Common also hit up the TRL stage yesterday for the special VMA taping and I know he was happy as hell. Word is that his album is #1 on the Billboards right now, selling an impressive 157,000 copies it’s first week. Finding Forever is Common’s first album to make it this high. He hit up his myspace friends with this bulletin yesterday:
Peace Fam
With your unprecedented love and support you, “The People” have helped us make Finding Forever the # 1 album this week!
I want to thank all of you who have supported in helping us accomplish this great feat but the journey is not over! And if you still haven’t bought a copy, join the movement… spread the word…
Peace & Love
COMMON
Congrats to him.

@ GODs 13th Disciple. Were you referring to your gay ass avatar? I hate when people post comments like that with no backing. Get a life!
I love Common and the whole G.O.O.D. crew. I bought his album on itunes.
I love Common. I think John Legend is attractive but he seems like he would put you to sleep on a date(boring).
big ups to common [congrats] on dat one

It is about gotdamn time common gets the recognition he deserves..damn took everyone long enough.
As for Mr. West…i’m not quite sure what goes on in that man’s mind but whatever it is…well the art work speaks for its self
I love john legend he is so refreshing I don’t care what anyone says he is the object of my fantasy gay or not
OH AND KANYE IS ONE CREATIVE MAN, BUT MOST OF US GAY MEN ARE SOOOOOO……HOW YOU DOIN?
Common is the man!
I’m happy 4 Common, like others have said b4 he deserves it with his postive lyrics which helps rap music at this point!!!
common is the ish….and fine as hell!
is he eating meat now?
and there’s something about john that i just don’t trust…..he gives me a creepy feeling!
i went to john legends performance that day. never again will i go to a gma show butttt i LOVE the man. feel like a little girl with a celebrity crush.
John Legend GOT to be gay!! I’ll never forget when he won that Soul Train Award a few years back and was sashaying down the carpet…
GO COMMON ! I’m ( crazy ) in LOVE !
I ♥ his song misunderstood
MENA alot of men sashay down carpets…years before saying they’re gay but don’t ruin it for me lol

My first comment was a joke…a post wouldnt be a post without a conspiracy theory
BIG UP TO COMMON & ALL THE FANS THAT CAME OUT THERE POCKET INSTEAD OF DOING A QUICK BURN VIA LIMEWIRE!!!
& BIG UP TO JOHN FOR SWITCHING UP FROM THAT WHITE V-NECK HE STAYS IN!
Love common… need to cop that~
@ Sickey, u really F’d me up just now wit the womb comment ( the visual is F*ing me up…lol )
Oh no, Common cannot be gay.
I’m so happy for Common. I’m glad he’s still around to do real music because I’m tired of these trendy 1 hit wonder rappers making music.
Kanye, a lot of you actually like the album cover? It looks like an ad for a little kid’s show. I don’t like the idea of cartoons on the album cover.
@ 27 Ain’t nobody say Common was they said they think John is gay which I still don’t believe. Show me proof a sex tape maybe.
can sum1 PLEASE tell me wut’s the name of Common’s new single when he’s like “my daughter found nemo- sumthing sumthing premo”????
and does any1 know what Common will be acting in soon?
I like The Regular Cover (http://en.wikipedia.org/w...raduation_%28album%29.jpg), that is the DELUXE cover.
Good Job Common.
**HUMPS ON COMMON**
Kanye’s bear is so cute…. I wonder if it comes stuffed.?.
* is it just my computer or do these comments look very large*
Common will be in American Gangster with Denzel and Russell Crowe and T.I.
@ #13 *THROWING UP IN MY MOUTH*
IT’S OKAY TO HAVE SECRETS
1.COMMON LOVE HE NEW CD.

2.KANYE LOVE’N THE ART WORK.

3.JOHN LEGEND LOOKING GOOD LIKE ALWAYS.
I hope Kanye outsells Fitty. Digging the art-work, but I’ll be damned if I pay more than 9.99. I’ll pass on the special edition.
And I’m glad Common came out #1. Its nice to see more intelligent rappers have success in the industry. I’m so sick of these fools and their nursery rhymes.
Wow, the font is like100 on this joint….
Yeah, I’m still banging JL’s last album too (Love It!!)
And OMG Common…U make me wanna join the movement and spread something else
lol J/K
I thought my comp was the only 1 that supa big! ?
Ok. I thought it was just me but its not. Angel you must have been really excited about this post because this font size is like 99.lol
-Anyways, Glad to see Common doing his thing. The album must be nice. I haven’t heard it yet.
-I’m ready for Sept.11!!!
Common it is about time! He deserve his shine! I have the finding forever album it is the shit support real hip hop people!
Congrads to Comms. Positivity wins again.

I’m so happy for Common!!
Congrats to Common!!! I don’t got the album yet but I guess I should jump on dat ASAP..
Kanye’s album is colorful and hott!! I likes..haha
And John is gay and a straight DIVA… that’s why they booed his ass on stage in ATL..haha And yes I said it he is a DIVA!!! Niggas can be DIVAS TOO..haha but he can sing though..
I KNOW FOR A FACT KANYE WILL BE GETTING SOME OF MY CASH!!! 50 IS WACK AND NEEDS TO RETIRE THEM CORNY REPETITIVE RHYMES…EVERYTHING SOUNDS LIKE THE FIRST ALBUM!!
SO DAMN HAPPY 4 COMMON!!! I told yall, the Revolution will not be televised but podcasted!!!!
I pre-ordered it and it came on the day it came out. It was only 9.99 too, I wonder what it is now???
That album cover is the shit and I truly hope Kanye sends 50 in to the poor house with this record….unlikely because of the 40 million dollar stock deal…he’s “Stanky Rich”….damn gorilla…
JOHN LEGEND!!! My dad didn’t too much care for him switchin up his style on this record but I liked it…I don’t bump it like I do the common record but it gets spins….
OH OH, does anyone know where there is some good FREE sites for downloading movies/music videos??? I just got this Archos 604 joint in the mail (finally) and I need some FREE vids before I shell out $100 for this DVR thing it has.
Concreteloop you’ve lost another fan
Im sick of this G.O.O.D music worship.
last time i checked this is not a G.O.O.D music fansite ffs.
a lot of people here di*k riding Kanye too much saying ‘the album cover is lovely’ etc. youre just a bunch of stans. that cover is whack, the tracklist is uninspiring too.
and to those mentioning 50cent in a thread that dont concern him, shows you know what time it is.
Kanye and John legend should come out tha closet!!
i hope you give king Curtis your largest font when he outsells that pink polo wearer on Sept 11th.
Sept 11th Curtis.
damn, the music biz is suffering. only 100k and you’re number one?! Hope Comm gettin money from apple downloads. Album’s solid though. Everybody should at least buy a couple of singles if not the whole album.
I love Finding Forever.
The joint with Lilly Allen and the one with D’Angelo are my favorites. Craaaaazy. I’m happy for him.
That Kanye album cover is fire too. Love that, and can’t wait to get it.
I LOVE COMMON AND JOHN…BIG UPS TO COMMON SENSE, HE HAS BEEN SLEPT ON FAR TOO LONG. WAY TO GO…AND I HOPE HE DOESN’T GET BACK WITH E.B.
I’m going to stalk you too Common at the VMAs….so hot. hahaha
Yo with all the hit singles by “Rappers” this days..and the same hip hop artist you hear on the radio 1000 times a day..their albums STILL dont make as much as Common Sense’s album did! Congrats Lonnie!!
YAY for Common! He is a good looking man! I’m happy that he finally is getting his shine! I like Kanye’s album cover as well…
Glad to know Common is gettin’ to No. 1….
I’m not diggin’ Kanye’s album cover AT ALL! Sorry!
#23.BrooklynBella.. LOL. My bad, but how many dudes you see sashaying?? Other than Prince ( and even HE’s questionable!!)
Even tho I already had the bootleg, I went ahead and bought Common’s album. He’s one of the few artists I’ll do that for.
Congrats Common! You so deserve it!! big Up’s
Kayne, sit down with that ugly cover.
Congrats Common, I know I got mine in the car!!!!
is it me or is all da writin big?
Kanye….im guessin he likes cartoons? but i agree with angel…….da colours r nice
