Kanye To The: Kanye West

Pretty much. It's like a No I.D.-lead group that just sorta dropped mix tapes out of nowhere. lol  Per fakeshoredrive.com it's: "No I.D., Common, Steve Wyreman, Rob Kinelski, Kevin Randolph, James Fauntleroy, Makeba  and many more."

In honor of Common's birthday week, fakeshore.com compiled 40 "essential" Common songs.
Go to this link to hear them: http://www.fakeshoredrive.com/2012/03/40-for-common.html/

Earlier this week, rapper/actor/author/philanthropist Common quietly turned the big 4-0 (thanks to evboogie for the reminder). So to honor Com’s milestone birthday, we’ve put together 40 For Common — 40 tracks of essential Com for your listening pleasure.  Many are features or rarities you may or may not have (I stayed away from his super popular stuff), so cool out with this soundtrack of Lonnie Rashid Lynn Jr.

Common is 40

Looks like there's an Estelle/Common collabo in the chamber...hmmm... Could be a dope pairing!

Mynigga is 40 dam

Lwfc>>

Got to cop his book still

Looks like there's an Estelle/Common collabo in the chamber...hmmm... Could be a dope pairing!

I wonder what project their collab will appear?  A re-release?

I did a search and apparently they worked on a track called 'Victorious":

Estelle is taking it back to the essence on her third album All of Me. The British singer has enlisted Common for a track produced by No I.D. called “Victorious.” While the Chicago MC recently colored outside the lines with 2008’s electro-minded Universal Mind Control, Estelle is returning him to his roots.

“I feel like I brought him back to being Common Sense. I brought him back to what he was rapping about coming up,” she told Rap-Up.com. “And I think it’s a flashback for him too. I remember coming to New York with four days of clothes and really hustling. We all remember our hustle. We all remember what we’re here to do. That was the point of that record.”

Here she said it's her fave song on the CD......except it never made it to the CD? Hmmmm....
