Common - Real People (Live)

[KiDxAlOhA]

i came from watching Drakes Cali Christmas 2011, and common live is SO much better than drake

[bigfootismyteddy]

the song ends in 3:13 his birthday.

[neptuneniq]

wow this guy is so thug...-_-

stupid fox news

[SuperSoulmind]

real rap 

[2000hiphophead]

Common is one of the best ever. If you're feeling this, search "Let God Let God-Munchini" or "They Say-Munchini" and leave a comment. Real hip-hop lovers only.

[Nowak98765]

does anybody know what the name of the song is that common sing and there is background music with a girl saying something like i got that baby or few secs later she says jus tkeep it reall???? anyone??

[ABisopht]

Chicago ill-a-noise!

[ANGELYSTIC]

Common, le plus classe de tout les rappers...et le talent en plus ! J'ADORE !

[InnovationDnB]

It frustrates me so much on how artists such a Common don't get no recognition due to the fact his not in the mainstream. It's all this young money bullshit? (they all sound the same) It's a shame.. that real music can only be heard and found by people who are searching for Real music.. and unfortunatly that not a large percentage of the world. :(

[KINGSED99]

Rashid would bang on Lil' Wayne the arachnid! Real Gangstas from the Chi know how Com Sense used to be with the shit back in the day. He came a long way from a boy to a man thru civilization. This is a REAL legendary Hip-Hop emcee. Please do not compare nor confuse artist like these with the likes of phony, fake studio rappers with no street credibility.

[marcivhuggins]

so many views and so little likes.. that sucks

[D201RECORDS]

Ohhp that's my dad!!!

[zeppelingooks2]

o my god a rapper with a live band!? NO WAY why the fuck arent the rest of the rappers like this....

[LovinShia]

@zeppelingooks2 actually most rappers have live bands now....its the norm these days.

[008fox]

This is awesome!

sounds just like the album except for the sax sample.

[natitg]

thats exactly what makes this versino soo much more mellow....that combined with the synth

[rask8ter14]

Yeah Rashawn Ross!!!

[The294056]

I love this song.

[brettorrmusic]

YOUTUBE INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Watch the video

2. Comment on the video

3. Leave.

It's easy... I'm sick to death of idiots having racial discussions all over my famourite YouTube Flicks. Let's all get together and try to have peaceful conversations about great videos... sounds easy to me.

Speaking of which... I love this man! So talented and has some of the best diction in the business.

[loveedigveggies1004]

@brettorrmusic beautifully said :)

[Ra1gar]

I LOVE THIS TWO MENS

[M4dRefluX]

Beautiful performance.

[xshortcake079x]

LOL, yeah, put the light/mixed blk woman with EUROCENTRIC features (straight blonde weave, color contacts, light skin. Exhibit A--->Beyonce) all up in the videos, flaunt them publicly, seldom put DARK skin women/afrocentric women in videos but attest how you hate the white women. LOL that's some cool shit.

[xshortcake079x]

Yeah it seems like WW are the most dogged about in music over any group of ppl, to be women that are "put on a pedestal." HA. Rappers diss WW and dislke WW (well, publicly) yet they put these LIGHT or MIXED chicks in their videos or date LIGHT/MIXED chicks who evidently got WHITE in them. Makes no sense. I'm thinking, yeah that chick you're flaunting as the "trophy model" resembles the type of women you so very much degrade and "wish woud eat rat poison". LOL

[xshortcake079x]

You don't have to like WW, but you don't have to disrespect us or put us down IN FRONT of BW either, to seek approval. How would Eminem or Paul Wall (or any white male artist for that matter) look if they rapped about BW being "golddiggers, football player chasers, hoes in denial, chickenheads, weave wearing, attitude problem" chicks??? It's often accepted to degrade one ethnic group of women OVER the other. That isn't cool....

[Miquitzli]

this is soooo marvin gaye influenced. i LOVE it listen to mercy mercy me (same beginning) and combine it with the whole theme of the whats going on album.. so fuking genius.. ill have to hand it to common and kanye

[equalworld4]

Common!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Stefanotto1]

wud up fam, im an indie artist y'all may like..search "stefanotto" and hit me with some feedback...i dont have many personal vidz but will be up soon.

Also check me out on myspace!

[detrik23]

anyone else notice Rashawn Ross on trumpet...he's with Dave Matthews Band now...just thought that was cool

[MorningView4]

People say Lil Wayne is the best rapper alive...People should open there eyes/ears and look no further than the man with the mic in this video.

[xshortcake079x]

Lil Wayne doesn't discriminate as you hear in his song "We like her...". That's the difference between him and Common.

[MorningView4]

What you just said has nothing to do with wat I posted...

[xshortcake079x]

You were commenting how ppl mentioned LIL wayne was the greatest rapper and that Common was better. I said the one big difference between LIL wayne and common? That Lil wayne doesn't discriminate, common does. As you hear Common's negative comments towards white women.

[lupe2134]

actually wayne says in one song, and I qoute, "I give my white bitches everything but freedom and if they like rat poison I'm a feed em." He completely degrades white women in the song. Don't ever try to argue a point you know nothing about.....and if you knew anything...you would know common and wayne don't make the same music. Wayne makes rap trash....common makes hip hop soul

[xshortcake079x]

I don't disagree with you. I'm neither a fan of lil wayne, common or kayne whack. I was only referencing to "we like her too" song. If I had heard of that song, then I'd make comments about that too. But that's how rappers do. They degrade white women to earn acceptance from the blk fans, bc "praising" WW would subject themselves to be "sellouts".HA! Talk shit about WW, but try to holla behind closed doors. That's some cool shit. LOL

[xshortcake079x]

"Black men walking with white girls on their arms, i be mad at them as if I know they moms"...I dont agree with it, as i'm a white chick who interracially dates. I don't believe that a black man loses "his blackness or realness" just because he's dating a woman who happens to be white. "When we lessen our women our condition seems to worsen..." I agree with the fact that bm shouldn't deny black women, or place them under white women, but i think a man should date who he wants to date

[MistaMidnight]

So you think as a whitewoman you could know that? Cmon.

[xshortcake079x]

Could know what? All I was saying is that line is fucked up, just like Kayne Whack's line in goldigger. I'm sure Common has tapped some white ass in his time, yet he disses us in this song. What's wrong with a bm dating a chick who happens to be white. Why does he got to "be a sellout" if he dates different ethnicities of women, including black and white?

[Darrirafn]

Common is my favourite of all time, but some of his lines are somewhat racist towards white people (I understand that black people have semi more of a right to be that way, after 400 years of slavery) but as a white listener it kinda bothers me.

For example talking about black people being the children of a better God (or that's the way I understood that line). Smh.

[akajohn14]

we should hang out ^^

[eai1911]

This is a dope set featuring some heavy hitters on the jazz scene. Ron Blake on the sax plays in the Saturday Night Live Band and Karriem Riggins from my hometown Detroit, MI is dope on the drums. Common is dope!

[Rickeeey1]

Very nice xD! Common always owns.

[Lerstalad02]

Damn! Didn't know my man Common had been on Letterman Show. It's good they let the people see the best and truest poet the rap-genre has to offer today (and three years ago, when this show took place). Love the jazzy live-version of this song...one of my favorites from the magnificent "Be" album!

[Wolcott36]

Forever the shit too, Common is a musical genius in my eyes!I may be biased bc Im from the Chi! But Common!He got talent,not like "Big Headed" Kanye, Common in my eyes always been underated. But I like him like that,It's a Chicago thing I guess,but wish Common the best and if he wants to sell out like Kanye,Then let it happen.I wont be happy with it but got all his albums! God Bless the man... he took time out to respond to one of my emails at a crucial point in my life! Dude is down to Earth!

[Convenient8765]

dude common didnt sell out and he never will, he will always be a soulfull rapper. he's changed his style before with another cd, he'll never forget he is the best when it comes to jazzy hip hop

[Wolcott36]

Read my comment again stupid fuck... did I say he sold out! Learn how to fuckin read! I love that dude... he got so much talent!

[rock4ladies]

Common 4 ever!
