    | moat.pweh.com | 03/25/98 at 20:01:35 (EST)
Definitely see myself behind the scenes. Helping others to get on. Writing producing, even directing. Driving my son to school.


Common
I work with the roots but we are not a group


Common
I work with the roots but we are not a group


Common
i think its dope that 2 mc's are battling but Canibus might get L


Lauryn
In response to: Aser

    lauryn- so now that you're doing your own beats....are you sample reliant? And if so what sampler do you use? (MPC, SP, or ASR)?
    | dialin236.toronto.globalserve.net | 03/25/98 at 20:01:35 (EST)
Not at all. I sample a litle cause its hip hop but it's no where near the majority of my music.


Common
In response to: wise

    Oh word common, I know your'e down with Mos Def, are you gonna hook up with him or Talib Kweli in the future?

Working with Aretha was incredible. She's a true master. Never heard a voice like that before. Nobody can touch her.


Common
I want to think everyone who sent me a b day wish

Even if LL got a primo beat its going to be hard for him to get with the lyrics of Canibus


Lauryn
In response to: Master Sage

Common

Lauryn
In response to: janice

    lauryn and common i am writing a paper on abortion. in light of the song that you did together i wanted to get your perspectives on abortion. to note: my paper concerns hip-hop artists' viewpoint on this issue.
    | lr19-m3.ppp.temple.edu | 03/25/98 at 20:09:11 (EST)
The decision to have an abortion is not less difficult than the decision to have a baby, its not birth control. Therefore, with any path we choose in life, we have to think of the spiritual ramifications.


Common
In response to: Sakiv

    Common, Are you and Lauryn gonna hoop for another song in the future, because the duet was incredible, having two of the dopest mc's on one track.
    | access-isdn1-16.bk.psu.edu | 03/25/98 at 20:07:56 (EST)
hopefully we will do something soon. I want to rhyme with her on a song


Lauryn
In response to: Marquette

    I haven't had any of my questions answered but, it's cool to be in a chat room with Common and the beautiful Lauryn Hill.
    | pool-.pitb.grid.net | 03/25/98 at 20:11:05 (EST)
Sorry Marquette. Wussup up?


Lauryn
In response to: Crossroadz

Common
about abortion. The key is to be Responsible!


Lauryn
In response to: Annie

    | access-port-26-89.isoc.net | 03/25/98 at 20:14:30 (EST)

Lauryn
In response to: MIC

    Lauryn- I know you can't respond to every message but please take my request for a gospel track into consideration. I don't know how much control you have over your project but your fans would appreciate it. And about that statement about abortion... PREACH!!! To many people live their life not concerned about spirtual ramifications.
    | ic008230.ithaca.edu | 03/25/98 at 20:16:03 (EST)
There are surpises on this album . . . also I feel that gospel music is any music inspired by the Gospels.


Common
In response to: Bear 14
