Common wants Kanye, Dre
 Fresh off the success of Be, Common is back in the studio recording his seventh album, which he plans to call Finding Forever. "Finding Forever really means to find a place in music where you can exist forever," Common told MTV. "Music can be forever if you make it from the heart, if you make it from the soul and it's good. And I look at music like Bob Marley's or Marvin Gaye's or Stevie Wonder's or A Tribe Called Quest's, that's forever music. And I'm continuing on the quest to make forever music." And Common knows the best way to do that is to pair his lyricism with the best beats. "I want to work with Kanye again," Common said. "And I would love to work with Dr. Dre because it'll be something fresh for me, because I feel like he's someone who is a classic producer. I like people who can consistently do it throughout time and be great, and I feel that Dr. Dre is one of those individuals." Common revealed that Be is near the end of the promotion road. He said there's a chance "They Say" featuring John Legend will be released as a final single, "but right now I think we're moving on." Besides Forever, Common also plans to find success on the screen and in the fashion world, with apperances in the upcoming "Smokin' Aces" and "Dave Chappelle's Block Party," and a hat line called Soji on the way.
