I just got this in my inbox like 2 minutes ago. After watching it and getting bored within the first minute, I’m glad Kanye went with the first version! This second version is garbage…

Common is releasing a new album this year and the name of the album is to be called, Invincible Summer (G.O.O.D./Geffen), which is due sometime in July. The new track “Universal Mind Control” featuring and produced by Pharrell Williams. The beat is crazy! It feels like something you would expect from Kanye. It’s different for Common but I like it! The track sounds like it’s sampled from Afrika Bambaataa’s “Looking For The Perfect Beat”.

New music from Ashanti has hit the web from her latest and upcoming album, The Declaration (The Inc./Universal). The title of the track is called “In The Streets”. I’m actually liking the tracks that we’re hearing from Ashanti recently. Although, she has been off the music scene for awhile and I guess the name of her album suit it well. The Declaration due in stores June 3rd! Check out the following links.

The Detroit Pistons win Game 2 in Boston last night against the Celtics. The Boston Celtics let the Pistons beat them at home and it’s going to be a hard few games on the road since the Celtics don’t do too well on road games.
