Kanye West, Common
and John Legend are planning to embark on a movement in the form of the G.O.O.D.
Music Tour when the summer beings to cool off.
The details of the fall
tour have yet to be issued, however all parties are extremely excited.
Kanye, the founder of G.O.O.D.
Music, stated that he intends to make their excursion much more than a musical
experience to listeners.
Of his ambitions, West told
AllHipHop.com, "We want to be the soundtrack to your lives. F**k what everyone
is trying to say. We are trying to start a movement like Marvin Gaye did for
our parents. Creating classic movements – that is what G.O.O.D. Music is. I
am Roc forever. Diamonds are forever, but know that it is my responsibility
to help others get out their dreams."
Similarly, Common, who is
experiencing a tremendous comeback with his latest album BE, said that recent
appearances indicate that the G.O.O.D. tour will be met favorably.
“I think it’s
going to be something beautiful man. We just did a show and all three of us
[John Legend and Kanye West] were on that stage together and I just felt there
was something special,” he explained. “I felt like this is what
music is supposed to be. We were going back and forth and feeling good about
the music, man. It’s really about the music man and being able to carry
that spirit to live performance, its gonna be something real special.”
John Legend, the lead singer
in G.O.O.D., has been headlining a summer tour that features Common, De La Soul,
and Sony recording artist Lyfe.
