Common – “Strange Fruit” (Ft. John Legend) (prod. by Kanye West)
Here’s some more Turkey Day from the Windy City, this time from Common. According to Fake Shore Drive, “Strange Fruit” is a leftover from Comm’s last real album (UMC doesn’t count), Finding Forever. You can probably tell from the soul sample and drums that Mr. West produced this one. Whose idea was it to leave this on the cutting room floor?

[Thanks, Andrew]

    I guess they assumed it’d be one too many Nina Simone-sampled tracks. Who knows? Great track. Where are you, Common!?
