This was one of the best podcasts that I've listened to. Much like in his music, Common connects with his guests on a deeper level. I could listen all day.

EXTRAORDINARY PODCAST

I really enjoy the interviews and the cool laid back feel of the interview sessions. The way he's asked these insightful and personal questions reminds me of Terry Gross. Big Up's to Common!

I was contemplating canceling my Audible subscription when I discovered this exquisitely uplifting and enlightening example of audio programming.

Bravo to Common for the compelling guests and questions, and most moving for me personally, the music. James Brown’s “Mind Power” is a historical treasure righteously resurrected with this podcast. I’m not just saying that because my dad, Fred Wesley, was so instrumental in creating it, but the fact did make it extra special listening for me.

Powerful concept powerfully executed

His story of Strength stood out. How he also found that it can be how you say things that will hurt and just watching ones worss and actions.

Nas has been and still is My fave emcee since 1994 when he first appeared on the scene with Illmatic always a pleasure to hear him speak!!! Thank you Common for this Podcast , Common is also a great emcee one of my faves and also a great actor, activist and now interviewer I enjoyed all 6 interviews I hope to hear more and will be listening to these again !!! 💜💜💜💕💕💕💪🏽💪🏽✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾 and I love how Common takes a verse from a hip hop classic to describe each guest at the end and encourages guests who are not rappers to rhyme like Misty Copeland that was awesome 🤩 hip hop it don’t stop !!!!

Nas always number 1 in my top five !!

From the very first episode I was hooked. Bryan Stevenson- wow! Common talks about it all and brings the spiritual side to light with each of his guests. I can't wait to hear more episodes and learn more about his amazing guests! Great work!

eye opening and entertaining

Hip hop magriotsulo miracle agent NAS globalized the music industry to this day for contemporary entrepreneurs of the post-modern entertainment era. Your host Common brings thought-provoking exploratory into the podcast intro with Nas, while delving into their similarities and simple common upbringings. The childhoods of these media giants bring functionality into the frienemy disparities between East vs West Coast localizations.

As a Gen X cohort, I can relate to the old school relationships NAS has had with music, females, and being on different social circles in various lifestages. His dad influenced his desires in multiethnic musical genres, and positioned him to learn instrumentals. I really related to the evidence within Nas to relay his love for lyricism in the hip hop art form. It reverberated my urgency to "put a spin" to my signature talent in praise and storytelling in singing or word rapping in front of an audience.

The feedback Common had given Nas raises the quality standard of contracting time with artists of their calibre. I can remember greats like Candy Shannon, Mona of tropical beats, and Don Correleone engage intros like such a standard as Common's to perform in this nostalgic episode of Mix Powertape Sound. When you have a hunger like Common to stay fresh, people have a tendency to gravitate energies toward you. The universally shared trademark intellectual planar scopes that the two hip hop and action entertainment moguls alliterate to the podcast link millennial assertiveness in parenthood and the authentic acceptance of their credence and reasons for living.

Into your own. Nas. A place for dreamhomes.
