Yahoo Music has posted the Common video we codirected with Matt Tragesser of Convert and Kanye Three Grammys West.

This was the entirety of my month of April, by and large.

I was told he was walking the video onto TRL-- I don't know if that's happened yet or not. Anyone seen it on the MTV?

My impression from the folks at Geffen is that this is the jam they're gonna be pushing hard on; if everyone is sick of the song, the video, and Common by June then I guess they've done their job right.

The record, BE, is out later this month and is, god help me, stellar. We went to a listening party in Chelsea for the record and couldn't believe the good fortune we had at being associated with such a piece of work. It's a dose of what hip hop needs right now, full of soul and heart and Common trying his best to make hip hop's WHAT'S GOING ON?

Anyway. Comics aside, this is how I spent my April.
