Common - Universal Mind Control (UMC)

[patlajanec]

Boogie Bots anyone?

[ahmadarrington]

I was singtin this song in th car even though I hadny heard the song since it came out

[CelayaJai811]

Still love Common... i cant even say i dont break it down when this comes on!

[supertay1616]

@Gunboundmaster yes

[pontus227]

Well now i know common sucks to now i better go and listen to some of his older songs

[gunboundmaster69]

was this a reference to the illuminati?

[lostenmusic]

@gunboundmaster69 it's a tribute song for afrika bambaataa, but you can do that too if you want

[chapan12]

Still a great song with a dope futuristic beat

[GratefulVince]

Great song from a mediocre album

[AsianTigerBlood]

See, I knew Pharrell was a robot. That's why he's so fly.

[lepetitebird]

SICK BEAT.

[angel10191999]

[CaLiZPlAyA]

@angel10191999 and then drake has millions? fuck him

[iloveredvelvetbro]

Woop , woop ! :B

[andres65080]

Fuck all this song is so hot.

[blueberrycreamwaffle]

Like this if yur watching this in 2011 :)

[SoufpawSupreme]

@blueberrycreamwaffle 2012

[BrooklynJEW7]

Its not the worst song in the world. Its just not music that fits Common's style best.

[ItOffishul]

watching this after seeing north koreans weep over kim jong......i dont know what life is really like there, none of us do, but just the way they seemed brainwashed by him was scary. time to evolve folks no govt or corporation has our interests in mind when they can get filthy rich off of us!

[maneatslion]

OK so it's Common doing a commercial retro style tune.It proves his versatility, nothing to get hung about.

[Migas128]

know what?

"i never knew a love love love a love like this gotta be something to me to write this

queen i havent seen you in a moment, wrote this letter and finally decide to send it..."

oh whatever, as time pass music goes worst, compare the new common to this shit now

[VonHalford]

@Migas128 You're just mad because you don't got that dang digga dang dang dang dang, bom de bom digga dang

[Migas128]

@VonHalford im not mad cuz im not gay like you...fuck off

[VonHalford]

@Migas128 I'm sorry that for you the only good music has to be about serious shit. I love me some old school common and some of his newer shit too. I like all kinds of music. Hip Hop is about making good out of a bad situation. But I mean if you just wanna be a dick than go right ahead and suck yourself off.

[Migas128]

@VonHalford sorry don read giant replies...only girl send giant replies when they're mad...one more time, GAY!

[VonHalford]

@Migas128 Sorry I didn't realize you were 10. I need to stop bothering with fools on youtube.

[Migas128]

@VonHalford your arguments are like chain messages...10 is the number i raped your moms ass...get a fuck outta here! im tired of your gay comments

[FastAssJack]

illuminati. everyone can see it

[TudyZuniBeat]

common made this some cuz he was inspired and influinced by afrika bambaataa.... who else can make a techno funky beat then pharrell and N.E.R.D..... shit sounds niiiiiice

[TheMountainDreww]

funky!

[HipHopRally]

Pharrell ripped this beat off of Dilla's "Dont Nobody Care About Us" .... Pharrell is a Dilla dick rider hard. Only about 1/2 as good as Dilla was though.

[yoshi1825]

@HipHopRally Dilla is Pharrell's favorite producer, ever.  He's gonna take cues. I don't get the point of the comparison either

[OptiMystic8]

He had to show soulja boy how it's really done that's all

[Peach102275]

aw so much talk of people not liking this song. i like it!  it's the same Common, just more modern beats is all. i think it's cool.

[MissPhreshz]

a lot of artists lose their way at some point and do something completely unlike themselves.... common's one of them.

[Lilouffreestyle]

2:46 "PUPPET"

[gregpoe100]

Nice

[Biggithor1]

Mindfuck?

[asadchoudhrya]

[SniffaXxX]

[sbjm97]

[shadyboy1010]

[659009stan]

Am i Tripping BALLS???

[Anjreew]

There is universal mind control IN THE SONG.

"you know you like it"

[blackprince325]

@Anjreew exactly man

[MileyCyrusRulesBOBW]

we dance to this in hip hoppp! i love this sonng

[AndreGVideira]

Common try to be pitbul? no, thanks.

[ymepeople49]

haha i find it funny that kids say he sold out but are too young to realize this is a blatant tribute to afrika bambaataa.

and then you get even more kids talking about underground. but what is underground? mos def said it. its just something people came up with to make themselves feel cool for listening to less popluar(although better) music.

but when you get 100 comments talking about underground it really isnt underground anymore is it?

QUIT BEING SO IGNORANT

[aljujuan123456]

@ymepeople49 BURN DAMN!!!!!!

[deathcab2005]

@ymepeople49 amen

[sprite2233]

@ymepeople49 lol so true... people are so focused on listening to only "underground". Like what the fuck? listen to music you like weather its underground or mainstream. I don't give a shit.

[cobiaproductions]

@nafchod the guy was talking about when you put a song in the background of a video

[SpiralDaze]

40 people don't know who afrika bambaataa is.

[chazzybadazz]

This song matched most of the people commenting on this. This song is about the illuminati. And how they are brainwashing the fucking people. Pay attention to the song. Listen to the actual lyrics. Wake up people.

[Cohntent]

@chazzybadazz Enlighten me.

[Eminem117Nas]

@chazzybadazz fuck outta here with your paranoia.illuminati doesnt exist.You watch conspricacy theories to much. And if you listen to the actual lyrics, common is rapping about women

[UnpredictabIy]

@Eminem117Nas no. it does exist. but that's not what this is about.

[Eminem117Nas]

@UnpredictabIy illuminati hasnt existed for nearly two centuries. I suggest you research the Bilderberg group

[UnpredictabIy]

@Eminem117Nas i know alot about the bildebergs.

[Eminem117Nas]

@UnpredictabIy hopefully not from Alex Jones

[UnpredictabIy]

@Eminem117Nas HAHA Alex jones is a trip dude.. :0 lol *SMH

[13steev]

Musique de moussier tombola avis se qui connaisent

[famousx]

lmao i love pharrell with a robot head

[goku0965]

fuck off u dickless pieces of shit leave common alone and focus on vevos corporate coruption of youtube fuck them not common there another form of control from the government i say we should make another site instead of youtube cus its controlled by vevo on we cant post like we please like we used post this to all videos u watch if you already had this idea you should go for it and post your websites URL

[S14]

To all you people saying "go listen to real Hip Hop, Common sold out, etc."

Hip Hop at its best is about innovation.

Go listen to 45 more "Illmatic" clone-albums if you want, but you should know the reason that album is important was it because it was fresh for its time and moved things forward.

It ain't '94 kid.

P.S. If OutKast did this y'all would've creamed yourselves.

[SURtifiediLL]

its that new shit.. but common idkkk

[andrew007go]

where is the old common sense ???

[VonHalford]

Hey fuck you Vevo and your compressed low quality Loud ass commercials

[chefbaby8879]

I listen to a song like this & I say that Common brought back what Bambaataa did back in the day with "Planet Rock."  Now the Ba-diggi-ba-di-diggy-dang-dang came from Busy Bee. There is a subliminal message to theis song my friends but at the same time a revisit to hip hop's early days which is dope. 1 Love

[animalsarefood]

fuckin sell out, listen to army of the pharaohs and jedi mind tricks, thats real hip hop

[thespider6000]

Common Lokks Like A Skinny Suge Knight In This Video.

[ny80smania]

Wooooow, listen 2 this song's lyrics and you'll gradually come 2 your senses, he's clearly sending a subliminal message to the masses by not becoming a typical "rapper" that makes wack-ass subpar "music".........genius

[NamelessTheSamurai]

well maybe not sex but dirty daNcing

[NamelessTheSamurai]

this isnt a song about illuminati...its just another stereotypical song about sex... *sigh*

[10lettername]

No, this isin't hip hop, what the fuck happened to common?

[klite789]

@10lettername Yes the fuck it is!!! Just because he's doing a different style doesn't mean he's changed!!!

[NakloCompany]

Common, what have You done?

[iplaydrumsnguitar]

The Illuminati doesn't exist.

[chazzybadazz]

This has illuminati written all over it. Smh. He is basically coming out saying they control everything. But your all too blind too see.

[Melaniexmel]

@chazzybadazz actually ik alotbout illuminati and i c it all.and im only 11.wen i tell ppl wuts going on in the world ppl thinnk im crazii. 50% kno bout illuminati and 25% dnt care and 25% dnt kno....

[PhantomGeez]

After failing to destroy the Avengers Cybernetic super villain Ultron changes name and becomes a rapper. Great Track.

[Cerandubois]

Hey, I’m a young artist, and I would really appreciate it if everyone would check out my original compositions “My Bluest Sky” and “Será.” “My Bluest Sky” sounds a bit like a cross between “Irreplaceable” by Beyoncé, “Water Runs Dry” by Boyz II Men, and “Tell Him” by Lauryn Hill. And “Será” is, of course, a Latin number that is very high energy, hot-blooded, and extremely unforgettable. Thanks!

[bluetimmy]

all y'all who aren't feelin' this aren't gettin' what my man was doin' on this track. it is a tribute to afrika bambata n' grand master flash in style but with a millennial trust on it. have you guys forgotten your hip hop history? way out, outer space styles was the early days of hip hop...n' dancing! hes still spittin' better then mos' kats on this track. don't live inside creative ghettos y'all. an artist can change n' grow n' express themselves in various ways. it don't always gotta b 1 way.

[PLaris89]

This is a shit song, dont like Pharrell beats and HATE common going mainstream

[na3ak4]

NOOO COMMON DONT GET SUCKED INTO THE BLACKHOLE OF THE NEW "HIPHOP"! talking about money, clothes, and hoes like all the posers of hiphop nowadays. :(

really disappointing

[yomomma7520]

@na3ak4 dude i feel u fuck mainstream ! UNDERGROUND ALL DAY YO!

[CTFightNight]

thos doesnt sound like a common sonng

[FAMSmKHP]

@CTFightNight its song, not sonng.... jeez

[D0ct0rTC]

@CTFightNight its better

[godopeach90]

@D0ct0rTC Absolutely not. This is mindless noise, Common is supposed to be an intellectual with a powerful voice, not something for drunk teens to grind to at the club.

[CennsationalBeats]

@D0ct0rTC its not better, its just a different sound, not bad tho

[TheLolanek]

NOW SERIOUSLY WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS PIECE OF SHIT

[kaymonaitor]

@thedemon124..uhm dude your talking about God but your name is Demon...come now...top starting stupid internet discussions and just appreciate the music..

[ruthii19bh]

ya SWEAR ya know sumthin BUT U SOUND AS IGNORENT AS EVER....smh....LISTEN to the music.....all arguing and shit...this is why they DISABLE COMMENTS..STFU!!

[Tokenlightened]

This is NOT HIP HOP!!!... -_-

[MsSexyboricua17]

i love the beats

[SjokooStyle]

This sucks

[TheMaggerable]

common is very good but that beat sucks little bit

[Mariners005]

not playing at the national underground thats phil common lmao

[thiskitty69]

@JUSTINofRAP compare this to older shit and u gonna see that this is an homage to afrika bambaataa... fool. know what u talkin bout before u speak...

[jerrymill89]

@thiskitty69 

[JUSTINofRAP]

@nismo510 Sucks some kid from 510 likes this "new hip hop". I mean cool you like it, gotta keep up with the hype right? Trust me, compare this to some older shit, you'd know what i'm talkin bout.

[JUSTINofRAP]

Not hip hop.. sucks that people got what real hip hop is twisted.

[nismo510]

@JUSTINofRAP Sucks that kids called Justin can tell other people what is and isn't real hip hop.

[Sinner2Saint777]

@therealbcb i feel you.....and fools thinking common is a "real" rapper are buying into his fake persona...think about it the man is an actor....he can say all he wants but all these artists have sold out to corporations and sold their souls to the devil im sure....no way you can be mainstream without doing so these days!

[thedemon124]

@Sinner2Saint777 ok give me three realsitc proofs that any rapper has sold there souls to the devil including common and all rappers are real its what they say that matters

[Sinner2Saint777]

@thedemon124 I shouldnt have to give you any proofs if you truly understand God's word already then you should know all mainstream music is full of sinful unGodly things....i can list all sorts of proofs but in my experience it does no good to debate with people who dont follow Jesus Christ or truly understand God's word. Everyone thinks if someone says they believe in God then that makes every other sinful action they commit ok and therefore God has become a watered down ideal to most.

[Sinner2Saint777]

@thedemon124 also...you gonna believe what a rapper who is also an actor on movies says???? he played the part of a crooked sheriiff on a movie so do you believe thats what he is in real life? Its common sense (no pun intended) think about it. If these guys can play a character on a movie why wouldnt they play a character on a song? If you believe in God then listen to some Christian Rap like Lecrae, Trip Lee or R Swift and hear some real TRUTH!

[JD1120129]

@Sinner2Saint777 u idiot he was a rapper way before he was an actor. nigga jus tryna make money..i really cnt stand ppl like u tht think theyre so holy and bettter than everybody else tht they start passin judgement on others from theyre high horse...smh...im pretty sure the only judge is GOD himself...says so right in the bible....so no matter your opinin He has the final say so and the only say so tht matters...smh...i hope u see Common in heaven jus so it can piss you off lol idiot smh

[Sinner2Saint777]

@JD1120129 lol....everyone always saying only God can judge me simply cuz they heard Pac say it....DO YOU REALLY WANT GOD TO JUDGE YOU THOUGH???? you should be happy that people on this earth are pointing out your erroneous ways before GOD does the judging because he wont give you time to correct yourself after that judgment is passed...you still have a chance right now and so does Common and any other rapper...feeding himself is regardless God will provide and you should trust in HIM 1st!

[Sinner2Saint777]

and why would I be pissed at seeing Common in heaven? I'd say AMEN if he made it cuz he obviously did something right and repented....People are letting satan deceive them into thinking the love of Christians who protest sin is hateful....only thing I HATE IS SIN JUST AS GOD HATES SIN!!!!! He loves all his children but demands HIS respect and for us to follow HIS ways not the ways of the world....if you cant see that then I pray you will soon!

[ohdearist]

@Sinner2Saint777 hahaha this is the funniest argument ive ever seen on a video. Have you ever stopped, and had a little think then realise that....wait for it...... god isnt real and you need to chilax. stop taking the bible so literally and enjoy a quality tuuuuuuuuuuuune.

[nafchod]

@therealbcb

"OUR videos."??? i'm sorry but you didn't make these videos, by posting them you take money from the artists you like. I know i sound like a narc, but face it, our favorite artists make money ccreewfewf

[skateboardbitch100]

@therealbcb same thing with facebook i hate the new faceboook

[siciaznguy]

thank you vevo for making all my favorite music load reallllllyyyyyy slowwwwwww

[iggyds89]

this is wack

[MsLissa34]

its true, that new shit got universal mind control over the 18 people tht dnt like this

[spear31a]

this song is so awsome!!!

[PWV]

real good remix in my channel with flying lotus!

[Dragonball4life]

Common's older music is ALOT better than this.

[ProphecyII]

ha ha every body as robots- who god bless- no man curse! So uh. . . Move yo behind!

[hohumha]

i love tht he's making fun of the new "hip-hop"/"rap" of 2day!cuz if u think about it..thts wat he's doing!& its funny.i had 2 stop dancing & actually LISTEN to the lyrics 2 get it

[jlp05]

@hohumha My thoughts exactly he is making fun on recent artist LOL

haha I love this song

[lsoulful]

whack beat :(

[gza333]

shame on you mother fucker!

[DamnIwannafck232]

i use to love h.e.r ...

[Rayz64]

who cares if the album was like this it wasn't as bad lil Wayne and it was experimental

[BabylonGenocide149]

He doesn't look into at all. Common looks bored or as if hes not himself.

[shanevan1]

.....

Please not you to!!!

I dont want you to make song about how "fly" you are or how much money you make

I Want the poet talking the truth about the streets every ay life and,love!

'That Universal mind control,now move your behind!' in dont want you 2 control my mind and telling us and woman dance that way...

please stop this and go back to the art,and your real-self!

You know!?,that Common guy you used to be...

[TKO911xXx]

@shanevan1 -- He is actually making fun of the new rap. it's plain as day in the lyrics..

[MrSpittah]

DISLIKE! this is not common style

[teddybruscie]

@MrSpittah Its not but I liked that he stepped out of his boundaries on this one. Had a little fun. Its fun song. But then I found out his whole entire Album was like this and then it all went down hill from there. I heard his next album will back to the Common we all know and love. Song is still good though. Just dont want an entire album. One time only deal.

[sailorusagi99]

@MrSpittah yall dont get it, tha reason he is rapping like that is because he saying that this type of rap has a universal mind control on everyone. he's not actually making that a trend for himself.

[MIKEDLOVER]

i like the version with the "planet rock" beat much better

[apolanco602]

its aiiiiiiiht not the best 

[Ganetike]

THIS IS.....WACK!! common what the fuck i trusted u do goood old

[Zandoraful]

I like this song! Something old with a lil modern twist. Superb!!!

[TheSpooky11]

geezzz....what a fucked up dude:)))))...so lame

[TheOfficialclassic]

killuminati

[HouseJunkie111]

this is a disgrace to the art of hip hop ..... common .. go fuck yourself just to be a real artist this is some kanye lil wayne bullshit

[rmassie11]

sounds like that fresh Hip Hop from the 80's

[tpep1011]

what happend to your old skool shit bro go back to that

[Frankredman12]

@tpep1011 technakally this iz kinda old skool like afrika bambataa U feel me >_>

[liventhetruth]

Apparently its satan's music because its got that... bang bigga-bang ba-bang ba-bang bang. Bang bigga-bang ba-bang ba-bang bang. Bom bigga-bom ba-bang ba-bang bigga-bigga bom bigga-bom ba-bang ba-bang bang.

I love Pharrell and Common together on this!

[MegaTraCkz]

@liventhetruth lol its the secret lang that satan comunitcates to his Girl Friend Wiv

[ProphecyII]

@liventhetruth ha ha i agreeeeeee bang da bang uhhhh. . . . im high lol

[iluvche3s3]

@liventhetruth The reason why i think so is because this video is based on the future and how there are robots.The subliminal message is to accept the idea of robots on earth.

[boldpud]

If a robot is calling my name I do not want anything to do with it. Hell its not even alive. Its died!!

The only one I long to call my name is Jesus.

And btw my PC. never called me by name. :P

[flyguy494]

'You know you like it'...it's calling you name....it got dat new ish.... and it wont feel the same'....lol Haaaard !!....

[IXxBossxXI]

undergroundssoundss u should be talking about mind control and satans music and all that shit when you can barely talk at all. commons music is unique and he has his own style he stays true to. his songs have a meaning. its not random shit like lil wayne who says stupid shit that rhymes but has no meaning or depth to it

[doncorleyone]

This is HIP HOP!!!!
