Zune TV Spot featuring Common and Mixview

[ScorpioTone]

This was the Zune i loved.

[kendy4]

Zune is not for everyone is only for people who are alternative in lifestyle, people who do not want the cookie cutter shit that "others" bring to the market

[miteyboosh23]

@kendy4 sooooooo hipsters?

[EndOfTheW0rld]

@miteyboosh23 people with taste.

[JJJUICEBOX]

sick ass commercial, and i hate commercials

[HospitalMusic]

The built in speaker for ipod sucks anyway. It sounds dead. My cellphone can produce better sound quality than that.

[dctennis1]

I want to watch YouTube videos on a Zune HD! Oh wait, you can't.

Here, I'm just gonna play my friend some music through the built in speaker. Oh wait, no you can't.

I need to use the calculator. Ok, you can do that, but it takes like 15 seconds to load.

Don't hate. I have a Zune HD, it's just not that great.

[ToyFlameThrower]

My friend has a zune hd and youtube works on it...maybe something's wrong with urs?

[cubby1996]

no flash, youtube doesn't work yet. Microsoft may accept the next flash update, and we might be able to use ALL f;ash applications.

[cubby1996]

Mp3 players are supposed to be PERSONAL, putting a built-in speaker in one is wrong, and breaks MP3 player laws.

[mackenziepricee]

@dctennis1 Why would I want a built in speaker? I am not a moron.

15 seconds to load? Do not even comment on that because it takes almost that on my iPhone 3G.

No Flash for YouTube?

I dont care as I get an OLED screen to watch my movies on in great colour.

[dctennis1]

@mackenziepricee It does not take 15 seconds to load "Calculator" on an iPhone 3G. It takes about 1 second. That's just a dumb thing to say. On the built in speaker: I wanted to use it just to show friends some music without fiddling with my headphones and I couldn't do that. I don't know if you read my whole comment. I have a Zune HD and I can watch movies on the OLED screen too. Btw, I dare you to stop paying the 15 dollars a month for Zune Pass. Poof! Your music is gone.

[mackenziepricee]

@dctennis1 Nah, It really doesnt. Litteraly takes 5 - 8 seconds every time. Not even to mention I can not get through the day with out charging it.

And I know what happens to my songs if I do not pay. Plus it does not happen with all of them.

Why would I stop playing though? If I use SmartDJ I get songs not just locally on my computer but songs I have never heard before from the Marketplace.

[fiercepierce07]

Rock Rock ta the planet Rock mother fukkas!!! yea wat now its called style ask yo mom

[og5stargblood]

Does anyone know the name of those speakers?

[KenjiProctor]

Does anyone know where you can watch the other short version of this commercial? The one where they talk about how much she spent for all his songs and he is like, "1500?!". I can't find it anywhere. Thanks.

[mierendinger]

what song is this?

[BIRDSofPREY100]

the Common one is Universal Mind Control and the other is Planet Rock from Africa Bambaataa

[Sajor87]

Does Zune plays AAC files? cause mp3's suck?

[mielczar1]

yes

[sonofdasea]

how do mp3's suck

AACs are encoded mp3's are what u get off CDs

y would u want AACs

[Sajor87]

No, that's not true, AAC is just another format like MP3 just better.

[vvdavidvv]

2 easys words ipod touch

[Flunkorg]

4 easy words, shut the fuck up :)

[vvdavidvv]

just because u cant afford a ipod =)

[Flunkorg]

cant afford? lol i own all consoles plus 2 difrent pc's and you honestly think i cant afford a ipod? i actually OWN a iphone dip shit, im just saying mp3 wise i like zune more, dont like my opinion then fuck off

[jcbsides]

dude its the internet, why do you care what this guy thinks?

[GR4NDTH3FT4UTO]

why the hell would you want one in the first place?

[halodude1177]

Because they're better than the iPod in many ways. Not to mention Wireless Sync is just fucking awesome. I can leave the cable to my 360, but just hit "Sync" on the Player, and do the same over my Wi-Fi connection. I also share podcasts and new albums, plus cool stuff off the net with my bud with our Zune's.

Why the hell would you want an iPod in the first place? It doesn't do anything but Media Playback. And if you say iPod Touch, well the Zune HD is coming out to combat that as well.

[jonathanshogun]

That dont look like afrika, I thought he was a big fat fuck who talked real slow.

[thelasthallow]

to bad zune fucking sucks. GO IPOD!

atleast you can also use an Ipod like an external HDD and store other files on there. and you dont gotta install some shitty software on youre PC. i have used a Zune and installed the software on my PC and i must say its the biggest pile of shit ever! took me an hour to even figure out how to get music on the zun. Fuck that. took me 2 minnits with an ipod. plus the battery dies fucking quick on a zune compared to an Ipod. Fuck ZUNE and FUCK XBOX360.

[celledge]

lolol you couldnt use zune software? are you fucking retarded or something?? its SIMPLE

oh and the zune has a bigger screen so yes it dies faster, if you want it to live longer turn off wireless and turn down the brightness

[thelasthallow]

u know why i would buy a Zune or Ipod? To listen To MUSIC!!! Not to watch stuff i could watch at home. Thats what Tvo is for!!! so i would use the Ipod because it has a longer battery life and GREAT sound quaility

[celledge]

zune has BETTER sound quality, and better speakers, the premium headphones are amazing, plus zunes dont break every month like ipods

oh AND zunes dont scratch like.. ipods

[thelasthallow]

ok 1 MP3's sound just as good as WMA's you say the Zune has better speakers? ok then BUY better speakers for the Ipod. my friend has an original 30 gig ipod and its perfect. it hasent broke yet. its a fucking MP3 Player who gives a shit if its scratched. if you drop a zune it will break and scratch. this happened to my sister zune. it fell of her desk and broke. real sturdy piece of plastic

[celledge]

zune can play WMA's and MP3's fyi,

by the way no you can beat the shit out of a zune and it wont break, either your bullshit or your sister must of THROWN it into her desk and broken it,

oh and zunes are cheaper, and they come with better headphones, so you can still buy better headphones anyway

[thelasthallow]

i just did a price check and you can get an Ipod cheaper than a zune.

realy? if you beat the shit out of anything it will break. get a video of you beating the shit out of a zune and it still works then i will bileve you.

[Flunkorg]

cheaper? wow your fuckin retarded there the same damn price! i own them both and i reach for my zune way before my ipod, P.S. my zune has a longer abtterie life then my ipod so suck on that bitch!

[GodzEqual]

1500? wtf who would pay that kind of money for a discography of anyone, that a dumb line for this commercial

[derekvanstrangle]

its universial mind control (umc) by common

[heatmorama010]

what is the freaken name of this song

[gravyfunky]

Common doing commercials for corporations now,huh. Guess money is a muthafucka. Losing our revolutionaries to this shit called money.

[omoregie32]

whats the name of this song

[hwigney]

WHO SINGS THIS SONG!??

[noodlefabulous]

common sings the song.

thats why he's hosting the commercial.

duh.

[SilentNoise92]

Apparently you do, why the fuck are you watching this?

[darthspeaks]

Once again, without the negative points put there by haters:

Yeah - this guy was popping (like Britt Spears) not rapping. Completely disjointed ad - Zune sucks. Will someone please invent a fucking 8 GB music player with no stupid string attached? No fancy fucking power hogging display - just a fucking memory card with a CONFIGURABLE operating system anyone can write for that actually plays drag and dropped MP3s!? Holy fuck businesses are nazis!

[darthspeaks]

That moron in that Pharoh get-up looks like the washed up boxer from the movie "Mars Attacks"!! Ah hahaha!

[saikasha712]

"That Moron" is Afrika Baambataa. You know, the dude who is kind of the forefather of rap. And who was a found of the Zulu Nation which does good for the world every single day.

[darthspeaks]

Yeah - this guy was popping (like Britt Spears) not rapping. Completely disjointed ad - Zune sucks. Will someone please invent a fucking 8 GB music player with no stupid string attached? No fancy fucking power hogging display - just a fucking memory card with a CONFIGURABLE operating system anyone can write for that actually plays drag and dropped MP3s!? Holy fuck businesses are nazis!

[WilltheMagicAsian]

Hmm my drag and dropped mp3s work fine. If you want something else get a rockboxed sansa.

[darthspeaks]

Another thing... notice the gorilla above him... hmm

[darthspeaks]

Saying this - they should have give MORE face time to HER and not those kiddie pop dudes...

[darthspeaks]

She looks 30 years old and her facial expressions and what she says makes her look cute I guess. When you find out she's a lesbian you will not find her all that much more cute...

[Darking666]

the song in this commercial is called ''Universal Mind Controll' by Common ft Pharrel

it was inspired by ''planet rock'' by afrika bambattaa

[omid11]

Fuck zune DRM raping all you slaves.

[WilltheMagicAsian]

Hmm enjoy your DRM iTunes music.

There is no DRM with Zune.

[omid11]

It's called:

Piracy.

Now do you understand dipshit?

[chanvincent92]

iTunes is DRM-Free *pwned* ahaha

Blair Robertson from Chicago. Yes, she is sexy.

[eyeluv2dance]

[chaserooo123]

I wish i could get on the Zune Marketplace and start talking to my favorite artists... =(

[nymets05]

Common Is the man! His shit is the shit lol

[314fasho]

Big Shout to Common for showing one of the pioneers of hip hop some love, for all you folks who don't understand this commercial, common used the bambaataa sample from planet rock, which was the ultimate breakdance song in the 80's for his new song, the move with the hands was a small breakdance move, look at the bambaataa video planet rock to see more moves like common's hand gesture and listen to the similarity in the beat, and they said rap music wouldn't last LMFAO!!!!

[bojangles37]

rap isn't lasting... it's worse than ever and barely rap. common's just ripping from the rap champions, how does that make him so great?

[dotchrisproductions]

ageee

[bow2urepnoy]

Well do you know anything about hip hop? if you did you'd know why he's dope.

[bow2urepnoy]

He was popping. not breakdancing.

[ultramarine52]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

LOVE HIS MUSIC!!!!

[snorman99]

I know it's been said already, but that girl is really cute!

[keykeyx10000]

Love this commercial. Who is the chick actress?

[chisound23]

idk, but it looks like that gurl from the movie juno...

[Sk1man15]

Universial Mind Control...its actually located to your right under Related Videos... :)

[DrVonNostrand]

[julieyoufreak]

[DKxSkate]

WHAT SONG IS IT?!?

[jaroondee]

[shovikuzumaki]

what song is that

[fullofshannon]

this ad plays every commercial

[brawlman7]

dude his shirt is awesome i want it X)

[ldksparda]

god that commercial should end. It freakin' goes on like nearly 3 times during a commercial break. -.- I hate that rap shit. and that chick looks like one of their hos. METAL FTW! \m/

[SilentNoise92]

It's not rap, do u hear mindless rhymes? Dumbass. It's called hiphop.

P.S. you probably look more like a ho than that chick does.

[colin313]

the best part of the commercial is when common does " rock rock planet rock" in the robot version sort of

[barber240]

Daaamn, common is the gunsmith in Wanted? Never noticed that till just now.

[arijohary22]

no shit

[JordanRh1]

Awesome hat

[nah900]

I like "Universal Mind Control" but calling it amazing is a bit much.

[pollinator667]

universal mind control by common

[bamfan2044]

whats the background song?

[bamfan2044]

whats the background song?

[DatKidFromNy92]

the girls name is blair robertson shes a stage actress

[walkinghugzone]

O! I love the Rap-ette!

her big ol' eyes remind me of an adorable puppy!!!! OOOOOOO

AWW how cute

[lagger2]

She has a pretty smile.

[daz96shady]

common the g

[poohceltigers]

Universal Mind Control

[er0g]

hehe this was cute:)

[arseface73]

boniface428 you are a fucking retard! my point isnt whos version sounds better! the whole point is that the commercial is about influences!the planet rock version doesnt actually sound bad or commons version either. just that zune should have included kraftwerk in the commercial if its supposed to be about influences! dumbass! and by the way if there had never been a kraftwerk there quite possibly might not be most of the music as we know it today! including rap!

[noiryork]

its just a commercial dude. They didnt need to go through the entire history of this song's influences in a 30 second ad.

[liebmichinzimmer483]

Does anyone else get annoyed by this commercial

[DatKidFromNy92]

i do

[TimeChristis]

I do. It shows up before 90% of the videos I watch! The woman looks like a normal woman (I don't get this cute/hot business)

[liebmichinzimmer483]

I agree. It's in like every commercial break and i watch it and I don't even remember what its for! I think its a pretty ineffective add

[10023904]

what song is this

[fresapaletosa]

universal mind control

[hydroids]

i never thought common would go mainstream this shit sucks

[skatefastXpartyhard4]

who is this chick she's BANGIN

[18zela]

I love this commercial. The song is nice, common is fresh, And everything else is good. I like the way the young woman talks and everything she says, I mean this commercial is one of the best in my opinion.

[bambooshaq]

wat up wit the hat

[poohceltigers]

thats his style

hes a little crazy with his taste in hats but hes been like that for years

[arseface73]

just wanted to point out that neither one of them mentions who originally did the song that the beat was stolen from: trans-europe express by kraftwerk! shame on them for not mentioning that!

[tennisgenerationx]

lol ur a retard

trans-europe whatever is garbage

[arseface73]

no your a retard, just like anything else music , movies etc.. you should always acknowledge where an idea came from! and the original beat from planet rock came from trans-europe express wether you stupid ass likes it or not!!! oh, and by the way common or africa bombatta neither one are fit to suck kraftwerks dicks! theyre both unoriginal fuckers just copying off someone else like most musicians nowadays! where has originallity gone?!?

[boniface428]

who seriously gives a fuck? bombatta did more for that stupid song than kraftwerk did so get over it and appreciate the fact that someone thought the song was worth re-doing so it sounded better.

and if you listened to anything by common you'd know he's good, especially his older work

[fallen3453]

universal mind control

[z2x2]

universal mind control

[dulcetpurr]

GAY! THIS IS SO GAY!

[raymurder666]

Love the song "Planet Rock" & "Universal Mind Control...I dig that part when he does that thing with his hands rock rock rock rock rock

[threezy350]

this girl isnt even that hot so idk why everyone is all hype acting like shes the best looking girl on youtube

[shgotti22]

"well maybe not the hat" I love this commercial.

[prmaster]

am i the only one who finds that beat annoying???

[fallen3453]

yea right...

[ldksparda]

God, I am so sick of seeing that commercial on tv run like 4 times during every commercial. I bet that chick was banging both of those guys. -_-

[kagegk]

What? I'm guessin ur not too much into hip-hop...

But anyways, first song is "Universal Mind Control" by Common and the song where he's talking to Afrika Bambaataa is "Planet Rock" by Afrika Bambaataa

[spinsanity]

that girl is hot!

I love a girl who loves hip hop!

[liteskinhunnie]

lmao, i dig the "hand part" too that's the only reason i sit through the commercial

[dodgechargr74]

Wait a minute who can I take home to my disapproving father? lol

[ScribsProduction]

haha his hand movement is tight.

thatd be kwl if common could pop and tut.

[EYEsoFLY]

FFFFFUCK

[ptcrpsnt2000]

the way they talk about influences, etc. made me think this was an ad for swingvine at first. i guess i'd use a zune...if it were free lol

[ricky51188]

The software is.

[alyzzay0]

i love when he does the "rock rock plantet rock" with his hands...lmao

[Bigempty00]

You can get his new album for 99 cents if you have the zune desktop software. Common is awesome!

[RoyaltyAuthority]

THAT CHICK IS SOO FUCKIN HOTT!!

[SmashBrosBrawl]

lmao.

[M19A91S]

[bish0p2004]

Nope, that's my favorite part!

[miteyboosh23]

[gcastro44]
