Hi my name is Zachary Smith (A Chicago resident) and I'm a huge Common fan. I had the chance to meet him in August. I was able to get both "Be" and "Finding forver" signed on two different days. I told him that he deserves a Grammy for Finding Forever. With that said I think he should drop "South Side" featuring Kanye West as a Single. That would be hot plus it will definitely satisfy hard core fans. Actually each song off the disc is qualified to be a single. Quote Report

A store on the east side of Chicago called The Music experience has these events called the Music experice. The Music experince cost $20 and not only is it a CD signing but the artist is interviewed, they perform a few tracks, and then they sign the CDs. He actually perfomed "Break my heart" When you go to a CD or book signing there really crowded and hectic so I didn't really have a conversation with Common he shock my and mention my name. Also during that time Common made several pubiic appearances around Chicago. Thursday was the Music expericene Friday was a Best Buy CD signing plus I read that he made a cameo appearance at the Scream tour Saturday he was at the Bud Biliken parade and performed at the after party Sunday he returned to his old neighborhood and perform a Stop the violence concert That Saturday he was signing CDs as well after he performed at the 50 million pound challenge. He signed "Finding forever" and I told him he deserved a Grammy. I've been a Common fan since he came out but I've been a fanatic since "Be". Also here's something that's funny. Myself and Common belonged to the same church (Trinity United Church of Christ) but I never actually saw him in person until last year when he along with Dave Chappelle appeared on the taping of the Conan O'Brien show who taped shows here last May.

"Southside" would definitely be a dope single. if he does release it tho, i say it should be the final one...kinda close it out witta bang. i'd really like to see "Start the Show" as a single, too. i love everything Com brings, but i need some heat from him...i LOVE IT when he goes hard, that's why i was so hype when "The Game" came out. but i don't care what, "Break My Heart" is ridiculous, and if it's notta single, something is just WRONG! lol. but yea, "Southside" definitely needs to be a single...i could see the video rite now, and it's nothin' but freshness.
