Common and Pete Rock look back as they reunite for new album | AP interview

Common and Pete Rock first linked up in 1996 for Common's Ice Cube diss track. Twenty-eight years later, the hip-hop veterans are releasing an album-length collaboration, "The Auditorium, Vol. 1." The Chicago rapper-actor and New York producer-rapper sat down with AP entertainment editor Ryan Pearson to look back at "The ***** In Yoo" and prioritizing art over commerce as they entered the music business — and to celebrate their reunion: "iron sharpens iron." #common #peterock #hiphop
