Shade45

Watch this clip and tell me Common isn't still -- after 20 years -- one of the best rap artists who can freestyle spontaneous verses at the drop of a beat. The lengthy interview is respect due to the Chi-town legend, who's making the press rounds for his 10th album Nobody's Smiling, and the freestyle is at the very end. Check the video after the jump.

With Trademark Da Skydiver's album Flamingo Barnes 2: Mingo Royale dropping at midnight tonight and his NYC release party going down tomorrow, Trade stopped by Statik Selektah's Showoff Radio show on Sirius Shade45 to speak about his new project and also drop a freestyle.
