John Legend, The Roots, etc... - WAKE UP

So, using musical talents for the advancement of a people/ nation is, undoubtedly, important.  "Wake Up," a collabo by John Legend, The Roots, Melanie Fiona, and Common (whom I love!) is the type of song that we all need to hear.  Sadly, songs with a "stand up, be about something positive, make a change" messages aren't the most popular.  But these are exactly the types of songs that should be on replay, both in our heads and on the radio/ iPod/ TV.

Common ft. Mary J. Blige - Come Close

No, I haven't been blogging lately :( I've been XTRA busy with school work - non stop.  And I haven't heard any new music that has sparked my interest lately.  However, I am looking forward to Janelle Monae's album release in May.  And I will review Nas and Damien Marley's new album ^_^.  But for now, I'm gonna post an older video that I think is really cute - Common's "Come Close." Love the content of this song and the creativity of the video.  And I LOVE COMMON!! Wish a guy would do all this for me...Can't wait to see him starring in his new movie, Just Wright (in theaters in May).
