Common & Pete Rock On Respect For Hip Hop, LL Cool J, Kendrick, Jennifer Hudson, New Album + More

[@ndujamz]

I really appreciate how Common is not afraid to mention Nas as his favourite. Some rapper's are shook to mention Nas as the great thinking it will upset the other guy. Common is always showing love and paying respect to Nas.. He did it also in Drink Champs.. 2 of my favourite emcees. Nas and Common.

LL Cool J has been influential in the resurgence of classic rap artists. He is showing his peers that they can still do it if they love it, and if they can evolve with the times. LL is the blueprint.

It's crazy that Pete Rock talks about Down with the King..i'm a French bgirl and even though I had been listening to hip hop for a few years but when i listen to the whole down with the king album in '93 (i was 12), i really got into hip hop to the point of obsession. This new Pete Rock & Common (who is on my top 10 list) collab brings back this incredible energy...

[@BackToTheBoomBap]

It's crazy that Pete already had the beats done. Because when you listen to the album, they feel new and like he made them custom for Common.
