Common "Finding Forever" Album

Common says his new album shall be entitled "Finding Forever," due out who knows when. Hokey title? Perhaps, but then again this is the guy who wanted to call his album "The Is-ness."

Common's new album “Finding Forever”
Common is about to hit the studio to record a new album, to be entitled “Finding Forever.”
The follow-up to his critically-acclaimed 2005 LP “Be” will feature songs the Chicago rapper hopes will stand the test of time.

Common has started work on his seventh album, "Finding Forever". "Finding Forever really means to find a place in music where you can exist forever," Com explained. "Music can be forever if you make it from the heart, if you make it from the soul and it’s good. And I look at music like Bob Marleys or Marvin Gayes or Stevie Wonders or A Tribe Called Quests, that’s forever music. And I’m continuing on the quest to make forever music."

Common has big plans for the album, "I want to work with Kanye again," Common said. "And I would love to work with Dr. Dre because it’ll be something fresh for me because I feel like he’s someone who is a classic producer. I like people who can consistently do it throughout time and be great and I feel that Dr. Dre is one of those individuals."

In other related Common news, the rapper has finished filming “Smokin’ Aces”, a dramatic crime film due out later this year. The movie also features Alicia Keys’ on-screen debut alongside Ben Affleck, Andy Garcia, Ray Liotta, Jeremy Piven and others.

I love Common and Mos Def but I hope he doesn't get the acting bug like Mos and we never hear from him again. My heart still aches for the lyricism of Mos. It's like a lullabye to my soul. There is so much to be said for what they can give their fans through "their" writing. All the power to both of them but Hollywood can steal ya and you never come back the same. Look @ Em, he went Hollywood w/Eight Mile and fell off, Red and Meth,got the bug and fell off DMX you heard a sound when he fell off 50, oh 50 where can you be? Ya'll got a lot more to say that's on your mind than what we need to watch from some fabricated script. We need ya'll. Ya'll are the next Civil Right's leaders.

I love Common and I cannot wait until this movie comes out. I always like to see recording artist in their first film and rate them to see if they are able to stay in the game of acting or if they should just leave well enough alone. I wish him luck in his debut and hope he does well

Common was excellent in Block Party so was everyone else. They are all such powerful artist. Gold star for Chappell. The best concert movie I have seen since, Talkin' Head's Stop Making Sense.

I can't wait until Common's new cd comes out. I was in love with his last album but a little disappointed. I mean the album was amazing but it was only 11 songs and I had to pay $15 for it. He is worth it but I'm cheap and that's more than a dollar a song.

What's up Common the BE album was off the hook. I have all your Cd's and I can't wait to hear your new one. I just want to know when it's coming out.
