Enlisting multi-platinum iconoclast and creative dynamo Kanye West as his executive producer and chief beatsmith, with 2007's Finding Forever Common crafted an LP for his fans past, present and future. For the "heads" there's the raw banger "The Game" featuring scratches by DJ Premier. Common, the intellectual, gets sexual and flirtatious on the "I Want You" produced by Will.I.Am with vocals by Bilal, and "So Far To Go," produced by late great J Dilla and featuring the elusive D'Angelo. Walking the line between raw hip hop and crossover smash is "Drivin' Me Wild," his collaboration with British chanteuse Lily Allen. On "Misunderstood" producer Devo Springsteen flips a dramatic Nina Simone into a soundscape for Common to turn griot.
