IN CASE U MISSED IT: G.O.O.D MUSIC BET HIP HOP AWARDS CYPHER

Cola Janneti — Fri, 15 Oct 2010 13:38:41 +0000

The BET Hip Hop Awards went down earlier this week, aside from its usual performances, BET made sure to include those freestyle cyphers that started last year. Realtalk, that’s the best part of the awards show. They should really consider incorporating more cyphers into their programming…bring the real essence of hip hop back. Check out the G.O.O.D music crew spitting some bars off the dome. That Rosewood look might become a trend in 2011, thanks to Mr. West. I see the whole G.O.O.D. camp is in the building…but ummmm, where’s Consequence?! What’s beef?!

J'More — Fri, 08 Oct 2010 14:06:30 +0000

Looks like Common really missed Serena’s bubbly ass, so much so that the two are rumored to be dating again. The tennis star and rapper/actor were spotted getting real cozy at the Shore Club hotel in Miami. Yep, fancy! Snitches tell Life & Style,

“They’re 100 percent back together. They were all over each other poolside”.

Word is Common is also ready to settle down and have some babies. Guess, he wants to make Serena his baby mama.

LADIES, COMMON IS “DEFINITELY SINGLE”!

A while back, we broke the news that Common and tennis star Serena Williams called it quits. Well, Common let the cat out of the bag during an interview with Chicago’s Fox News confirming that he and big booty Serena is no longer his shorty. He says,

“Let’s just say, you know. I’m not married. I’ll say that. I still have respect for tennis, but I’m not married. You know, everything is positive. Everything is good. I am single. I am a single man, definitely.”

Peep the interview…

Fast forward to 5:42 to see Common’s full response.

LMAO @ Common referring to Serena as “tennis”. But, I just don’t get it! Last month, he was on The Wendy Williams Show practically professing his love for Serena and now they’re dunzo. WTF?! Common must be missing that onion booty though or who knows he’s probably still smashin’ it. #Imjustsayin

STR8 SNITCHIN’: SERENA WILLIAMS & COMMON SPLIT?!

LexAve — Wed, 26 May 2010 16:13:28 +0000

Looks like Serena Williams and Common have called it quits! According to snitches & In Touch magazine,

the two “just grew apart.” They appeared together at the April premiere of the romantic comedy “Date Night” in New York, but Common attended the May 4 premiere of his new movie, “Just Wright,” with his mother.

You might recall Common most recently gushing about Serena on the Ellen DeGeneres show and about the potential future…
“I would love to get married and have kids,” he told the daytime talk show host.
Here he is gushing about his sporty boo to Wendy Williams…

So is it true? Did Serena & Common really grow apart? Could it be Common is ready to settle down and Serena isn’t? Hmmm….

SERENA WILLIAMS WANTS TO GET KNOCKED UP BY COMMON?!

Looks like Tennis star Serena Williams is itching to put her eggs to use. Apparently, Serena is desperate to start a family of her own with her boo Common, but worries that she’ll be an irresponsible mother. She says,

“I would love to have a baby… But I have two little dogs I take care of and they’re so cute, but sometimes I forget them. One time I was in the locker room… I was busy and I left and I was in the car driving home and I was like, ‘Oops!’ I definitely don’t need any kids because I forgot my dog.” Adding, “Every time I see a woman walking around pregnant, I’m like. ‘Oh my god, I could never do that.’ How are you walking? I look at them and my back starts hurting! That’s as far as I’ve gotten with that (having kids) but eventually, maybe one day I’ll get there. That would be awesome.”

Maybe Serena needs to wait a lil’ longer before she becomes a “mommy”. Lord knows Child Protective Services would have a field day with her a$$ if they found out she left her child alone in the locker room!

DAILY SWAGGER: DIRECTOR’S CUT: LITTLE X vs HYPE WILLIAMS

LexAve — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 15:33:52 +0000

Check out the original video for Common’s “Universal Mind Control” abover directed by Lil’ X. Clearly the label was feeling Hype Williams version better and trashed Lil’ X’s work.
Sure Hype Williams’ piece has way more graphic effects and computer generated knick-knack, but what I like about Lil’ X’s is the dancing component, especially at the end of the video where Common busts out in a lil’ break dance. Maybe if the finalized video had a little bit of both versions, maybe it would’ve received way more music video rotation….I’m just sayin’. But we gotta ask who’s finalized work are you feelin’?!
