SVS VANCITY.

Danielle & I had planned a trip to New York City and found out that Common was going to be having a show while we were there. Common is one of Danielle’s FAVORITE artists and I have never seen him perform live before so we snatched up a couple tickets!

(I think Danielle and I went on our NYC trip at a good time because it was during the VH1 Hip Hop Honors awards and by coincidence we ended up partying alongside Busta Rhymes + Spliff, Timbaland, Missy Elliot, Grand Puba, DJ Red Alert, Keri Hilson and T.I.)

The show was at the Nokia Theatre in Times Square and it was perhaps the best Venue to host Common (well, besides Madison Square Garden). The energy coming off from the audience is one you couldn’t compare – it seems like the concert goers in the USA are a lot more hype than us Vancouver-folk...

Common put on a crazy show and did all the favorites, including "The Light":

Just when we thought it was over, KRS-ONE and BLACK SHEEP came out of nowhere on-stage and threw out a few tracks and freestyles with Common & Q-Tip:
