Common Concert Review


This past weekend (3/4) Cleveland was blessed to have one of the greatest MC's in the game stop through town and perform. After agonizing through 2 plus hours of local acts (the only respite being Mick Boogie DJing in between sets), Common hit the stage around 11:15. As usual Common did his thing, he is definitely a show worth seeing. Holding it down with a drummer, a keyboardist, and of course a DJ he performed a number of hits from Be, the classic I used to love her, and a slick freestyle over "Electric Relaxation" by A Tribe Called Quest. He closed with a dedication to J-Dilla the producer of "The Light". As I've said before there are certain live acts in hip-hop one shouldn't miss and Comm is definitely one of them.
