The success and recognition that Chi-town’s finest received this year for BE could not be more deserving. After proving to be one of hip-hop’s most talented emcees, Common finally got his due with his Grammy nominated album. But with album number six behind him, he has his eyes set on Finding Forever.
“Finding Forever really means to find a place in music where you can exist forever. 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 Marley’s or Marvin Gaye’s or Stevie Wonder’s or A Tribe Called Quest’s, that’s forever music. And I’m continuing on the quest to make forever music,”Com told MTV.
“I want to work with Kanye again,”Common continued. “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.”
