“Your LP couldn’t fuck with my snippet tape!“
Remember when footage came out from Kanye West freestyling at Fat Beats in 1996? Well, now some has surfaced from Common Sense, right before the release of his One Day It’ll All Make Sense album. This was back in 1997 when he was makings records with No I.D. (before they took that 14 year hiatus). As you can see from the clip, he was kicking off the top even back then, much like he does now.
Common had some lines in there, though. Watch him rip it below. Don’t forget his latest album Nobody Smiling is out in stores everywhere now.
“Here’s a clip from Common’s Fat Beats NYC in-store for “One Day It’ll All Make Sense”. The in-store was actually a few days before the album was released so we only had his single for sale that day. We were also pushing No I.D.’s “The Black Album” (w/Dug Infinite) which had come out early that week. This Common album was the last time that No I.D. and Com would do an album together until 2011. Like most in-stores at Fat Beats it was never limited to just the artist who’s in-store it was. Many times other artists would pop in and perform and on this day Lord Sear (Stretch & Bobbito/Shade 45) had stopped by and got on the mic with Common. Shout out to Mista Sinista from the X-Men/X-Ecutioners who not only did all the scratches on Common’s earlier albums, but was present this day to provide the music. In fact, his album “X-Pressions” with the rest of The X-Ecutioners had dropped earlier that week as well.”
