COMMON – “War” (Audio) #ThrowbackThursday via @lisafordblog
One of the best songs Common created, "War", for some strange reason isn't featured on his latest album, "Nobody's Smiling"... which is why it was a must that I posted it on this blog. The production sounds like something wicked from a 60's or 70's horror flick laced with Common's diabolical lyricism.

COMMON Has The DOPEST Song Ever Recorded In HIP HOP #JustSayin’ {LIVE PERFORMANCE}
I've been listening to a ton of music the past couple weeks. Of course old-school all day long because it's simply the best. However, I'm listening to new-school too. As long as it is the dopest out there, I can handle it. So far I like that new Kanye's, "Mercy" and his remix on Chief Keef's, "I Don't Like".
