[lileazy1000]

[blivjc75]

that when the prosecutor realized what happened

all that speakin her mind testifyin' and cryin

when this bitch did the crime...the queenpin. Epic poetry

[Nickl245]

haha i get it, he asked her her name in the start to see the difference between when she's lying and telling the truth

[LoserinYellow04]

what's the twist ending? i don't get it.

[KillerofMezzer101]

she was the one who owned the gun and the cocaine and she really did smoke even when that guy asked her if she did and she said no. she just played her husband so that she wouldnt go to jail.

[undadog74]

she framed from for something she did

[pearltoles]

this is the best video that fits a song

[britbrat459]

what happend?!

[TheRocr72]

awesome!!!!!!!!!!Common is the men

[tellmesumngood]

damn he has superstar actors in this video

[TomKrosVeld]

great video, great song.. The finale of the music video is heavily influenced by the twist ending of The Usual Suspects.

[nabilohff]

yes i thought the same

[DAVID123456789000000]

THIS song hot like cock

[weezeylover1]

omg... love the song... neva wuda guess da end doe.. 5*z

[Queen4adisa2c]

Taraji can act her ass off!!!!!! And now we know she can really sing........., OMG!!!! I hope she's has a designer sending drafts of a display cases for her oscars. She's awesome!

[MrIchito00]

lol another award winning performance...this song common 's a beast.

[chatanoogachamp]

Paying HOMAGE to "THE USUAL SUSPECTS!"

[PistolWhipYoMom]

yeah so common live last night!!! was off the hook.

[chrisferreira00]

Common is one of the few current rappers were you can feel his hunger and pain, picture perfect.

Common speaks hiphop!

[Volper16]

Amen!

[dagreatmighty1]

And he's makin' $10 million+ for it!

[JessieSelvaggi]

i hate the rap music today , whatever happened to music like this ? or way before. how come good rappers aren't as known anymore. its not only with rap, its with rock too. music is just dying. we need real artists to keep it alive.

[phatbeatsjunkie]

Y'all need to watch the movie "usual suspects" the concept of this video is kinda based on that movie. Sick ass song and video!

[Omegaeddie]

REAL MUSIC HERE!!!!

[Jewelzz13]

i love this song i heard it when it first came out (2 years ago) and i never listened to it again and all of a sudden i said i wanna listen to testify :D awesome song

[stablelunatic]

It actually came out 4 years ago lol, but yeah I love this song too. I was addicted to it when it came out.

[AKNdensemo]

before you lock my love away 3:33

[terrellthomas128]

Makes me sick that rappers like this aren't more popular. Guy is fucken awesome....

[nas4eva2001]

because they are not commercial rappers they believe in good music rather than making money in short they devote to the art!!!!!!

[imhissensualbeauty]

this song samples "Innocent Until Proven Guilty" by The Honey Cone. That song is good, but I love how Common used it! And Taraji is always great when she acts! I love this one&the extended!

[desilean]

this video was very well put together! taraji played dat part brilliantly! luv it

[IAMlesliearnelle]

HA this song ROCKS!

[28witlegalmoney]

You accuse me of it

You accuse me of it

You accuse me let me testify

[chelfree1]

wow the ending was really surprising but soooooooo good!!!!!!!!!!!

[Heatherfly12]

i like it mostley please let tesify i like that lyric

[flyy]

i don't smoke.

[journee8908]

this is by far my favorite common video

[dingalion2]

damn man that twist in the end was so sik i wasn't anticipating that cause you don't hear that kinda storytellin nowadays

[ChrisImage78]

This had some elements of The Usual Suspects. At least it wasn't a watered down bite off like Gay Z's city is mine vid! This was put together real nice though. You could tell they put some thought and good acting into this project. I love that bridge!

[DarknessFalls29]

Steve Harris was the bomb in this video and he was a beast on The Practice. He plays legal roles like no other. Taraji tore it up! Somebody get that girl an Oscar! lol

[qwertyuiopwalt]

*Wood Harris

[sweetmalicious]

Steve Harris is the prosecutor. Wood Harris is the defendant.

[microsoft360freak]

[kereena]

[harlemthuget212]

[chinadoll21207]

[jordansmn]

he sed its hard to listen to common rap with the hook goin on the whole song

[asiaatl09]

oh love the hook

[cutiegoodas]

he did a better hollywood movie in 5 min than most major studio production do in 2hours. Common your the best

[n1luvchrisbrown1]

i love this song and the plot but i jut don't understand why the woman would want to set up her husband.

[BelfastBrigade17]

it's not that she wanted to set him up, it's just that she didn't want to go down for it. she supposedly meant it when she said, "My husband is a good man," blah blah blah.

[ShasaDae]

I love how the only lie she told was "I don't smoke"

[LaComicBuTtErFlY]

i love that she smokes the ciggarette and then the flash back comes on and she says she doesnt smoke. lmso.

[Jayy630]

i love taraji! she deserves that oscar

[LBR33Zii3]

I second that :)

[Jayy630]

my jam!

[Shikamarusama214]

this is what i like about Common. He stands out more than most rappers because most of his songs tell great stories. Good video too. =)

[mooki3babiiyonkerz]

i agree. we need more commons

[verz22]

damn wasnt expecting that, favorited

[pbbp14]

yo the prosecuter fucked up big time

[krysros]

loveeee the story!

[soundlaboratorium]

The end is sorta like The Usual Suspects

[dieumer1991]

Every time i think i've heard the best common I then hear something like this. this is art. i said it before and i'll say it again common, lupe, kanye and Jayz are the sh&t

[dieumer1991]

[SearchingForTruth56]

Bitches Be Crazy

[Bigkahkistan]

This isn't just a good song, it's damn good music video. Probably one of the best I've ever seen.

[opeth1234]

What the courts should really be doing is putting all the white collar criminals on the fucking stand, and put all those fuckers in jail.

[stell5055]

so true white collar crime destroys more peoples' lives then other crimes

[FLIPPERX3]

ThaT was a some real ass shiT!!!!fucking biTch played everyone..never know when a biTch can end up Tellin..!!!

[sweetmuthachucka]

Yeah, some of the most ironic shit. Hella unexpected. I mean my jaw dropped on the floor when she confessed and just walked away...

[mememefr]

common keep doing wat u do best RAPPING THE TRUTH

[skandaa]

[shundaphooh1]

[LilZali]

[CeeRoc13]

common iz one of the most realist rappers to ever enter dis rap game yo

[loitalove]

love it

[streamstress]

I like this, looks like a miniseries tv show. I just want more, Common. Could we please have some more?!!

[fireking345]

Jurassic 5 and MC chris are great rappers

but nobody speaks the truth more then common

[Raptorazor]

more of this please, we are tired of 50 cent and that kind of "hip hop"

[etsawh]

AMAZING.

[bummer2000]

this is absolutley amazing. a complete and enthralling story in 4 minutes. over one of the best narratives too

[creps408]

didnt see that coming..

true hip hop,need more artists like common

[avilesnba]

yeah  pong224 is right

the wife committed the crime instead of the husband

she set him up or something but the husband is innocent though

[silentsophi]

Common is amazing! Buy his albums old and new!

[xoxroyaltyxox]

what did she put on the table at 4:00?

[eiereie]

i think it was her ring

[iPodmani22]

Her ring

[MRKELLZ2K8]

i think it was a quarter to make his one phone call with lol!

[passionchick01]

this is the true artform of making a video...a rap video even more..now a days it's all da same, but it jus goes to show the level of swag and creativity encompassed in such a great man as common...he is a legend~!

[accavanos]

who sang the female part

[Official360]

Sample

[pong224]

da man is trying to say that rap is now making murderers and rapists. According to the vid, the husband's evil motive was rap.

Dat's deep y'all.

[somefnguy]

i don't see how you came to that conlusion, explain it to me.

[pong224]

I'm sorry man, after watching the vid again, I found out that the wife committed the crime instead of the husband, yeah... I have no idea where I got that other idea.

[13CaptianCharisma13]

lmao it's about women framing man

[loitalove]

it happens

[AstronautSpaceSuit]

Kanye produces everything that sounds good.

[joebws08]

great song with good lyrics and chorus

good music with a story line n brainless rap

THIS IS TRUE HIP-HOP!

[Profound03]

Hot....no need to explain. Common has paid more than his share of dues.

I was blessed when he came to Johns Hopkins College in Baltimore Wifey and I took him and his crew out for dinner before the show.

Very decent down to earth Bruthas

Peace

Profound in Bmore
