1. Went to see Common at the Kool Haus last night. What a show! DJ Dummy, a drummer, two keyboard players … it was sick. Anyone else reading in attendance? Speak up. And oh, here’s ‘Testify’ just because. [YouTube]

2. Doug Smith reports that Darrick Martin has agreed to terms with the Raps on a partially-guaranteed, one-year contract. Smart move by BC. [The Star]

3. The oddest Dirk Nowitzki commercial you’ll see all day. [YouTube]

4. Actually, scratch that. This is. [YouTube]

5. An Orlando Magic Francis jersey sighting … with “jorts.” [Straight Cash Homey]

    Yeah, Tip opened . . . early. We only caught his last two songs.

    I bartended a private show (sponsored by Kool cigarettes, I report with great sadness) that saw C to the O double-M, O-N as the closing act back in 2001. And, because I’m a moron, I nearly ruined the night for everyone by dashing up a small staircase too quickly post-show, and coming thisclose to shoving my face into Common’s arse, and subsequently sending him into a wall just two feet away. Luckily I stopped my face before it met Common ass.

    Defintely wasn’t in there, but it sounds like someone’s making the tour of underappreciated hip-hop shows. Are the Roots coming up there any time soon?

    Saw The Roots last year, Sarge. Best. Show. Ever.

    And man, my latest concert run is nothing compared to my buddies Al and Bill. In the month of September they’ve been to: Kweli, Girl Talk, k-os, DJ Premier, the Beasties and Common.

    Common is in American Gangster along with Denzel, looks like a great movie

    Pfft, yeah, well, I’m seeing Iron & Wine at the Danforth Music Hall tonight. Speak softly and carry a big beard, bitches.
