Common: ‘Cruel Winter’ Album Was Just a Rumor

Don’t hold you breath for a sequel to Cruel Summer: talk that Kanye West would follow his first G.O.O.D. Music compilation with the seasonally appropriate Cruel Winter was just a rumor, Common told New York magazine in a recent interview.

“I don’t think that’s happening,” the rapper and actor said. “It was more of a rumor – cats been creating, but everybody’s been doing their solo album. So that’s what that is.”
