[NatosREekeiEinai]

Hearing every rhyme... yeah now you don't need to cause its all the same

[jasonv20012]

common is more of a jazz artist hes not a rap great like em or dre or jay. common is to soft

[diediego333]

@jasonv20012 - Are you f***king stupid?! Do you know who Common is?!

[THROCKSFULable]

@jasonv20012 did you just call common soft? Are you dumb?

[jasonv20012]

@THROCKSFULable umm look at the way he dresses and the name of this song he isnt hard at all he didnt live a hard life his raps are just jazzy

[ZatoOW]

@jasonv20012 How dumb are you? This is a honest question.

[THROCKSFULable]

@jasonv20012 Why do you need to dress hard to be hard? Are you literally retarded?

[jasonv20012]

@THROCKSFULable Im not saying anything about dressing hard he just dresses like a douche and how the fuck is he hard give me proof that he is

[Omagic29]

@THROCKSFULable :Well we know thats not true.Dude battled the Westside connection on his own.

[dhhs91]

Common is not a rapper, he's an MC.

[wahcar1]

WEAK ASS CROWD MAN!!!!! I WOULD AT LEAST HAVE RAPPED ALONG.

[missdreadlocks85]

Commom u r so great!!!

I'm your big fan.

Jah bless n protect u always...

[illpalo]

true emcee... no autotune, no dancers, no angry lyrics... just a man, his mic and his fans

[A094H2]

@RAthaPunisher You didn't include The World Is Yours or Memory Lane, the two best songs from Illmatic.

[A094H2]

@RAthePunisher

[younglove2315]

Common is one of the realest MCs eva! look at his shirt, sweating but pouring his heart! just like me that y i love him so much! fuck anybody that says otherwise!

[Omagic29]

Who in the fuck disliked this?Must be Gucci fans

[Omagic29]

That guitar rift in the middle is nice

[haroon19able]

"gRaF gUrU: Haroon X, "tha Audio and Visual terrorist!".....S U P E R - D O PE

[916marine]

Thumbs up if you came to watch this video after hearing Common talk about it on Bill Maher.

[YaHomieSmoke]

How does this have only 125,791 views, but a faggot like Lil B have over a million??

[Omagic29]

@YaHomieSmoke :Its like eating store bought lasagna and then going to a real Italian restaurant and not liking the real thing.They like what they see on tv or whatever a lil b is.There not hip hop fans there rap fans.You cant expect people who like commercial rap to enjoy real hip hop

[A094H2]

I used to love her, until she changed her name to Lil Wayne.

[USDApproved]

LOL "gangsta bi--"

[EaZiiDuzzIt105]

Common is an amazing lyricist.

[Alexei199077]

man this is lame ewww

[ruslanio]

@Alexei199077 you're a phony

[ayoitsmeeeh]

Boring ass crowd... If i was there Id be the only one jumping!

[lemonlimelukey]

music is nowhere near this good nowadays, actually i take that back. theres lotsa good music but this is way better than any mainstream shit ha

[overhead536]

a parable for american culture in general. still resonates today.

[phillieb30]

I wish there were more artists in Hip-Hop that made me feel the way this song does....oh well, I will embrace the ones that do even closer to my soul. P.P.P.EACE!!!

[CeRiAhRiChArD]

i love all of his music

[riddahKL]

This songs represents Hip Hop and it inspires so many people (I am one of them).

[grit30]

this reminds me of the song My worst enemy by tech n9ne

[mcjjwheeler1]

check the version i did /watch?v=crJ05HxQVmM

[matt2fresh84]

@Destination3G uncommon would be like a wocka or a soulja boy lol

[ThaBoyKoke]

When Kanye uses Commons lyrics in "Homecoming"

[dahellz666]

@Destination3G AHHAHAHHAH

[sweetmuthachucka]

Damn, this song needs an encore instrumental.

[Aconsigliere1]

Few mc's like common left. As he says.. hip hop is universal. Fuck lil wayne

[kosolo1988]

@Aconsigliere1 but he still mainstream...so umm yeah he a sell out just like nas ...IMMORTAL TECHNIQUE IS THE REAL DEAL

[ThaCRod95]

@kosolo1988 Nas and Common aren't mainstream...I don't remember ever hearing them on the radio. And even if they were mainstream, doesn't mean they're sellouts. Kanye isn't a sellout, and Lupe wasn't before Lasers.

[peace6311]

@ThaCRod95 lupe isnt a sell out his album just sold alot u dont see his video being played or him being interviewed that much anymore

[SlimRikkosz]

@Aconsigliere1 no dude there are over thousands good underground hip hop artist right now

[gravityhammer25]

Common is one of the best Mc's ever

[Omagic29]

The middle part was the best,with just the instruments.No new rappers do shit like this.

[luvnmesum]

Common is definately the truth, a classic!!! Luv him...

[vevoumgwmg]

Thank you VEVO for uploading one of the best rap songs ever made!

[neosouljazz]

i made a remix, check it out

[LEMRABLE]

VEVO's Hip hops most liekd this week featuring, lil wayne , nicki minaj , pitbull?? are you FUCKING SERIOUS , Lil wayne aint close to hip hop

[Sweetiethemane222]

I love the original and i barely like this

[MARMOTEER1423]

this sounds like feces and is making me angry just listening to it.

The vocals are so awkward even the people in the audience don't know how to move; look at them- they're just bobbing back and forth(also awkwardly.)

[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!

[eezybleezy]

2:17/18 sounds like bitch move when they rewind shit.

[merodicstorm]

カッコええ…

[petercow2000]

what's the line about "a few NIXXX has did her in the park? can somebody tell me the notion about the lyrics?

[SuicidalBunny0]

@petercow2000 "A few New York niggas/catz that did her in the park" is referring to where hip-hop got its start, with Run-DMC and other Brooklyn/NY artists.

[petercow2000]

@SuicidalBunny0 thanks man:D

[misslaidlaw]

Is that minnie ripperton I hear? 

[bReaKd0wNESL]

2 peoples are Justin Bieber's FANS !!!

[HistoMagouri]

He's the first mainstream person I know with a Underground Hip-Hop feel. I was introduced to him today, I feel great I found this guy now knowing there are still some good parts of mainstream.

I feel so goddamn happy I found this guy.

[blakmagik4]

@HistoMagouri Common Sense ain't really ever been a mainstream rapper. Mainstream wasn't listening to Soul by the Pound and like the whole resurrection album. Ressurrection was pretty slept on when it came out except this track. Like Ice Cube he just kinda parlaid rap into mainstream acting.

[fnd2k7]

how come, 1 ppl dislike this?

[venhellsing777]

damn, i kno this is a metaphor to hip hop but im going through stuff like this in my life, common's always there to help me get through shit and he dont even kno, good looks man, keep doin you<3 no homo but u got my love

[Crim122]

Song is so ahead of its time.

[fnd2k7]

@Crim122 i was about to click the like button, but for mistake i clicked on dislike XD The best coment in the music is yours ;)

[0litoike]

karriem riggins ! what a fantastic drummer !!

[brighteyebeatz]

i was at a common show here in chicago..a guy grabbed the mic when common was on stage ...common busted the guy on top of his head..crowed went crazy..show was over ..standing in front of the club i see the beatnuts running by...funny as hell...peace

[Soulstar333]

@brighteyebeatz

hahaha That's chi city toughness right there

[bergs14]

only 40 thousand views... travesty.

[AirJordanXVIII]

love seeing common go back to one the best hip hop classics.

[kiddodSTAR11]

real hip hop man i miss her too majorty of real people do to man

[areuben95]

Fucking ADs!!!!

[carlyyybaybehhh]

ok how are they gonna show an advertisement for Soulja Boy on Common's video?!?!!?!? ha, the irony. the song is amazing.

[kiddodSTAR11]

MAN HIS BEST SONG

[JameelMamogkat]

this was ' 93

17 years almost 2 decades

[xMPCxx]

@JameelMamogkat and still relevant...like Marvin Gaye's what's going on album...

[Dendenmooshi]

Pretty ironic. Common fell victim to the same criticism he's talking about in this song. This song is amazing because of the words but he wants to keep out the second verse and put in a product's name in it. Then he wants to cut out some words and try to add in some fake soul.

This song is more than 10 years old and in those 10 yrs common changed. He doesn't belong to this song anymore.

[thedexterbros]

@Dendenmooshi What product are you talking about, he just chanted some hip hop phrases, and what song of his has betrayed the idea of this song? If your thinking about UMC then you missed the whole message of UMC

[Anime4Life35]

How does this not have more views.....kids don't know real music so sad

[irocksogetout]

@Anime4Life35 i know real music its just that it dont come by much anymore

[sconeboy]

terrible product placement

[Unbox2Review]

wow only 24k views???? Yet bitch wayne and beiber almost at a billion..Shows how real music is treated now adays

[K2AStarVision]

Classic Common... Hey, If You Like witty HipHop Like This, Plz Click Out My Song "Stars.." Thanks!

[DooWorkSun]

kanye west copied his first line "i met this girl when i was ten years old, and what i loved most she had so much soul" kanye west in his first verse in the song homecomin he said "i met this girl when i was three years old, and what i loved most she had so much soul. listen to it! kanye west copied common

[sweetasscomments]

@DooWorkSun that song is paying homage to this song you dumbass

[olskoolsk8r74]

@DooWorkSun back in my day this was looked down upon, called "Biting", Even though Kanye is doing this as a way to honor Common it IS biting/aka copying someone elses lyrics. Kanye could be so much better than he is if he would just do what he did originally and make music he loved instead of attention seeking.

[TrentB924]

@olskoolsk8r74

So what it was just the very beginning and Kanye used a girl as a Metaphor for the city of Chicago... with the song "Homecoming", I don't think he was seeking attention.. Homecoming was a great newer song lyrically and the beat.

[TrentB924]

@DooWorkSun

so what it was just the very beginning and Kanye used a girl as a Metaphor for the city of Chicago... like others said he did it to honor Common

[rsnyder415]

@DooWorkSun kanye didnt copy common at all... he took something he did and worked it into his own song... it only makes an artist better if he pays respects to the artists that came before him

[SwagCityEnt]

@DooWorkSun yeah its kool dont freak

[Pooky1991]

Common is one rapper I really respect. Its not rough or crazy, just laid back and metaphorical.

[apolanco602]

i met him when he was promoting this song the album resurrection i met him he is cool this was back in 1994 i think i still have his aautograph it say big common sense

[14zup]

It's because of shit like this that Common is in my Top 10, hands down. This guy's one of like two or three in the mainstream who (barely) gets the recognition, and still keeps true to his roots. Much respect to Common for creating this classic.

[t3gh]

i love that the white girl raises her hand when she probabaly hasnt heard this song lol

[vanvanvan15]

Simple.

The best hip hop song of all time

[UncleTaffy]

what does H>E>R stand for?

[theotheroneone7]

@UncleTaffy: Hearing Every Rhyme

[DarkAssasin619]

@UncleTaffy hip hop essence is real/ hearing every rhyme 

[MrPOPICHILO]

This Is Crazy Dope. 1~Luv

[kingibrahimk2]

if hes talkin bout hip hop he said "She not a church girl, Secular." Yall look up the word Secular, and that is what hip hop and the industry is... wake up people

[IllMikey]

the 2nd beat sounds like Black Moon's Who Got The Props

[KingVirmire]

amazing how well this song relates to todays hip hop.

Common is one of the G.O.A.T

[Sagefrakrobatik]

@KingVirmire you should check out the MURS version of this song. Its pretty dope.

MURS "I USED TO LOVER HER"

[nuknuknuk111]

this song is more true now then it has ever been

[jayjay121990]

if you a true fan of hip hop go to youtube search box and type in "jay jay check my vision"

[TheEcstatic23]

Common proves Hip-Hop music as the true art that it is when he's one the mic.

[bboyseph]

funny cube kicked off at this song

[dance4survival1]

I know...the lyrics r so clever!!

[craiggaddy]

damn kanye bit te hell out of this song. common is the truth

[HoldOnTightxx]

this is such a sick song..its crazy how the whole time its a metaphor for hip hop, its really creative and its so true too the lyrics hes singing

[Cruz7906]

i think its also important to note that this song is from 94, I can only imagine what he thinks of hip-hop now if he thought it was dying back in the 90s...

I really dont understand how the general public would rather listen to shit like solja boy and "stanky legg" than this... Common- keep doing your thing man.

[rodekill27]

@HoldOnTightxx the first time i heard it i thought it was love song, then at the end i finally got it. I listened to it again and let common take me through the stages of Hip Hop

[HoldOnTightxx]

@rodekill27 hah same exact thing with me

[electricguitarkid24]

love common this is a classic
