[HotPocketsBoy]

Sweet ass nigga

[natoriaw11]

lol but he called drake soft he need to take a seat fast

[ProjectCoup15]

Sweet as fuck

[omegamanGXE]

I was so furious when his album came out and he didn't use this beat! v_v

[kixmgc]

who remembers the gay ass person joke?

[ihateFagButts]

@kixmgc From elementary haha

[ProjectCoup15]

Sweet

[fabbrica]

man, i love this commercial. great vibe, great prod values...it transcends the holidays. common and all are A+ material. thanks for posting it!

[Blahgahbleh]

This makes me respect Common a little less, to be honest.

Fine man. I just hate Gap commercials.

[TheGrubification]

lmfaolmfaolmfaolmfaolmfaolmfao i miss this shit

[DaOrigTruthSeeker]

@shinoShaw: You are far too stupid to live.

[recgirl2]

@DaOrigTruthSeeker  It's called "sarcasm".

[TheKipKadillac]

Oh my god I thought my friends were kidding about this shit, Peace Love and Gap? he replaced Happiness with fucking Gap? LOL!!!! just awful

[ShinoShaw]

I'm white and I can clearly see the bloodlust in his eyes. How dare gap for putting this terrorist on my white tv! My poor white internet

[theprophetkato]

prime example of 'selling out'

[whaddupcuzzz]

Oh dear!

Shame on Michelle Obama for inviting this vile, disgusting, cop killing thug into the Whitehouse. What was she thinking?

*sarcasm*

[toughcookie5454]

I LOVE THIS COMMERCIAL

[SoINeedAName48]

Good commercial.

BONUS POINTS: It pisses off Teabaggers and Teapublicans!

[urbanempire3000]

gangsta rap!!! oh no!

[davidth626]

best gap commercial hands down!!

[ArianaAndMalinaShow]

I miss this commercial to :( :)

[samsamba08]

@ArianaAndMalinaShow - it's TOO not TO.

[TheEazyDuzIt95]

I vaguely remember this commercial from '06

[juleshills]

This is probably one of my favorite commercials of all time. Great message, great music production, cool artist. Happy holidays!!!

[mjwilliams75]

Does anyone if this was a real song> I need that beat in my life :)

[yourwill]

Common+GAP=Classic

[movidablue]

How is Common selling out in a GAP commercial? Many fans of hip hop wear GAP's clothes. The theme of this song is universal and I really enjoy it. I wish it were a full song.

[argentino39]

-_- Gap, REALLY!?

[0123456789pi]

wow. . . . . . . . . .

[lashunda84]

I think the girl he was with in the hoodie is his daughter. I saw it on a few sites that she was in this commercial.

[DoubleLwithWARZONE]

@lashunda84 naw, thats the girl from everybody hates chris

[lashunda84]

@DoubleLwithWARZONE I thought that too but I paused the screen and it's not her. She looks kinda like that girl though.

[msbandgeek16]

ha! i rememeber this peace love & gap!

[xSTiZZLE]

man i wish this was a full song

[06alwilliams]

Common said it in "real people": I was told by the chief its the games nature/when your glowing some will love and some will hate cha/ its real people

[zxain]

So true.

[ice1deliver]

@06alwilliams who are you ? man i never heard anyone listen to real people from common lol his style is so ill

[06alwilliams]

@06alwilliams Im a fan of all common music, well...."Can I borrow a dollar" and Universal Mind Control were bought just to have the collection lol. But yeah people hate on him and the brother is doing his thing. I aint mad at him for thinking about the next level of success.

[LaMOi1]

Ooooh hes coming close to it.. Common dont sell out mate....

Funky Jam tho

Bring back BLOWS TO THE TEMPLE !!!

[Jughand]

how is doing a commercial for the gap coming close to selling out

what else does he have to do to sellout???

there isn't anything more sold out than doing commercials for the GAP!

[Jaybrillzz]

This shit bukku nuts!!!!!!!

[tseliottt]

sellout.

[lashunda84]

@tseliottt How is he a sellout? Because he does other things besides rap? Give me a break! Common is doing what he wants & he doesn't care what anyone thinks of him. I don't get why people want to box him in to just the rap game. He has so much more inside of him & he's letting it out.

Leave the man alone & let him do him!

[zxain]

@phammcast you and me both

[phammcast]

Def one of the only rappers out there still tryna keep real Hip Hop alive!!! Damn I wish he used this beat for a full length song!!!

[aylaaerie]

This guy looks a lot like Y-Love but I highly doubt he'd be doing a Christmas commercial ^_^

[PixieSticksRSweet]

i listened to this song for 5 seconds and my head hurts.

[Jughand]

I hope someone breaks commons legs in a dark alley somewhere.

[zwinky74]

i hope common gets the fair one on you

[hlegister724]

@Jughand How dumb can one person be to make a remark like this in an open forum...Just plain stupidity...

[tailithe]

Best GAP commerical of all time.

[WinDaRich]

totally remembered this. gap has awesome christmas comercials. wonder what its gonna be this year

[pinoytuner94]

A disgrace to his "I used to love H.E.R." masterpiece. In it he talks about how rap became commercial, and yet here he is doing the very thing that he stood against. Same thing Mos Def and the GMC commercial.

Money gets to everyone's mind I guess.

[xSTiZZLE]

yeah but listen to what hes saying in the video, the other "commercial" and mainstream shit dont talk about nothing important...at least he's spreading peaceful messages and anyone who says thats selling out is fuckin stupid

[tseliottt]

@xSTiZZLE its gap. end of story. it would be cool if it was a unesco ad. but its not. its fucking GAP. so yeah, hes a sellout.

[xSTiZZLE]

@tseliottt Who cares what it is, its still a positive message....its not like he's out making shitty music with Lil Wayne and lame ass Gucci...spreading possitive messages is not "selling out"

[punkposer]

commercial as in 'G Unit sneaks' or something to that extent, not commercial as in 'a hip hop artist rapping in a Gap commercial that has nothing to do w/ rap'.

[andtigers]

peace, love, gap

[girlnext33doors]

yeah i remember scrambling for the remote when this came on to TURN IT UP. best christmas commercial! it really made me go to gap

[Sandydahling]

I remember scrambling for the remote everytime this came on. (Go ahead and give it a thumbs down, lol.)

[davkojr07]

Where can I find the lyrics?

[zxain]

I put them in the description, did it off ear.

[bob21477]

Favorites :) 5/5 best commercial ever

[bubbabojanglez]

daym i miss this commercial, seriously common is one of the only niggas i see that stay true to the rap game and not talkin about money hoes and bitches and dum shit ike that, but yeah this was one of my favorite commercials, too bad they never show it anymore

[molotovmurder]

Common is staying true to his rhymes

and his persona of inspiring love and peace

and he's building himself up to be a business positively...

[laphrofl]

peace love and gap!

[teknicolorsushi]

My favorite GAP commercial ever!

[movidablue]

Me too! that and the Lenny Kravitz/ Sarah Jessica commercial :P

[craze01babe]

omg - i was looking for this 4ever!!!

thnx for the post!!!

[zxain]

Thanks for the comments guys.

[BoloStar08]

this is by far the most relaxing beat ever....i love it, wish he would have made a full song out of it

[danillo1993]

i luv da commercial

[megatwon45]

Damn, I love this song! Sample is used from "Holiday" by Madonna. Will-i-am sampled it and Common lased it up.

[Baxterstockman0332]

what is the sample used???????

[phammcast]

Damn Y didn't he use this beat for a full length song. Still love it years later :)

[vlombardifan]

nice beat

[freshfaceex3]

i love this commerical

[ooPaXeRoo]

one love !

[cliffbragg]

Common is just a big ass pimp.

[PoetryIzMe]

Common is so sexy and talented...*Sighs*

[sfsugcrew]

haha what a sell out. Old school Common would beat the shit out of himself if he saw this

[munkymp3]

One of my favorite commercials ♥ and one of the awesomest rap~

[lpilgrm]

"burnin GAP sweater's in Common's name, cause everything he said meant nothin when he put on them chains"

[roude108]

Prolyphic, f yeah.

[KillenEMsoftly]

thanks for uploading this video. Thought i'd never find this!

[starmanu1]

gifted like christmas so I love to w-rap ;)

dope!

[JenniferJeter]

This commercial is so freaking awesome!

Is this a real song that I can download? Because if it is then it's my favorite song on the planet! It's the bomb!

[zxain]

Sadly, no. I wish I could, lol.

[chizuka5014]

i like this commercial,but im looking for another rapper's gap commercial in around 90s.

i can't remember his name but that one was great!!!help me out if u know!

[Russey951]

i agree false ass information fucks upp everyone i cant believe i got all excited about the song which didnt exist real hip hop at its best

[yoko44]

Yep, Common was set to be GL. That would have been intense. Such a shame. This commercial is the best lol.

[TONYE17]

what's the bpm on this song

[zxain]

Off the top of my head, I would say like, 90 - 100. Probably 95, I would try to find out, but I'm hella lazy.

[EncoreTJA]

This commercial and song is great!

[munkymp3]

Gahh~ I loves this commercial! Soo awesome!

[alakazam07]

This was actually released as a full length song...

anyone know the title of the full length version?

[zxain]

No it wasn't, it was only a commercial, and if it were a song, it would be called "Holiday in your Hood ".

That's what the commercial was named.

[djayricky]

It's false info like that for someone to post on here thats fucks it up for other people

[zxain]

Lol.

[tugz85]

hes playing the role (green lantern) in the justice league movie comming out, and that guy "brody something" from the OC playing as flash

[zxain]

Really?

Shiiiiiiiiiit, I have to see that.

[tugz85]

yeah but the only actors i think they made a good choice was common for GL and adam brody for flash, they got some hispanic guy playing superman... the guy they picked for batman is ok i guess.

[Kickbutts1]

lmao its so stupid but funny

[puppylvr77]

this is my friend and i's video!!

[datniccaweems]

common a fuckin sell out

[eraContraband]

common is a damn good lyricist

but sometimes the dood's beats are a lil boring

[exception the game, be intro, finding forever]

[zxain]

Well, The Game's beat is made by DJ Premier.

Forever Begins is a Kanye Beat, and so is Be.

Either way, those are hot.

[eraContraband]

true indeed

[yeaboymanidude]

i miss this comercial.

[zxain]

Me too, I hope this years is going to be good.

[joetokal]

i really hate rap but this is pretty damn good i like it alot

[zxainv2]

Glad to hear that ^^.

[abidauron]

they should make a full song on this

[centthebest01]

Commom sense simply is king, is a true rapper

[Baxterstockman0332]

It really sickens me that artists waste AWESOME beats for commercials!! This beat is better than almost all of finding forever.

[OStateGrl08]

I think it's a different kind of good. The beat in this is good for being catchy and poppy whereas the beats on "Finding Forever" are good in that they're quality but are simply a backdrop to his lyrics.

Oh, I am absolutely in love with the beats on "U, Black Maybe" and "I Want You" and think that they (along with many others) are better than this one. =-)

[NeoDaOne]

hey, he still kept it live as he always does...shit was dope to me...

[zxainv2]

Yeah, just because he did the commercial, I don't look at him any different, he's still an amazing artist.

[lilvibe]

Yeah,so what if he did a gap commercial. yes gap may be a store where mainly white buy clothes. But most of yall would still say he sold out if he did a commercial for phat farm or south pole. Common is a great artist in this messed up music industry. He did not sell out.

[pieries]

man, the common REALLY sold out on this commercial.

The GAP is as white as a clothing store can get...and common used to be a decent indie-hip hopper!

What happened???

[zxainv2]

I guess everyone has to change =\

[seatyou101]

you're telling me that if someone offered you 1 million dollars a commercial to advertised their product, you wouldn't do it?

[pieries]

if it's someone like COMMON who has been 1 of the pioneer underground artists in the neo-soul movements, i would except HIM to say NO.

For example i wouldn't expect ERIKA BADU, MAXWELL, D'ANGELO to say YES to the GAP either.

i like Justin Timberlake, Timberland, Akon, and i would expect them to JUMP on this opportunity but not the latter and not common.

does that make sense? not get it through your thick skull this is NOT about me saying yes to a million bucks!

[Hypesurfer]

so u don't want them to make their money cause you want them to stay that cool underground thing only you and a few other people know about?

[zxain]

People are going to make money regardless, just because he did a commercial doesn't change the fact that he's a fantastic lyricist. I didn't think any different of him after I saw this for the first time.

[zxainv2]

I love the bass

[WC4Life007]

common be that dude!

[mekimmisue]

Common's sexy ;)

[kindeiixgurlll]

i wish tha song was longer i loved the beat

[zxain]

Who cares, money is money, and it's a great song.

[every1likesmnkys]

This is SAD! common is going capitalist!

[Schiavona]

Unless somehow I'm mistaken and Common has been giving away CDs for the past fifteen years, he's always "been capitalist".

Stupid commies.

[WC4Life007]

capitalist???...lol...u mean commercial

[rockerbabi2006]

Ahhhh this must die. i worked at Gap last holiday when that was the commercial... and that was soo overplayed. and we sweated on that shit. so yeah it fuckin' got annoying.

[samtastic525]

greatest commercial ever

thanks for posting

[mikeleangel]

i love this commercial, wish it was full length song too

[saldiamond]

i love this song! i wish it was a full length.

[zxain]

I'm glad people like it :D

[rcubed37]

This is one of my favorite commercials of the last couple of years.

[omegamanGXE]

I love this ad, I which he actually made this a full length song

[zxain]

Yeah, that would be great.
