Finally, one of my FAVORITE rappers alive came to Orlando this week.  Common along with N.E.R.D. and Chester French graced the stage of the Hard Rock Live on October 9th and ROCKED IT!  I got there early so I was RIGHT up under the stage.  I saw every bead of sweat that dropped off of Common’s face.  I gazed in amazement as Common took each breath of air and exhaled perfectly executed lyrics.  I even witnessed in amazement (and a little confusion) as Common went so HARD that his nose bled.  Yes, his nose bled and he STILL kept on going.

Of course, Common performed numbers from his upcoming collab with Pharell (Universal Mind Control is awesome), but he sprinkled a few gems from past albums like “Be”, “Testify”, “Go”, and one of my all time fav’s…”I Used to Love Her”.  He break danced for us, he freestyled, AND he brought some audience members on stage.

N.E.R.D. was there in FULL effect (minus Chad Hugo).  Their music has seriously evolved over time, but one thing remains the same with them…their ability to appeal to the MASSES.  They offered plenty of crowd participation…men were brought on stage for “Spaz” and girls were plucked on the stage like chickens out of a bin for “She Wants to Move” and “Everyone Nose”.

If they come to your town, I DEFINITELY suggest you go!  The sh*t is BANANAS!
