTO (14th St. Hudson & 9th Ave.) located downstairs just show up. Then afterwards, we're headed to HOME (27th and 10th & 11th Ave.) for Bad Boy artist Cheri Dennis album release party. So start call work to take off Wed. it'll be a long GREAT night!
