Last night New York City’s Terminal 5 hosted the final stop of the Hennessy Artistry Tour which included surprise performances by Bilal, Don Omar (viva reggaeton!), Consequence, Karen Wheeler of Soul II Soul, Q-Tip, and Queen Latifah, as well as mixology scientists, Common and The Roots. We arrived a little later than we wanted to, but were able to get the full scoop from our main man about town The Good Reverend Dr., who coincidentally has probably attended more Roots concerts than anyone who isn’t in the actual band.

Common Is Funky, Also A Hip-Hop Junkie
- story THE FADER
Listening to Common’s new Universal Mind Control, we do laud his continued embrace of the short hip-hop album (only ten songs!), but we wonder when exactly Greg Nice became his lyrical spirit animal. We definitely didn’t see that one coming in ’95.

- story THE FADER
Common’s new album Universal Mind Control was, according to the man himself, recorded for summertime listening and good times but has since seen its release date pushed from June to September to November 11th. That ain’t summertime and some would argue these aren’t the goodest of times. However, now that we’re actually getting into the ice cold techno of the eponymous first single and Hype’s Minority Report/I, Robot-ish video, we gotta say it might be for the best that this is coming out when the weather traps people in cars and clubs and we’re all gonna have to work like machines to stay in business.
