This quietly dropped on iTunes yesterday, new Common compilation of hits from his Geffen albums. Solid lineup of tracks in here, including a new one with Queen Latifah from their movie Just Wright. (which I saw them perform at Highline Ballroom last weekend! Great stuff.)
Don’t have much of Common’s work? Get this, you won’t be disappointed.
Looks like XXL released their list of the top 100 hip-hop websites, and two of them were created by Fishbucket! (that’s 2%, if you need help with the math…)
Here’s the (partial) list:

A few months ago I mentioned a release party I was at for Common’s collaboration with Microsoft on the Softwear line. Here’s a spot with him talking about the thoughts behind it…
Went to a “Microsoft party” last night… They’re putting out a t-shirt line, and Common designed some shirts for it. Microsoft seemed to be trying really hard to be cool. One of the displays was a big timeline of hip hop and Microsoft history, trying to link the two. Featuring a mug shot from when Bill Gates got arrested as a teenager. (street cred!)
The highlight of the night (aside from meeting Common, of course!) was watching Common perform UMC and freestyle with Biz Markie.
here are some photos I took, and a video that I did not take…
thanks val!
Hey look at that, Common has a new website and blog. You should check it out. I had a lot of fun with this one, and so far the reaction has been overly positive!
And this Fishbucket homepage has kind of evolved into more of a bloggy-type page than it used to be. Blogs Blogs everywhere! Will this newer Fishbucket style mean more frequent updates? I wouldn’t bet on it. But I wouldn’t bet against it either. Please be careful betting.
…I stay fresh like I’m wrapped in plastic. Stay tuned, THINK COMMON is coming soon…
