1. I don't think he'll slack. Whether it's going to be something good or bad, Common's going to try to accomplish something with his work. Like Water for Chocolate was his most successful album to date after it dropped, and he really pushed for something with Electric Circus (though I guess the consensus is that he failed miserably).Will Comman ride his current "success" and then drop a half assed album or will he try to drop another great CD. And will Kanye drop Comm if Be doesnt do as well as hoped?
2. If a cold-hearted label didn't drop Common after his album sold less than 40% of what the album before it did, why would Kanye drop someone he obviously knows personally and respects for not going double-platinum?
