[Conc4pt]

Sadly 7 Justin Bieber fans where not entertained

[ozzy86blue]

Is there anyone out there who can make an instrumental for this? PLEASE LET ME KNO!!!!!! on my page or sumthin lol

[ifwere1021]

Anyone know who produced the beat? A rap this good is nothing without a beat this good.

[mcastro456]

@ifwere1021 Neptunes aka N.E.R.D. aka No-one Ever Really Dies

[MrSunsFan1]

Good shit man. Dis beat go hard as fuck man....Best in the game right now fuck everyone else

[bt55]

@xOrashix haha right

[MesiahPoet]

The Illest !?

Yes definitely !

[ooougotsniped]

common is a beast fuck lil wayne

[susiebear707]

I was meaning to put this song on my iPod :)

[DatNiggahJustin]

nothing nothing nothing nothing nothing you can do...

[MrYoungkriss]

Love this song: )

only thing is that it sounds like it changes song when he goes from "nothing you could do" to the rap.

[thermos531]

@MrYoungkriss yeah thats the point. kill multiple beats on the same track. :)

[tmanjr968]

this is loud blastful shit!

[tmanjr968]

this is some hard shit

[NewOneBeatz]

The only real hip hop song on the album.

[MusicMixable]

Best song off UMC followed by Announcement

check out the mix i did using nas cant forget about you instrumental and gladiator verses and my own hook

[Ginga]

I love this track. The trumpet behind the beat and melody, Pharrell's vocals and Common spitting fire.

[hbolle00]

Nothing, nothing nothing nothing nothing you can do....

THEY SAY HE'S A GLADIATOR!......

Are you not intertained?!

YIIR ;) best song ever..

[Morterica]

this is so magnifico

the song that iwas oido antes, no completa, pero me gusto como empiesa y despues PA locura...:::D

[Redkonvict]

This song is siick

It starts of slow...then BOOM! The music hits ya face

[Redkonvict]

Common is at least one of the top ten rappers alive

[KamuntKurush]

Amazing. It's not like I've got the verbosity to adequately describe Common's verbosity.

[icedout24x]

@KamuntKurush

I don't think so either. Don't worry, for you may triumph at another irrelevant task like giving yourself a cumshot. Good luck next time.

[LaR3volution]

the beats are crazy good

[Comandercool7]

This is not your typical common song, but for some reason.... I like it

[clintccw]

All of common's shit should be like this.

[calderownz]

Like Paul, I'm 'revered'.. Murder.

[ApoetsPoet]

HOTTEST TRACK ON UMC!!!! 2. Announcement 3. ???? WASNT FEELIN MOST OF IT AFTER HE CAME SO HARD ON BE AND FINDING FOREVER

[Apastwaitingtodie]

@ApoetsPoet Don't forget, he was fresh as hell on Like Water for Chocolate. It was what started his climb to fame, after his 90's hit called I Use to Love H.E.R. that is.

[Phantasmzero]

What the f*ck is this?!

Common?

Since when did common rock over hot ass beats!

This is the sheeit! REAL HIP HOP IS BACK!

[iloveyouuumovies]

<3 Loveee it

[barrybbalbrrRy]

[VitaNegern77]

Siiiickkk

[son3produxions]

beast

[shikamaru3333]

"Defeat yo whole army like This is Sparta" This my favorite track from Universal Mind Control.

[Littledude5883]

PLATE'inum :P

[CeLBlueArrow]

COmmon straight up killed this track..!!!

[JonesDemeanor]

In my opinion it was Common's weakest album. Not saying it sucked, I just didn't get a feel from this album like I got from his previous albums. Don't get me wrong i like this track and inhale.

[Arc520]

they say he's a radical dnt fitt da game

[chrisrook21]

The neptunes WENT IN on this beat!!! DAMN!

[kaylakiss100]

i love u common xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

[WebbsInferno]

damn common goes hard on this shit...

[hazeddon]

"some of you model bitches are so overrated" lol line of the year(well last year)

[TsukiSoraShakai]

I agree with SMR

[DarrickDeBonair]

whats the sample he got the nothing you can do part

[Brownpride88]

@DarrickDeBonair

it's a small part on the end from Queen's bohemian rhapsody

[DarrickDeBonair]

really i listened to that song like 4 times looking for it

[Brownpride88]

Yea...I know what you mean, but i've always known that it had to come from this song so I listened real close to it and then I found out that I was right. It's a real small part from the song almost at the end.

[smrfox99]

He didn't rip this track, he DESTROYED it. I hope they never release the instrumental, because no one can rip it like Common. It's like trying to rap over "Nas is Like" 's instrumental.

[LepaShandy]

OUTRAGEOUS song

5/5 Love it

[kingxcampbell]

This song is great

[Cilogy]

this is the best song on the album, very nice beats and use of the trumpet (?)

[dionnus]

motherfuckers sleep on common. This some of his realest shit ever. I wanna see 50 or anybody else talk about this nigga and not get slain. lyrically that is. lets keep it on wax fools.

[lauralikes]

sexy shit

[jazzmo3]

pretty good song

The first single to this album sucked, so i didnt even bother listening to the album. But this song is nice.

[krgeek]

song is beast listened to it like 7 times

[CodysMahName]

Common can rip any MC in half..this song proves it..

common still got it after all these years

[LxNi]

Skinny George Forman All In Ur Grill..

LMFAO

[Supreme1125]

BEST SONG ON THIS ALBUM

[scaroni39]

scloosive thanks

[scaroni39]

Holy crap this song hits hard, great song, good job Common! Anyway guys this might be a stupid question but when Common says i'd smoke a joint, but I won't take an L." what does the L mean??thanks

[Scloosive]

well a "L" is a joint.

so he'd smoke a joint but he wont take a L, meaning he wont take a Loss.

[KoolAid70256]

Yall be sayin some dumb shyt on youtube i swear. Techno rap? WTF is that. Rap is Rap. This song is hard. Yall just callin it techno rap cuz of universal mind control. I agreee this is commons weakest album but it is not wack. So stop hatin.

[jojoda4thnigga]

i wish people would stop putting the man in a box. People tend to do that to a lot of Artist and I commend anyone who can go outside of their normal creative boundaries and make good music.

[llA2the2ndll]

Dont know y everyone thinks this song sucks.. one of the sickest tracks on the album

check out "What A World" ill song

[kimmokoolwtf]

nice track, i like how the beat changes after "nothing you can do"...

[HipHopismymusic]

itz the worst album from common

thats not just rap, thats techno rap and this is wack

sry common

[Buraq1108]

how is this a techno rap? yea the beat is hot, but its still all about the lyrics.

why are you hatin on common, you have a few comments on this video about this being bad.

Common does his thing, reps chi-town music, which is amazing. Point and case, i'd listen to anything by Kanye, Lupe, or Common.

[rocwiler0]

best song on the album

[Buraq1108]

"i'd smoke a joint, but I won't take an L." "skinny george foreman, all in your grill" hottest lyrics in the song

[jerrycee777]

when that beat comes out after the intro, shit  hits hard!

[bunkercakes1]

2:55 love this part

[mapleleafindica]

Common is Freemason like Jay-Z ect...

[THEMAYNE15]

no hes not thats some bullshit

[PirateLordAtomsk]

Tell em! all of em are. its fuckin obvious but people are blind its sad isnt it ?

[DocGreen15]

Ya recon, where ya get that from mate? Or come up with that...

Interesting... it seems Kanye has got to him... this is shite!

[GODxSON8]

Kanye has got to him? Did u hear BE or FINDING FOREVER? They r sick!

alot of people considered ELECTRIC CIRCUS a flop and everyone forgot about him until Kanye produced BE.

if u really cared also, u would know this is temporary. in an interview he mentioned this album is just to add to his catalog cuz he never hears DJ's spin his records to ignite a dance scene and this album has that kinda feel. In other words, the old Common will be back

[jojoda4thnigga]

took the words right of my mouth.

[srlwa]

lol stupid ass!!! COMMON AINT DEAD!!!! LOL

[HipHopGuardian1991]

Common went hard

[samsam204]

Love it xD

[FlyingMonkeys367]

Lil Wayne is whack!!

"i'm a shark in da water u just long john silver"

that shits retarted!!

Rip it Common!!

I Might smoke a join but i wont take an L!!

Hip Hop Lives!! Thumbs Up!!

[1BlaK99]

@FlyingMonkeys367 common said "they say my shit is bangin, niggas think it's gang related" lol Lil wayne can't even touch the hem of Com.

[ChrisSchwanrez]

@FlyingMonkeys367 couldnt of said it better

[ChrisSchwanrez]

@FlyingMonkeys367 couldnt of said it better - lilGayne is dead when he started rollin x..

[RoyalSwagGeneral23]

@FlyingMonkeys367 Search for 6 foot 7 foot and tell me he is whack still. some of his Verses suck all rappers have sucky moments sometimes but 6f7f he ripps it

[gsmskdj]

doa n glad

[sincerehiphop]

this vs. jay z's DOA...

[dariust36]

This is disgusting, sick, nasty.... Pharrell is a ridiculous legend... Who's gonna follow in his footsteps like Kobe did Michael?

[Inapropriate1]

Man, All Respect to Common but he better kiss Pharell's feet for this album.

All Love but without Phareal he would have been jus releasing this as a Mixtape nonetheless released "The Believer" by now.

[Africanman14]

your retarded, its just buisiness, Common hopefully, doesnt even like Pharrelle, hes a fag

[THEMAYNE15]

why would he kiss his feet this is commons worst album

[HipHopismymusic]

yo brother thats right, itz his worst album

2010 will be come a new album.. i hope it'z be better than Universal Mind Conrol

Peace

[Phenomenal1991]

im an upcoming mc. since you guys are into conscious rap, take the time to show me support. look up my tracks on youtube. type up Phenomenal-Luv For The Game.

[ItsTheFiasco]

hes muslim, yeas!

[whatdoyouwantandwhy]

Does it really matter though?

[HipHopPolooza]

This just shows how great and versitle common is not only can he get on tracks and send some of the deepest most insiteful messages in hip hop he can get down and gritty with the best of them

"i might smoke a joint but i wont take an L" fucking fire common is so underrated

[page1906]

My favorite joint on this CD.

"had dreams of breakin' Mike Vick outta jail; the underground rail to the NFL; I rebel NYSL, here to leave a trail like Nelson Mandel" - hardest lyric in the song.

[jon900]

This joint deserves a pose cut.  I'm thinkin mos def, el-zhi and pharoah monch and maybe busta. That would be straight fire!

[Dizzle242]

"a heart full a glory n a fist a pain"//......its crazy how niggaz like common r sometimes underrated but yet ya got yung snots like soulja boy rappin shyt n it's considered mainstream

[whatdoyouwantandwhy]

Hip Hop was never intended to become mainstream that's why you only hear novice weak shit on mainstream rap. Hip Hop is for the underground a symbol of unity within a people.

[superdupermario0]

Common is a beast!

I love how its all calm in the beginning. (:

[Africanman14]

im proud of Common, he never makes a song that sucks!

[treuytreuyKO]

this album is sick

[iGotSpaceLikeNASA]

what awards u got biatch?

[irockmoonman]

yeah wiki him actually you are a fail for being unknowledge him

[weepaul666]

Dont like this new sound Commons go for. Go back old school

[Shaby1]

[kocyla57]

niezniszczalna energia ktura laduje mi banie orjent panie, przebudzisz sie na kolanie... sfiz? bania sie nieklania

[Davemo69]

[Budda1992]

[Davemo69]

[adof1181994]

[Oscafield]

[broox1117]

[DreadBoy531]

[broox1117]

yes I know...chad hugo... I know all... But Im fan of pharrell .... he did almost all of this job...

[porky289]

lol. You know all?

[broox1117]

more than you biatch

[smither1311]

the way the tune mixes with heavy bass and a soft corus is amazing when u first hear this tune and still is sik one of the best tunes of u.m.c amazing

[Jboogie73]

This is more like what I'd expect from Common...brilliant!

[IllmaticRelapse]

this joint is tight, its growing on me fast as hell

[joessteelers]

i might smike a joint but i'll never take a L

that was hard

[blacktsunamit]

Finally-- with tears down my eyes

hip-hop classics make a young boy cry...

They say his radical... dont fit the game...

why would you want to "fit in"

Keep it real Common!!

[sincerehiphop]

still smoking good......plz cop the album classic and still going hard since Be.....only one better......Nas

dont get it twisted nuccas I'm form the Chi, 122 & Wallace get at me 4 real!

[kaiyeem]

South side Chicago stand up for our hip hop future legend Common

[Supreem513]

common neva fall off!!!!!

[gittygittygoo1012]

this song is freaking fire, spitting lava

[fredfuckenloko]

Shit is wack...he starts of with a perfect sample and fucks it all up..nasty...

[fotojockdbee]

(3:37) "How could  you even question this" - He said it I didnt...

[fotojockdbee]

man eazy, I think that's what maybe, you know makes this song dope... I think u kinda do too... I mean this formula has been done many x's b4... I'm sayin' it's like the calm before the storm... theres roomto breath too... when dude do this in a show or concert, u know? Dope though huh?

[ysgtimothy23]

people still saying "Dope"?

[EazyGodfatha]

The song is pretty cool, although not so good when it changes from the "there's nothing you can do" to the other singing, it seems like its changing the song ;)

[calyspo1]

SOng was classic common had a battle feel to it with the drums on the beat still kicking the knowledge HIP-HOP CHI-TOWN STAND UP!

[canuseonelastmansens]

still wlcom

[nytron300]

killing it once again

[sk8en8]

WHAT A SICK SONG! Common has mad talent. Been in the game for 17 years and he can still rip it. Other "rappers" should talk to Common to find out how not to sell out. Too bad we'll never hear something so raw on the radio.

[THNF89]

i heard this on the radio this morning

[yeaboymanidude]

WHOA!

i gotta tune in to YOUR channell!

my radio plays that stupid ass stanky legg shit!!

[WoolStudios]

nice and stuff, but this aint the common sense. no pure style, but electric kanye wannabe. like his old style better.

his common mind is dead...

[keeganz1]

Your opinion is your own, but mine is that you're crazy.

[SydneyTaylorA]

Agreed to a certain Degree

What happened To Common Sense??

O well he's doin his thing and I love it either way!!

[patrickriley360]

I'M PROUD 2 B A GLADIATOR!!!

[hip2thabone]

Sick, man this is what i like about common when he's in this hardcore mode.

Now this is what u call real hiphop, get that lollypop bullshit off the radio's.

[vatraljski]

Exactly!

[ShiningGlory]

O.o

I would marry this if it was a chick.

Its that beautiful

[J9SHOT]

Chi- town Stand Up bee-Yatch!

[J9SHOT]

Dis Sheeyat Iz Sick Beeyatch!

[iXH3r0Xi]

nothing u can do

[vyceapparelo]

i agree with johnson jay z woulda murded this beat ahwell haha

[xNaSxAZx]

NOTHING U CAN DO!

[johnsonj005]

Jay-Z with this ishhhh...would murda it

[chaingang342]

this shit bumpin!

[reekosuperproducer]

pharrell makes bangers!

[frajaja]

slim thug rules everywhere

[dug699]

this is what kanye shoulda done with auto tone

kanye sucks this is real hiphop what he's doing is some gaybo semi techno shit that you cant even dance to

or bump too

or even headrock too..

fuck is that

[taylor1234554321mnbb]

dude your so right kanye isnt gangster no more he needs ta get shot then hell be ganster

[sepin2]

he made his album like that because his mom died and is fiance left him so he put all his pain into that album he said that album was an experiment the old kanye will be back june 19 this year

[beastzman]

you ignorant fools all you care about is guns and "gansters" al these rappers to suck biggie is a legend cause he rapped sense he rapped about his life where he came from just so happened to have guns in it

[sepin2]

who are you talking to because i dont listen to rap i listen to hiphop you need to do some reseach before you comment you dont know what i listen to so hop off

[irockmoonman]

wtf you tryna say yo...made no sense

[DarthBerial]

Common so killed this song.

This album he went so hard!! Nice way to make a comeback and if you don't like his shit well there's "Nothing You Can Do" I might smoke a joint but I won't take an L. Hotness!!
