Moved to the BK from Humboldt Park- but every time I miss Chicago I listen to this joint, and every time i listen to this joint, I miss Chicago. "Mostly Hyde Park hoes is who I messed with..."
one time i was stoned and i was listening to this song and i wasnt even in my room anymore i was thinking about this girl i know...it was a very surreal moment
Now, damn. I've never heard this song before today! But, Common is preachin' just about my entire life story of growing up on Chicago's South Side in these lyrics from beginning to end. It's downright uncanny! Even the activities going on in the background of the video are accurate to my life experience! WOW! Thanks for this righteous post,
@jonesyl15 +1, i so remember the 90's i would do anything for that decade to return, thank god for youtube and the pirates that spread the old school online; classics will NEVER die, only TRASH dies
Common didn't even realize his potential as sex symbol or even sexy back then it was all about music and that was what made him humble. Look at him now....pretty boy, lol.
I remember people used to hate this song. Said he sold out when it came out. Big debate about that at the time. I've always liked it. Plus you gotta love Chantay Savage. She was like the hot girl at the moment. Her album was fire.
Just listening to massive attack today, I realised Common sampled one of their tracks called "Lately" from the 1991 album Blue lines for Reminding me. Makes this track so much better now that I know =)
@emrage it's an original by a band named Lowrell, song is called mellow mellow right on.Have it somewhere in my collection. Massive attack sampled Lowrell, and quite good!! But Common didn't sample Massive attack I gues.
I swear One Day it Will All Make Sense is my fav Com album. Not callin it the best but my fav no doubt. This song equals nostalgia! I miss this type of stuff for real!
One of my favorite common tracks!
