A Brief Look at Common and Nas Talking about “Ghetto Dreams”
Posted by Miss Info under About Miss Info , Crony-ism , Good For Hip Hop , Videos[13] Comments
I’m not crazy about promo clips and trailers, especially when they contain longer credit sequences than actual commentary….so that said, this short video of Nas and Common in the studio working on “Ghetto Dreams” (off Common’s upcoming The Dreamer The Believer album) is a bit of a tease. Here’s a summary: Nas was happy to work with Com.
But there’s something still exciting about seeing these two guys together, I imagine they probably got along great, and talked in soft voices about lots of funny memories. I have my own fond memory of giving Common a tape-cassette dub of Nas’ Illmatic many years ago, and of us raving about how great it was. Love that guy.
Great throwback photo of the two of them which is being using as the single art too….

Why do u always seem to have something bad to throw in to ur comments when it comes to Nas? Never fails. I love Kanye and everybody, so this is not a bash on them, but I feel like u dickryde Kanye, 50, and especially Jay all the time. I feel like u resent Nas for some reason. Like even tho he hasn’t sold as much records, he’s still considered just as much a heavy weight and is just as much respected as those guys and it bothers u or something. U’re so annoying man. If u ain’t big on Nas cool. But u have Nas fans that might log on to ur site to see Nas updates, so please consider us and stop commenting on Nas posts please. U seem to have some type of issue with him.

seriously, if that guy is talking to me, and fictionalizing some fantasy diss in this post I will friggin’ go postal. That is exactly the worst kind of blog reader. Mainly because they don’t read, they just make up things in their loopy peasized heads.

For ANYONE to speak ill of Info regarding her views on Nas means not just dont you reader whats here now but you need to do your history.
With that said, I’m with you Info as it relates to video preview trailers. But I’d take seeing these 2 legends at work over a 3 month 7 part over blown Young Money/Cash Money/We Da Best/MayBach Music hype job for a video style that been done 100 times in the past 2-3 years.

I really like Nas and Common making music together. That pic is crazy too, they were so young. BTW, I’m not quite sure who dude was talking to or about either. Went completely over my head.
