Common spits a freestyle live at Madison Square Garden during Halftime at the Jordan Classic. While I was filming Common, I get a text from NYMDOT saying “I c u!! MSG Flow”. So I turn around and there NYMDOT is with Murda Mook. Small world, but in NYC, Hoops and Hip-Hop are the same thing. If you’re from NYC, you probably played basketball religiously. During that time you most likely, wrote rhymes. I know I did. I remember freestyling with Shagari Alleyne before our games sometimes. I have a video of me freestyling in a Karaoke booth in Las Vegas, with Ronald Ramon, Russell Robinson, Sundiata Gaines, and a ton of other people. Jarrell Mills, who use to play a younger Gaucho team than me, is Jae Millz’ brother. I can go on and on. – TrendSettin’
I guess until he decides to drop his first mixtape and/or next album, Common’s just on a “I’m going to freestyle anytime I’m in the vicinity of a microphone” tour…

What happened to you Lonnie? Basic ass rhymes, and pandering for the audience is see through. May work in Syracuse, not NYC homie! Stick to Just wright.
I dont even follow high school basketball anymore now that I graduated.
I just saw him last week at FAMU and he layed down 2 nasty freestyles like 3 minutes long or more.
i think it was dope! heard him do better though… by the way i cant wait to hear a single from upcoming album!
This is what it’s all about
