[InsaneWEBER]

common sucks. cool he's telling a story but it doesn't sound good and his flow sucks ass. a lot of other rappers can manage to write a story thats also entertaining to hear.

[luneytoon1]

@InsaneWEBER Suckin on Lil Wayne nd Drake?

[Darkassassin505]

i love story telling songs. its dead and gone........

[MusicFreak7891]

Damn that queenpin is a sneaky bitch

[XxRipPacAndBIGxX]

story telling has been long dead. it sucks that instead of having Pac, Biggie, Big L or Big Pun, we have to deal with homosexual popstars like lil wayne and drake. the only ones we have left are Nas and Common, and both have gone on music hiatus.

[StripeyRain]

@XxRipPacAndBIGxX common's got an album out on the 20th and nas is working on his one

[OneWayOffical]

@XxRipPacAndBIGxX Well we got Eminem back

[CurtHawkmanMcGurt]

@OneWayOffical Who cares.

[OneWayOffical]

@CurtHawkmanMcGurt Look at the comment I responded too dumb ass. It says we lost nas and common both in Hiatus. And I said we got eminem back, eminem is one of the realest and his songs are deep like commons. Also Common isnt on Hiatus, his album just dropped or is about to drop real soon

[mikealno1]

Song is awesome. That girl's a biatch.

[3arcutubelegend]

did anyone actually listen to the story? the lady is bogus and outsmated them.

[Anerd8]

common looks like bob marley on that pic

[amblors]

I didn't appreciate this song until i saw the video. damn good video.

[44standaman]

Kanyes an amazing producer

[efonius]

Great story-telling!

[Mario856]

this video really was amazing 

[CronoLegend]

Where is the background song from?



[SexiSexi215]

@CronoLegend honey cone innocent till proven guilty

[executivelance]

This is why some hip hop artist are geniuses. In order to make great music, you must know great music. Props to Kanye & Common, but all the credit goes to Honey Cone.

[octacon8]

aaaa man why does this video only have 109000 man that sucks

[devaughn850]

between this album and late registration is probably kanye's best production

[Youngflawless89]

What up with the long pause before the song starts playin

[MrHannak]

loveee it its not to long thouuu...;)

[AsiLayFlyying]

It sad that rappers/instrumentals like these don't get notice now a days, but Wiz Khalifa and Wayne put crap out there and everyone goes crazy

[robertbils]

haha and fox news thinks common should not be welcomed at the white house. Like kanye says dont listen to anything u hear in the news

[playmakers372]

THE REAL!!!

[GunBunnyShift]

Damn, your intro, man! Lolz! Still... lovin this song

[BeautyFetish]

God, he's beautiful.

[NoChaser101]

longest damn silent intro ever,,,but it was worh tha wait!!!  #team.common

[sexytrackstar2008]

the only thing i hate about this song is that it is not long enough

[MissAshFacee]

this songs decent!

[royalrapqueen]

sick song and backround voice...

[skyiscrying53]

i like the way he used the usual suspect ending to his video

[Kuseyyy]

I remember watching this when mtv played music

[ILikeRice0KSTFU]

whats the girls name sing the chours i really what to know

[JhuntdaProdigy]

@ILikeRice0KSTFU Kanye sampled vocals from a song called "innocent until proven guilty" by a girl group named honey comb, that's the female voice on the chorus

[kushxhaze1]

@JhuntdaProdigy glad to know some people know theyre rap samples

[hollidayevery]

@ILikeRice0KSTFU she is Edna Wright from the 70's girl group Honey Cone...the song is "Innocent 'Till Proven Guilty"...Honey Cone also recorded "Want Ads" and "Stick Up" to name a few..

[PatrickStreater]

@ILikeRice0KSTFU LOL thats a sample man...check out the song..innocent until proven guilty by honey comb

[chrslbrt]

Real hip hop. Tellin a story

[Simatary]

[chrslbrt]

@Simatary Fuck outta here

[SinOfYesterd]

@REALTALK987 Maybe in call of duty, other then that you aint shit at all, i'll run that shit by you again, but then again, if i did youd throw a semtex at my computer and try to rpg jump away from the scene.

[KaunisSuicide]

The long version of this video is perfect!! :)

[SinOfYesterd]

@KaunisSuicide This is MusicIsAwesomeIPost (My other account)

I'd say those 16 seconds built up the suspense, and really helps when you've heard it before, because you dont expect it, then its just like in your face.

[KaunisSuicide]

During those first 15 seconds..am I the only one that thought something was wrong with my speakers??? Or am just going crazy..when the music started..I was like ''wth? It fixed itself!?'' lol blonde moment!!

[jules4502]

@KaunisSuicide

me too!! LOL i was checkin my volume and ish LOL

xo

[AillahKaiba]

Love the song.

[SkimmpySB]

the 15 second moment of silence made me kinda mad.

[SinOfYesterd]

@REALTALK987 Good comment, the only reason you need to use slang, intead of spelling properly, is because your fat ass fingers cant press all the buttons properly.

[Chocolatel0vr]

Indeed.

[SinOfYesterd]

@REALTALK987 Nice spelling, why dont you crack some Canadian jokes at me.

what an average American would ask a Canadian:

Do you guys have telephones?

Dumbfucks, we invented it.

[ThisAintTheHookUp]

DAMN I love the ending! She bogus ass hell.

[Jboogaloo80]

[tenekante45]

[SinOfYesterd]

@tenekante45 fucking american.

[D332Fr3sh]

scandalous women who lie on niggas

[wowitsstorie]

safe to say common one of the most under-rated of all time.

[Dutchessruby252]

@wowitsstorie he is def. not under-rated he likes the place he is he doesnt wanna be a hollywooded rapper like every one else.

[thaaeroprincess87]

Love this song... this is what got me to like Common

[UrbanClass100]

I`m loving the fact that you uploaded this tune, common is a true lyricist. This storyline was crazy! BUT DUDE this song plays like 17 seconds in! your killing me here lolol

[pimpthrilla]

Don't you love the way he paint the picture of this story. Very Notorious BIG of Common on this one. Classic.

[ZzOoAaRr]

Common's flow is ridiculous. Mad props

[jossidaboss135]

[416queen]

[boondockrasta]

Hip hop lives on through the likes of Common, Lupe Fiasco, P.O.S.... Keep on the grind.

[iDancexJasmine]

[iKayG]

@iDancexJasmine Builds Suspense.

[colton422]

last single released by the R&B / Soul / Funk trio = HONEY CONE. that is Edna Wright singing from the 1973 release "Innocent Until Proven Guilty". so smooth, so good.  Honey Cone was started by Motown HALL OF FAME producers HOLLAND DOZIER HOLLAND....who as most know are the greatest songwriting team in soul and R&B history. however, they did not write this tune.

[MrThelilman]

i love this song

[ad2swift]

The Honeycombs - Innocent Til Proven Guilty sample

[danati92]

[jaebee81]

[elihoughton]
