Common - Blue Sky
Artist: Common
Producer: No I.D.
Album: The Dreamer, The Believer
Label: Think Common Music Inc./Warner Bros.
This sounds about right. Nah, not the fact that Common is dropping his ninth studio album. No, not the fact that No. I.D. did the damn thing. But hearing something that sounds like a fleet of God-like beings emerge on the scene just simply fits today’s epically oriented culture. Following first single Ghetto Dreams, from his upcoming album The Dreamer, The Believer, Common delivers a triumph track of the Armageddon with Blue Sky. Stretching past defiance and moving into self-proclamation, Common’s long career of raising black fists and poor righteous teachings have evolved into a simple recognition of who he is, no lane needed. With No I.D. on the production, Blue Sky revives the sound that we remember from Common’s past records, sampling Electra Light Orchestra’s own Mr. Blue Sky and adding enough elements to reintroduce a classic track to a generation that needs a hint of hip and a bit of hop to their lifestyle. Stay tuned as the November 22 release of Common’s The Dreamer, The Believer arrives by way of Warner Bros, his first album release at his new label home.

 This is why Common is still revered in today's industry as one of the best to ever do it. No I.D. is a musical genius and Common takes his water and turns it into wine. Love the sample. Tastefully done and refreshing.

Common + No I.D. + ELO = Classic

So this is hopefully evidence that TDTB will be better than Universal Mind Control.
Amazing song, period. |

no id does a gr8 production, catchy and allows common to kill it. common delivers a gr8 flow and proves that he still got it until now.
gr8 song, almost a classic, but ghetto dreams is slightly better due to nas on it. |

No I.D. killed it on the production and Common came correct. Much better than Universal Mind Control, album had some joints, but this and "Ghetto Dreams" are building good hype for The Dreamer, The Believer. I'll be checkin for that.

Wow. That might be one of the best Common songs I've heard.
I always felt Common just needed to develop more edge and tension in his game to continue his evolution as an MC. Well done, 4.5 stars |
