Yea… now this is dope. Marty just liberated this unreleased cut that was recorded for Finding Forever but somehow Cassidy ended up with the beat. No clue…

  4. The sample sounds like Nina Simone and I think he had another Nina sampled track on this album. They probably split the difference.

  13. [...] Unreleased Common By Kanye By GrahamCEO Leave a Comment Categories: Hip Hop and Music Tags: Common, John Legend, Kanye West So, Cassidy got the beat in the end (he can afford a ‘Ye beat?!) but this is some dope Chi-town music right here. Lupe tape, Common song produced by Kanye West. Even though it’s almost December here in Canada, today’s music is making it feel like Summer-Time-Chi. And ok a little Ohio since John Legend’s here too… [seen at 2dope] [...]

  14. Wow, this is a great track – not sure how it missed that album but I’m happy to hear it this Thanksgiving! Common is incredible, and somehow still underrated after all these years? I don’t understand that.

  18. This is a Billie Holiday sample not Nina Simone

  19. strange fruit is one of billie holidays most famous tracks. i got the 4 disc 99 track greatest hits cd a few weeks back, its haunting…

    No Label said this on November 26th, 2009 at 9:46 am

  20. magno it’s not a billie holiday version, personally i would know because i attempted to use the cass track for an assignment for a Jazz literature course back in my college days(where you bring in rappers who sample jazz legends), and i was told by a professor it’s the nina simone version. And i also believe it’s not a kanye joint, his name is nowhere to be found, besides whoever leaked it saying so. Cuz Devo produced the nina simone sample track “Misunderstood” off Finding Forever.

  26. Finding Forever was one of my favourite Common albums. Trust me, really underrated. And to say this cut was a bonus? It’s up there with one of my favourite songs of the year. Can’t believe they held onto this for so long!!

  27. IF ANYBODY EVER…..EVER says the words COMMON fell off…if you let those words escape your mouth, you should off yourself with a rusty spoon.
