Common-Drivin Me Wild Studio Session

[gangstabanks88]

HE'S A SELL OUT... JUST LISSEN UNVIERSAL MIND CONTROL

[NextWorldApparel]

@gangstabanks88 he's a sell out because after tons of albums he tried something different? well when ppl stop saying lil wayne and gucci are nice then rappers liek him wont have to do that

[gangstabanks88]

@NextWorldApparel from I used to love H.e.r... to "I'mma shop 'till I Drop"..

man, he's a sell out

[guacho123srk]

is a good song but ill say the best rapper right now is EMINEM!

[TheDrebaby15]

real shhhhhhh

[yaddadaman]

drivin himself crazy like that astronaut lady

[mhaze210]

I like Common so much that I try to see every movie hes in just to support his acting career as well.

A lot of people hate him because of his acting, but whats he supposed to do with small roles?? thats why Just Wright was actually a good movie, he can act if he tried. (maybe not DeNiro, Denzel, or Freeman but he aint that bad)

Common knows Hip Hop, and i love when he works with The Roots, Mos, Kweli and the rest.

Him and Pete Rock / DJ Premier should do an album together.

[jayjay121990]

if you a true fan of hip hop go to youtube search box and type in "jay jay check my vision"

[PeakResetProductions]

one of the greatest MCs of all time!!! DJ PEAK

[thejaydot]

u kno thaz ironic cz common tries to hard.

[simsemuhz]

no.

[ThePumpkinQueen456]

so i get what he's talking about in his verses but what is the chorus that lily sings supposed to be about?

[nemesis700]

'its this thing now, thats driving me wild, gotta say wassup till it gets me down'

its about recognisin that your obsession will be your downfall

[herrp80]

during the time he wrote this the astronaut lady was this actual astronaut lady who drove cross country to shoot her lovers wife. funny thing is that she didn't stop drive for like two days and was wearing adult diapers!! true story!! thats why they were all laughing. Common really puts you into a time period and brings into the story. Common Sense one of the greatest!!

[thekidbrennan]

ahhh i see. must of been a us story cos we didnt hear about it over here! cheers for the response!

[jjeffs07]

this is a great tune, i love tracks that lily features on

[thekidbrennan]

driving yourself crazy like the astronaut lady? how come they laughing so much? i dont get it

[Princec5]

u remember the story about the crazy astronaut lady in 2007

[Princec5]

such a dope track....

[Hova55]

totally agree people lame for giving thumbs down

[CaseBrzPzg]

common is the best......songs are great....I really love listenin his music....It really feels good............you are really something special...much love from Pozega,Croatia....peace

[sunra84]

common is going the wrong way with that kind of featuring. kanye's beat is mediocre. don't blame me for that, just my opinion. by the way, he is gifted.

[FINGERSFORTEETH]

i agree. even that "universal mind control" song. IT'S A GOOD SONG. but he's moving away from hip hop and getting all pop/rap. rather mainstream.

[djproducercrasher]

word up

[beeutewfull]

Interesting. I loved the concept of the song, and what it ment. Good stuff.

[ambrosia6890]

yeah,hard to find a song with the real things in life in em.

[angelita0812]

Holla...

Common dope....!!

[mizmode]

He really didn't talk about working with her. I thought he would mention what it was like. Maybe I missed that part. lol

[casswat]

CASS B. of DIRTY WORK

VIEWED YOUR VIDEO!!

[jemmz07]

COMMON IS SICK!!!!!!!!

[2213536]

chck out my profile!

beep beep beep. chk out my prfile!! msg me! wP

[1LOST4life1]

Common = the Real Rapper

[lovelystars07]

seriously when did common get so sexy! i would say after breaking up with Erkah or Kayne beats!

[oliveirinha20]

this is a kayne beat lol =D

[DatDudeSuccessTV]

i love playing my music in front of others. the expression on people faces motivates me

[NYFinest2]

dat is so embarassing i could neva play my music 4 other ppl like dat i guess dats why am not a rapper!!

[anttresor]

why not nyfinest?

[gulshansohail]

aright everybody if u look at hip hop as whole u hav to say dat the 2 best out ther who've done the most and had the most influence have been dj premier and dr dre hands down...

[BadassPlaya16]

antNYC. you are a fuckin retard. timbaland is only a producer . his album blew so much dick it isnt even funny. kanye is amazing. but commons lyrics r so much better. he talks about real shit. besides hey mama what else has kanye really talked about that was serious? that meant something. your a retard.

this is really from raia222. not badassplaya16

[Beaze17]

diamonds are forever roses all fals down jesus walks big brother homecoming etc....

[anttresor]

i agree, but kanye's first album was real, but after that one he went hollywood on lyrics.

[imSOridiculous]

I know and he got wayy to into himself

[anttresor]

yeah man, and his upcoming album doesn't sound so good, i got bad beats and the lyrics ain't that god either. in common's new song you hear that he has dumbed down alot of his real lyrics fo the money, am dissapointed on it to but it ain't so bad. we all gotta eat righ

[brainboy4397]

@BadassPlaya16 I gotta disagree about Kanye, he has alot of meaningful songs and lyrics, i honestly think all his songs got alot of meaning

[brainboy4397]

@BadassPlaya16 I gotta disagree about Kanye, he has alot of meaningful songs and lyrics, i honestly think all his songs got alot of meaning, but Common.......nothing left to say

[franciso7]

@BadassPlaya16

Crack music.....We dont care.....All falls down....etc.

[AntNYC]

timbaland and kanye r tha best

[dre0626]

Scott Storch is easily da best?? LMAO yea ok and Soulja boy is the best rapper since Rakim ..LMAO!!! ...Jay DILLA is clearly the best ever, 9th wonder, Rza , Djpremier, Hi Tek THose are the greats not no damn scott storch Get out of here wit dat WC4LIFE007

[shassy001]

Damat I love this man... I wanna so marry you.

[haidarwazahra]

hes so cute i swear, and its so true i hate fucking wannabe's and the saddest part about that is most people in the world wanna be what they arent

and its only those people who are chill and happy about who they are that everybodyr eally envies

[kidpens]

If your gonna talk "best producer of all-time", theres only one thing to say...DILLA! Get the fuck out of here with that Scott Storch shit.

[stilts27]

Dilla is dope..I respect dudes opinion..but it is whack..if WC4 is young (which he probably is) then all I can say is learn your history..for real..Scott is a dope session player..o.k. producer...but come on...i can name 10 of the top that deserve more credit than he do...starting back from early 80's or even 90's...synth or sample tracks...don't let MTV and BET and Radio choose what's dope...cause they don't even know anymore...

Easy...

[okocharuud]

Aww common dawg we all know dilla was dope but he aint the best of all time i mean we all know the dopest producer is doc dre

[yfwphoto]

word i hear you but the j dilla influence on this track is sooo evident.

[thatmansupreme]

my top 4 producers in any order

rza

premier

kanye

dre

[WC4Life007]

scott storch is easliy the best!!! rza??? come on give me a break...he's not even in the top 10!!!

[grrrfield]

kanye to the greatest producer alive

[14mm2]

9th wonder son. 9th wonder.

Also, madlib is up there.

[grrrfield]

there's many man ! :D

[WC4Life007]

Scott storch the BEST...hands down...he even ghost produced for DRE!

[DeMos202]

this beat cranks.. wat r u talkin bout

[willywonka091]

i hate the beat! would be so much better without it!

fucking lame drum roll..

but i love common!

[G3niius]

i think kanye made this beat, well souds like it

[VoteHope2008]

Check out Video: Common on Obama

search: vote hope 2008 common

[banger2333]

More than on point here with this track. Flow sick, Storytelling off the chain, bringing it back to the days of "I used to love her." Kanye has changed the face of the whole game on the sneaky though, all tracks are uplifting, and what is needed. Jeezy alright when you in that aggressive tone,Wayne will always be a beast, but this is grown ass music right here yall.

[DCI74]

Cosign banger2333

[RawBiznasProductions]

common's raw, lily's raw, kanye's raw. it sounds like crap when they mix. the beat is pretty bad actually. shouldn't have chose it for a single. common's "the people" was much better, and kan made that too. some sound nice and some dont. but fo reall, common is a jeanius

[g1an1n0]

the astronaut lady is the crazy bitch that went up with that swedish guy for like 7 moths ago, and then she stalked somone from the crew...

Common is my IDOL!

[kstove06]

great song. commons the shit. ive been common around on lilly allen too since her single smile. confused though, whos the astraunaut lady?? thnx.

[blaqstar45]

that is a sick ass beat

[TylerDa]

he's real dats what gets him far.

[xonder]

how can hip hop be dead

when com keeps resurrecting it everytime he rhymes?

u are appreciated...

[Stringsgurl]

this is oNe of my favorite songs......Lilly Allen is Great and Common is in fact the best rapper out....it funny i was watchin the hiphop honors and he got an award..and he said it was in fact his first award from any Award show... but that goes to show you that true artist are nOt respected...and HipHOp is Dead...we are VEry Low on good HIpHOp ARtist as of Now

~stringz

[scoobee32]

he said that was his first televised award... he has gotten awards before....you are right thought a lot of true MC don't get the props they deserve

[SHAFTYB]

Great combinasion! Unusual and good at the same time. Music no matter who makes it, it's universal!

[imrickjamesbytch]

Common Is The Best Rapper Alive Hands Down!!!

Chi-Town Til I Die!!!

[AbsoluteImpertinence]

Common rules...

In my opinion he's the best rapper today, and has the most dignity.

[TheDrebaby15]

@AbsoluteImpertinence thats my opinion to homie!

[loyaltyovadishonor]

All praise COMMON!!!!!!!!!!!

[mordeldeberde]

this song is fucking shit! and annoying! he could of at least done somehting with amy winhouse

[20FL06]

Amy Winhouse and Common?! naww. . .y'know who I wanted to see? That girl from Nas's "Cant Forget About You" instead of Lilly

[klaing2007]

JESUS!!!

[HathalisHatha]

DJ SKEE in the building! [blue hoodie]

[datboyhop]

damn, that song iz tha shit

[FONO134]

I love the style of Common, it seems like he has sharp intelect, he is not a gangster, he has style, and he praises love and non-violence. Love the collaboration he did with Armand Van Helden. GO COMMON!!! Plus, he acts on American Gangster.

[amc91a]

i totally agree <3

[KillaAllstar]

Yeah the food was suppose to be a single but for some reason it wan't but the lyrics were extremly good and that was one of the best beats that Kanye west has ever produced they need to get that song on youtube but they dont they only have it live

[Sirch100precent]

If you have never checked out Common's Like Water For Chocolate album....Do that! that is a classic album.

[BlueBe7a]

hellz yeah!

[theafrodeziact]

she was a astronaut lady who drov through like 5 states to fight or kill this other lady who was messin with a man she liked.

[phinx01]

on top of that, she wore a diaper as she drove to keep herself from making bathroom stops.

[jamalmehmood]

sum1 please explain the astronaut lady joke

[jamalmehmood]

i dont get the astronaut lady thing ...sik tune tho common is my favorite rapper

[califlav]

lily's hott, and luk @ dj skee that asshole in he righthand side

[KillaAllstar]

Favorite Common songs are probably 1-9-9-9 that is classic then the rest are:Come Closer, The Light, The People, Faithful, Go, The Corner, and also The Food with Kanye west that song is good

[ken1011]

"The Food" isn't just the best song off the "Be" album but one of the best hip-hop songs ever. Just listen to the lyrical content: real talk, and that's what the art of hip-hop is about.

[wolf225]

common is truly a role model

[MajorAddiction]

G.O.O.D. music gonna take 2007. Graduation dropping 9/11

[sarah12333]

Nice to hear Common explain some of his songs, always good to hear the man speak. I think this song is one of the most self-explanatoy on the album, esp. with the video, songs like the people come across as much more complex. Still its all good, a top quality album.

[abs092]

lily is so cool.

[CorinneRiley]

hes bringin hip hop back!

[wahkimoocow]

i effin luv lily allen on this track

[aborginie]

OFFICIAL VID ON MY PAGE .... xoxo

[yankeeboijpsh1]

best rapper alive!

[kobiemajor]

its not rap its hip hop thers a diffrence

[illflo69]

wrong i got this from all the greats you dont do hiphop your are hiphop, but you do rap you can not be rap. So this is a hiphop cat thats the best rappers alive. hiphop has elements and rap is 1 of them. anybody who say different is dead wrong

[mcjony86]

cuando escuche el disco este fue la primera canciones que e gusto del disco

[eyecon2all]

"drivin your self crazy like the astronaut lady" lmao

[thefkncomplex]

The WHOLE album is amazing!!! This track included <3. Makes me proud I ran down to the store to get it. A feeling I havent had in YEARS!

[cucciolooo]

I LOOOOOVE this single.

[FrenchFootballLegend]

I am so happy that this album is number one. It's definitely a breath of fresh air. This guy actually has some content in his songs, and lots of listeners could use this as a gateway to find more acts that are similar to this. If you really think this stuff is weak, then you can go 'Pawty' Like a Rockstar and Buy Yourself a 'Drank'.

[puff711]

I totally agree with you eranew28 Be was a classic. there are a few songs on this cd that i just wasnt feelin but its a great cd regardless. be was better though.

[serenity422]

Com sense from the city of wind.. 4ever.. good music

[eranew28]

This cd is great but i think his last cd BE was a lot better, with BE you can listen to it front to back without skipping any songs unlike finding forever.......... anybody agree?

[Otschki]

I don't know... I never skip songs... And both BE and F.F. are grwat albums

[Nomis2779]

This was the first song that really caught my ear when I was skipping through tracks when I bought the cd.The chorus in my opinion is CRAZY!! It makes the song but of course Common's lyrics are the sh*t.But this is REAL hip hop ladies and gentlemen.Hat's off!

[VernonJordan]

Com Sense is Hip Hop. This album is insane!!!!!!

[educatedathlete]

if you think this song is weak, then you don't understand G.O.O.D. music. This song is greater than hip-hop, it's a great song for my 80's generation. this whole cd is fire. if u don't get it, keep snapping your fingers and rocking your body

[cqsr63]

Weak!!!

[ARandomCanadian]

youtube . com/watch?v=rZBA0SKmQy8&mode=r­elated&search=

[YoungJIg5]

I want you is his next single

[vice1982]

yea "I Want You" is hott too

[prexero]

i want you.. should be a single

[yetifound]

for a second a thought you were saying you want common, and that he should be single. but only for a second. :) now i get it

[jamesmington]

one of the hottest tracks on the album, great looks on this!

[erking55]

The reason why his album is number 1 is because people like me are tierd of this "snap yo fingas" music and need something with substance to make us think outside the block.I commend common he is great musician and man.

[prajeshhpatel]

true.

[slimblackmeleji]

tight

[Royalstar667]

I really understand what he said....You wiggers---as in people who try to assimilate themselves into the 'black community' by acting 'street'---should watch the whole video and take something from it...

[d1git]

You know, it's great and all that you "really understand" what he said, but if you did, you'd actually take a dose of what he's said on previous recordings and wouldn't be judging people.

[Royalstar667]

Hmmm agreed.

[trueflip25]

Finally real hip hop music. Finding Forever is album of the year. Any other hiphop acts out there now that sound like Common? I dont think so Lil' this Lil' that garbage. THIS IS REAL MUSIC.

[shultoncypher]

dont forget young this young that hahaha

[Hitamaru]

I'll get the album sooner or later. :D! Jus got to get some money xD! Well atleast he's not acting fake like those commercial rappers.

[vice1982]

man i luv this song and tha album, it's off tha chain!

[taniaa14]

woo hooo. i love lily alen :]

[iamsydneyyy]

i love lily <3

[mildor91]

please see video of my brother have 8 yrs old and make very very good driblings:tags huginho#10 is easly one of the best¡¡¡really (or click on my name)

[laidback93]

yeah i'm glad he got #1 album. he deserves it.

[corrupt0981]

so young buck got 1 album too and he got that in only 2 years and this nigga got it after 15 years but common is a good rapper keep it up

[LawrenceBowen]

Common's new album is the illest album since the blueprint, since food and liquor, fuck AY BAY BAY, thats garbage.

[kurtgainz]

so glad he got the number 1 alubm in the country

[wildboyz321]

watch Not Now Cover by Not So Quiet

[tqrthomas]

[CheddaSharp]

Peace to Common..I feel the real in him...

[TripKid]

[henryjanok]

[loquaciousthe3RD]

I love common. I need this album. AND DAMN HIS HEAD IS SHINY.

[bigsora]

LMAO it is shiny. that finding forever cd is good

[ryno9nation]

thats one of his bests songs

[new91178]

That's Real Talk!

[trebd1]

Black Sheep got it from Gangstarr's "jazz music"!!!

[lgtoast]

I was hoping he would throw some more overt spects to Black Sheep, because this joint is so obviously inspired by the album version of Similak Child... got that Les Fleurs homage in there... ah well, I guess it'll stay a treat for heads.

[dpstyle16]

I actually kind of dig common's flow more, thanks for the video
