Common Selects Lead Single for ‘Invincible Summer’

Wednesday, May 28, 2008
By: Mike Ivey Jr.


CommonEmcee/Actor Common and Geffen Records reportedly like the up-tempo “Universal Mind Control (U.M.C.)” as a first-single for Common’s eighth LP ‘Invincible Summer,’ due in July.

"This is the type of music I felt was missing from my body of work," says Common about the Neptunes produced song that features Pharrell Williams in its chorus. "I created this music for the summertime. It's about feeling good.”

‘Invincible Summer’ is chiefly produced by The Neptunes (N.E.R.D., Jay-Z, N.O.R.E.) and Outkast producer Mr. DJ. Kanye West, who supplied soundscapes for Common’s last two critical and commercial hits, ‘Be’ and last year’s ‘Finding Forever,’ is not featured on ‘Invincible Summer.’

Common appears in the films ‘American Gangster’ and ‘Street Kings,’ with Forest Whitaker and Keanu Reeves.

Common will forever be one of the greats lyrically. He don't need that space soundin ish from pharell the fruit loop to move units. Nowadays with downloadin ish, ipod bull ish, to go 300k or gold is a blessing. He gettin that acting cake like mos def and dem , now that's where the real paper at !

Ok common your a sell out "real rap isnt played on the radio, real rap isnt in stupid movies" if you where a true new york rapper you wouldnt be hanging with the commercial crew. You started as common sense now ur just a sell out thanks

Fu ck nobodysmiling man every body is smiling. This site is run by mocked ass bi t c h e s. Well, thanks to the fans who posts messages iread them everyday keep on. The management of this site is lame. Im the h, i said that. Tmz is in the air, hip hop havoc is on top. Sohh is ten times better than this. A month without an update ban this site now! im the hydro babe i say how i feel i dont give a shi t.

I hope he can get it back up to be level. Finding forever was straight, but far from classic. I don't want to mess around and start hearing common music on digitalfuntown. Bring it back com. .digitalfuntown/

First of all jeff common isn't a real new york rapper he is a real chi town mc. Just because he's done a few movies does'nt mean he's a sellout it means his talent and options are growing. What do you think he's suppose to be making rap records all his life? life is about growing and maturing not standing in the same place all your life.

The neptunes is not made up of "nerd, nore, and jay-z". Its pharrell williams and chad hugo.

Common has made his mark in the game. He don't need album sales anyway cause for one he's an actor, and he made 10 million in music alone. He good!

Umc track is dope. Dancing with the stars showcased his song to robotic dance routine. I love it when electro, hip-hop, and modern sounds get mixed like that! .youtube/results?search_ty pe=search_videos&search_sort=relevance&s earch_query=universal+mind+control&searc h=search

I love how upset people get when they think they know something about absolutely nothin. So you know something about "hip hop"? they say those who know dont tell. Do me a favor for future generation try not to limit hip hop to your own understanding. Half brain using ****now im getting upset hahaha. Im out.
