[frankcastle139]

Fashawn

J Cole

Wale

look em up. your welcome

[doogie230793]

wale?

fucking delete yourself.

[frankcastle139]

i assume youve only heard that lady gaga bullshit he did... Wale's album came off too pop but the Back To the Feature mixtape and Mixtape About Nothing were straight fire

[doogie230793]

assumed correct. still. i dont believe in sparing my time for someone who has less soul than a sock with holes

[vabeachbully]

@frankcastle139 yezzir..that gaga shit is what u call diverse..even the debut album was flame nothin pop about it. doogie do some research

[p179894]

i wish common sung more

[lionisphere]

The spoken word portion at the end is deep, deep, deep. One grain of spiritual sand... Love it.

[fobit65]

damn. Dilla would be proud of this song.

[Boomami07]

Its All About the Money Fuck Soulja Boy

[SouthCadiLLac]

Good muSic.... Nah Great muSiC...

[mathemathique]

This song was a tribute to DILLA !

R.I.P JAY DEE.

[LuCaRiOfan94]

Damn, Kanye is such a talented producer. He needs to lose the ego and get back to his old self, because this beat is incredible. Common, of course, was perfec

[drjeringo]

Awesome song,

Common is one of my 3 favourite artists and probably the most sensitive rap artist in the whole world

[xXGhettoBlasterXx]

dont say the whole world lol

[drjeringo]

Why not?

[xXGhettoBlasterXx]

cuz theres ppl that arent famous who r underrated

[drjeringo]

Sure, that´s true. I should have said "known rap artist"

[MasterDusk]

Common is a true artist.

[kinteharrison]

live then u gone...

[bnreal800]

care what yall say bout kanye.. dude a genius on the beats

[Dendenmooshi]

too bad he's wasting his genius. dude needs to be humbled.

[Changsta30000]

explain please

[Dendenmooshi]

Kanye is a great producer. But right now he's putting out crap music. His ego is so big that when people tell him this he doesn't believe it.

[BF33210]

Either that or he's doing dumb shit in public.

[lebronjamesdunk23]

I know, he used to be great. Got all his albums, but now he signed Soulja boy! come one any one who does that does not know what hip hop is

[BF33210]

That's not entirely true.

[afdtdgh]

He knows what a good business is. As much as I hate soulja boy, which I do more than I can describe on this post, he sells a lot of records and makes a lot of money. Money makes the world go round, and Kanye knows that. So it's a good business move

[lebronjamesdunk23]

yeah I agree, but a true hip hop artist would not put money infront of money. Which is why less mainstream rappers are mostly better.

[vandermanxxx]

hes making money probably the only reason he did it

[truegamer4ever]

@lebronjamesdunk23 Kanye Signed Soulja Boy? =|

[lebronjamesdunk23]

@truegamer4ever

I think that he was going to. Not sure, all I know is fuck soulja boy.

[truegamer4ever]

@lebronjamesdunk23 Smh...Wow...You got a link to it?

[lebronjamesdunk23]

@truegamer4ever

Naw sorry. It was a long time ago.

[truegamer4ever]

@lebronjamesdunk23 Smh...Guess my mixtape has to bring real, different music back then..

[lebronjamesdunk23]

@truegamer4ever

What, you rap?

[truegamer4ever]

@lebronjamesdunk23 Just finished the last 2 tracks w/ my current producer for my mixtape. You can check my profile, I have a acapella as well as a mixtape sample.

[lebronjamesdunk23]

@truegamer4ever

About to check it out. Always looking for new artist, some one to help hip hop out.

[truegamer4ever]

@lebronjamesdunk23 Cool, tell me what you think man.

[noodiTHEboss]

@Dendenmooshi Name one Bad Kanye Song???

[noodiTHEboss]

@bnreal800 True True

[ghanaman14]

The best Hip-hop album of 2007

Period!

Common the best!

[alfredHurtigkarl]

Drum beat is from paul simons "50 ways to leave your lover" and is played by Steve Gadd

[tushirog]

Thank you for chilling me out with this vibe!

[Kingjames313]

Eminem rapped over a beat with the same exact drums on here, it was before he got signed, I know he says a line like "Ran up in Eastland (Mall) and shot a police man" lol

[peacenotapartheid]

yea same with Andre nikatina and kid cudi its a popular drum loop from an old pop song

[weezyania327]

kanye is dat nigguh...he got a mawfuckin ear for some samples...u know dat nigguh be high when he make his beats cuz dat shit is just smooth as fuck...and common on tha lyrics....WHATTTTTTT!!!

[XxbarnesxX]

incredible beat holy shit

[MyHipHopTunes]

word, this beats unbelievably good.

[XxbarnesxX]

it is man its glad to see we still have some reall hip hop fans around instead ppl listen to all this lil wayne garbage

[MrYashua1]

KID CUDI HAS A SIMIALER

[111paulio111]

hes good, i still think that lupe owns these kinda of beats tho, but this works.

[ptolemy2]

Common is the truth. There's nothing else to say. Repping the Windy Chi so well since day one. He only makes king moves. Never done anything he didn't have to do. Fuck 50, fuck Em, Fuck Wayne, Fuck Jay-Z. Mad love to Pac, BIG, Nas.

[n1ckmcclure]

Too bad dude hates Chicago now and hasn't done a show there in years. No hate on his music, but he shows zero love to the Chi

[2B87]

His tribute to the legendary JayDee...

REST IN BEATS !!!

[huggiehuggie1]

Common Good is forever, God's memory is forever... Dude that gave me goosebumps

[hiphopdrummer]

The Drum base is from Steve Gadd In Fifty Ways To Love Your Lover =O

[kristjang43]

who is that man speaking ?

[ddbleak]

thats commons father iirc

[ElBocko]

his father

[00ws6blackonblack]

one of my fav hip-hop artist ever...mashallah he's too talented...may Allah bless him!! (Ameen)

[neilsheels31]

i wish he could have done 2 more verses cus this song has the best vibe imo

[marshoohoop]

kid cudi sampled that song from paul simmon 50 to leave your lover and slick rick has a version to 50 to kill you lover best blind ive ever heard

[dude99399]

Hm the instrumental sounds like the song by kid cudi called 50 ways to make a record maybe he got it from common

[matcool88]

Good shout.

[philanderadriaan]

It also sounds like eminem's Murder Murder

[dude99399]

Yeah your right

[8thelementTV]

He sampled like 2 songs for this I believe but I maybe wrong...the base I know was Syreeta Wright's cover of the Beetles "She Leaving Home" and the drums were Paul Simon....

[katsxox]

such a good song one of my favorites of his

common has such soul when he raps, his styles so laid back.

lyrics are fucking amazing.

[freezyfreaky]

anybody know who the backup singers are the sing the hook?

[kylereinhard1]

I just realized today that the drums from this song are taken from "50 Ways to Leave Your Lover" by Paul Simon. Kanye is terrific at finding good drum samples. Great song!

[00ws6blackonblack]

●/ You say Soulja Boy, I say Common

/▌ You say G-Unit, i say Mos Def' You say Lil Wayne, i say Immortal Technique

●/ You say jay z, I say Nas

/▌ You say Akon, i say Masta Ace

/ \ You say 50 cent, I say The Jacka Copy/Paste if you still listen to real hip hop i hate the fuckin radio lol

[FutureNPeace]

Jay-Z is a legend among legends - I understand everything else, but I didn't understand that bit at all.

[00ws6blackonblack]

bro the only reason i don't really like jay-z caz in his videos he's wearin jewelry dancin and singin with bitches i mean is that what you call hip-hop,like for example look at common when he makes video he raps about politics and people u kno what i'm sayin..and jay-z is kool in my opinion but if he used the lyrics in right way intstead of talkin about jewelry and bitches like lil wayne and soulja boy..and please don't ever mention jay-z as legend caz he is not even close to being legend.

[00ws6blackonblack]

and even if you guys think jay-z the legend than that's not what your speakin that's the media speakin..caz they put all this bullshit in our head,the funny thing is that when they say lil wayne is the best rapper alive haha are you guys fuckin kidding me

[tqukueku]

I get what you're saying, But here it is, people that say BIG is better than PAC, say its coz BIG is an all rounder, he could real talk, do the gangsta tracks like who shot you, and still do Big poppa/party and Bullshit. Same, Jay-z can do it all, hard knock, Big pimpim, take over, 99 problems, brooklyn we go hard, DOA, Run this town. That variety and the fact the lyrics stay on point makes him one living LEGEND of the last decade alongside Common, Nas and Snoop.

[JUSTMYSKILLLOL]

Snoops just a pedophile.

[Eleets1985]

I used 2 think de same way bout jay-z as u did. BUT hav learnt that Jay is jus as deep concept wise & lyrically gifted as common is.He even addresd a statement simiilar 2 urs

Jay-z talks bout politics e.g Amerikan gangsta album,song blue magic: "Blame Reagan 4 turning me in2 a monster, blame Oliver North & Iran contra, I ran contraband that they sponsered...."

U really need 2 pay attention 2 the subliminal inbetween Jay's raps bcos dey r a lil more complex than commons.

[weezyania327]

kanye is a fuckin genius wit tha beats...GOD given talent

[Kaytradamus]

this song is a tribute to J Dilla Rest IN PEACE!

[terrifried]

this is probably my favorite track of all time...

[Josiah0013]
