Billboard previews Invincible new album by Common... "A special eight-song preview last night (April 29) reveals that
Common's upcoming eighth album, Invincible Summer, is shaping up to
be an electro-tinged departure from the MC's previous lyric-driven

Pete Rock
vs. Kanye West... Unkut: There was an interview that Kanye West did in Scratch
magazine where he was talking about ‘I’ll sample drums off a Pete Rock
instrumental if they’re open’. That was kinda funny to me.
Pete Rock: I believe it! I hear my snares out there, and I’m like
‘Wow, that’s *****in’ crazy, man!’ I feel like that’s lazy shit. You
obviously don’t love it as much as I do, because for you to not go out
there and find it on your own…you’ll find so much if you just take the
time out to go dig, man. We do all the hard work so y’all can just
snatch our records up and listen for open snares and kicks? That’s some
wack shit. I respect cats that come with their own sound [via illroots]...
