[MrQster1000]

@MrQster1000 Well Common has a song called sweet and so how people where saying that they were calling Drake out in the song.Just look up common and drake beef.

[TheTVs]

My favorite joint by Common!!

[werdup1212]

GOOD SHIT RIGHT HERE B..SHOUT OUT TO QUEENS BRIDGE CREW

[Sensarmy300]

Common needs to add the sense back to his name and his rhymes his old work are classics that will live forever but that new shit he's putting out nowadays is strictly for that mass appeal

[Jshmelo]

If every Common album was produced by No I.D. we'd have more great Common albums.

[soultrip7]

@Jshmelo resurection,one day it will all make sense and be is his best shit..

[JMVEntertainment]

true classic material

[soakgameLLC]

S::G

[Jshmelo]

@soakgameLLC Yep.

[SoleByThePound]

@soakgameLLC. No, it's a remix version. The original version in on his first LP, "Can I Borrow A Dollar".

[soakgameLLC]

@SoleByThePound that's what i said.

[soultrip7]

[TierWun]

@soultrip7 Word up. This was knocking even in Brooklyn back then. Hip Hop is garbage now.

[soultrip7]

[boogiemaster247]

from "breaker 1/9 to the title track.. i saw this brother at Milwaukee's "Bastille Days" doing this 3 yrs after I was rocking the 93' tape all school year long....two scoops? yes..and the boogie knows...classic..feel me?

[SuperThedboy]

This Goes Hard!

[jedimind40]

1993:)



[jedimind40]

@ICHausBD He changed his name cause a alternative rock band copyrighted it first.

[306ness]

Time to start saving DNA samples of the real motherfuckers so we can grow test tube rappers for the future... It;s gettin so ugly people are doing backflips over these Odd Future dickheads... WTF

[306ness]

@306ness If anybody knows of some real good underground shit please for the love of fuck tell me about it... Really hope Solaar's got Guru's DNA in a lab somewhere working on a clone.... so it can murder him and escape once it grows up

[306ness]

It's really fucking funny how those morons arguing below confused the term "conscious" with "conscience" ... Common modeling for the Gap? Daaaammnnnnnnn where is today's Common Sense? Today's Big L? Or Tupac? Biggie? Ice T? Ice Cube? Today's Wu Tang? 99 percent of the real MCs sold out or got merc'd. Now most of what's out there are these male stripper motherfuckers on the radio, a buncha pussy white kids whining about their ex girlfriend for an "underground" scene,

Time to start

[advthamonsta]

@306ness im tryina b a rapper just like common ,lupe mos def kanye and jay z and talib or nas...so i got u soon as i make it to the superstar life..deal?trust me i rap bout stuff other than p%$# no offence to girls cuz ik thats a degrating word to them.. and weed and all that...ill definately make a change and bring hip hop back ! oh and btw common fans he is coming out with a new album soon...

[Staalstraal]

[ICHausBD]

@TheVisiting thank you.

[Redarius80]

Love this Video, He's From Chi Town But Filmed This In Harlem. Much Love For Common. And No He Never Sold Out. He Just Matured With The Game. Most Realest Rapper Out. Kept It Real Since Day 1.

[onionbootyman]

So fuckin dope.

[Dopleganger3814]

My favorite Common joint! CLASSIC!!

[JMVEntertainment]

the only 1 dislike came from that disease-ridden nicki minaj

[xShiftyxMcprickx]

[jonnyQ2180]

why aint this version on the album? i never understood that

[Blazinnig]

sooooooo bangbumpin

[MrHtown25]

1st joint I ever saw or heard from Com. Common went/goes hard.

[MADNEWYORKER914]

Common Sense," Four Corner Hustla" O.G.!!!! This his first video that I saw, and I knew this ni99a was going to blow up!!!!

[Greatmurderer]

This song is one of the best songs ive heard from common, then he got Q-Tip's verse in that we got the jazz.

[onemanarmyasonrip210]

"He" Being Common Fuck Em

[01thrilla]

Common is soooo illl back then and even now he makes REAL music fuckk da haterz

[TRUTHWILLMANIFEST]

This is when Common had SENSE. Now he is just anotha sold out "Poster Boy". PeacE!

[onemanarmyasonrip210]

@TRUTHWILLMANIFEST He Is A Commercial Cat Now But He Still Makes Real Tracks Check ut Common - The People Hes No Fake Dude

[TRUTHWILLMANIFEST]

@onemanarmyasonrip210 He is either one or the other my man. "Real" or "Fake". You cannot be both because, one contradicts the other. "Common Sense" posing for Gap? I will take it for what it is. Just another 'Poster Boy". He is FAKE!! PeacE!

[onemanarmyasonrip210]

@TRUTHWILLMANIFEST You're All Caught Up On Appearance What Does Him Posin' For Gap Have to Do With His Music ? I Could Give a Fuck Less What He Does For Tonnes of Loot That You Would Do in his Shoes and Besides Artists Rap about What They Know and You See What Happens When Rappers Grow Up in the Mainstream They Simplify Their shit and Fall Off (main case Eminem) He Was Raised in the Golden Age So He'll Also Have that Message to His Shit.

[TRUTHWILLMANIFEST]

@onemanarmyasonrip210 When he was kickin' ish like this "Soul By The Pound" joint. He would have NEVA been posin' for no "Gap" or doin' any kind of bullshit like dat. Let us be REAL yo. This "Poster Boy" "Hollywood" shit? The "Industry" owns his azz bro. That is why he iz what he iz TODAY. Regardless what "Common" says NOW. His "Message" don't mean jack. Because he has no credibility. "Caught Up"? I ain't the 1 posin' like a bitch. I Just accept the FACT that "Common" sold tha FUK OUT bro. Paz!

[jhammaster]

@TRUTHWILLMANIFEST i still don't get that theory.

[TRUTHWILLMANIFEST]

@jhammaster What "Theory"?

PeacE!

[jhammaster]

@TRUTHWILLMANIFEST the theory that niether rapper sold out when they still rap about what they feel. and so what if hes posing for gap at least those who wear gap sees that he is a conscience rapper in the mainstream.

[TRUTHWILLMANIFEST]

@jhammaster Common does what he is told to do. He is owned by the "Musick Industry". That is it. No more, no less. Do the research yourself. And just maybe, maybe. You will see why he went from a hardcore "Hip Hop Mcee" to what he has become.

PeacE!

[jhammaster]

@TRUTHWILLMANIFEST wow so the industry told him to be a more conscience rapper? thats great people need to be in his label then. but wait then again i did hear on get em high when he said "i did this my way so when the industry crashed i survived like kanye spittin through wires of fire"

[TRUTHWILLMANIFEST]

@jhammaster The answer is right in front of your face. Now, you say conscience? Conscience meaning what? One who thinks? Even George Bush thinks. And we surely ALL know what he is about. I would not give this man any respect just yet. "Sold Out" yes. In what way? Common works with "People" like "Kanye". And Kanye wears T shirts with the Baphomet. Do you know anything about the Baphomet? POSITIVELY conscience is good! And those who walk with the Baphomet are the latter. NEGATIVE conscience. Paz!

[jhammaster]

@TRUTHWILLMANIFEST so what you should call no.i.d a sellout for helping ye.

[TRUTHWILLMANIFEST]

@jhammaster I can say confidently that anybody who works with "Kanye" is a "Sell Out". Do some research on this matter. Especially on the Baphomet and the "Music Industry".

PeacE!

[jhammaster]

@TRUTHWILLMANIFEST oh yeah conscience is a sense of right and wrong not thinking really.

[Blazinnig]

@TRUTHWILLMANIFEST i bet all the ppl that are dissing listen to lil wayne

[jhammaster]

@Blazinnig i listen to wayne but i love this song so what are trying to say?

[Blazinnig]

@jhammaster ..... you listen to wayne the biggest sell out faggot shitty lyrical pos that was ever spawned.. and ur talking down at common. who cares if he does shit with kanye. you would do what it tkaes if u wanted more money. hahaha you listen to wayne so obv your music taste is shitty.

[jhammaster]

@Blazinnig yes i listen to wayne and yes your right for calling him lyricall. and kanye is commons best friend so it's obvious he cares. get your priorities straight i never said anything negative about common before you troll out aand you don't know shit about my music taste if you have better priorties what do you listen to i'm curious.

[IceManLikeGervin]

@TRUTHWILLMANIFEST

So true. Common done sold the fuck out although he's still a dope lyricist just with no Sense.smdh

[IceMann402]

rawness in essence
