If you dislike this, you must think Tyga's talented.

[lilskill007]

amazing.......

[chriso7777]

These musicians don't care about ur opinions get a life

[Roninartillery]

Drake should take notes... THIS IS HOW YOU MAKE A HIP HOP ROMANCE BALLAD.... WITHOUT SINGING.

[backonbothsides]

@Roninartillery LOL!

[MrMexican4life13]

@Roninartillery damn right!

[hybridgorilla]

Dilla <3

[JusJosh90]

Most probably won’t read this but I’ll still say it cuz I feel at least 1 person will. I'm a young queer-hop artist originating from Chi. I know there's a lot of artists out there but I feel like my music has a unique style and soul that can help push the voices of the LGBT community. Just need support to do it. If you just take a min I'll make you a believer. If anyone who reads this could press the "THUMBS UP" others will see it. A simple button push makes a huge difference. Much love:)

[MrKenn311]

This is some real hip hop. This song never gets old to me:)

[mirrukarru]

This song makes me believe that such feelings and relationships are possible! Thank you :)

[WilliaMega88]

Excellent beat by Dilla. Drums have your head bopping, solid chords well placed and not overdone, same with the piano loop. Perfect chorus.

And a legend to spit over it.

[rightremarks]

"it doesn't take a whole day to recognize sunshine"... one of my favorite quotes

[LumiLicious]

[ezearl]

[frizoe21]

[MrMexican4life13]

@frizoe21 but you listen to plies,lil wayne, nicki minaj, drake, tyga, all those shitty ass commercial rappers and you call this shit? This is real hip hop not that trashy ass shit.

[DankCloudSurfing]

TheBmd19 isn't even human. With a comment like that, "IT" has to be some type of extraterrestrial being from the planet Blowjob. Commons soul is too complex and on such a high frequency that disgusting people, such as TheBmd19, feel the need to post negative shit all the time. Why did I even waste my time writing this? Whatever! :)

[TheBmd19]

You can both suck the dick pussy Niggaz common ain't shit compared to drake

[dan6759]

@TheBmd19 they both suck they can't rap for shit

[OplzITSCreez]

PAY JAY.

imortal forever

[MrCOOLAIDE]

Imma drake fan and a common fan but if drake wants to get into it wit common....well let's just say I hope he enjoyed his rap career

[puertoito]

(below me) he gotta drake tattoo on his forehead

[TheBmd19]

Common ugly, no swag, bald ass, weak lyrics having ass nigga. Drake way nicer u just tryna get attention fuck out of here wit yo fat bitch loving ass. Queen Latiffa kissing ass nigga looking like derek fisher and shit

[ThaDevMan]

@TheBmd19 Drake have a fan base of 12 year old fairy boys

[OplzITSCreez]

@TheBmd19 loooool i pitty you

[MrHovTV]

@TheBmd19 you're a faggot and you know nothing about hip hop. YOU are obviously the one in search of attention.

[rushrf13]

Ha drake? Common admits its not personal. All in good faith for music. You call out the next Nigguh who thinks he's the greatest. Its really like anything in life.. So it's not a rivalry or a gang war ha calm the Fuck down.

[briskhockey]

no need to bring drake into this amazing song. There's nothing drake can come up with to even match commons worse song so why mention him? Just listen to the music and the message this song portrays

[stavrou91]

@briskhockey Drake was mentioned because drake and common are dissing each other right now. listen to "stay schemin" remix by common. you'll hear drake's and common's diss

[tazzinurface]

Common <3 nuff said!



[TheKidBucco]

[razbitshit]

[faddyronnie]

@YoungFootz94

Hip-Hop lives on forever.. If you are looking for h.e.r then stop listening to the radio.. I used to Hear Every Rhym..

[kuyaGEN]

ahhh memories.

[Speer82]

Music that makes you think in this day and age. Positivity. Not this new bullshit.

[k90107]

Drake and every member of young money disliked this

[nustylez]

[sjgunnslanger]

Hey youngstas get over the white and black thing please...

[enesfra]

@sjgunnslanger chill dad, there is nothing wrong or harming in our discussion, can we talk about black and white thing without someone seeing it like another bad inter-racial debate??

[bishopd4w]

One of my favorites!!

[9205Bebe]

I love my baby..WB..always and forever..thank you for the dedication♥

[MrAshrafNasser]

There is some hidden sounds inside the beat calling like heey ..

[mickeymouse81266]

[bardenmarcus]

@francescoroncaable YOU KNOW IT!!!

[enesfra]

i like the black man's love, when a black male loves u he takes u like a godness, it is an incomparable feeling that white man's love cant give, this high respect and this song reminds me that love...

[angiebaby7069]

@enesfra White men love just as fiercely, I know, I have one. He treats me like a Queen. This song Reminds me of him..... that's why I love it so much. And we've been together since it 1st came out.

[enesfra]

@angiebaby7069 cool then!

[tpodomik]

listening to thiss and seeing common in just his casual clothing killing it...and then thinking about what music has turned into these days...awful man.. snap back hats, flashy chains, "fresh kicks", all this nonsense for lyrics..it truly makes me sad. i miss j dilla

[skinsfreaks1]

@tpodomik dont forget skinny jeans

[coolkidmars]

Yo im tired of all this popcorn rap bullshit now-a-days . REAL Hip Hop is dead. If you could just drop me off back in the 90's, PLEASE.

[Viperz623]

im buying all commons albums tmrw. fuck ipod

[jody808]

Erykah Badu in this video before her first album was unleashed

[ambitious0007]

@jody808 erykah badu was out before common.

[captcarisma911]

This song is beautiful

[hoodeeehoo]

Now this is grown folk's music. It's a beautiful thang!

[xphatwe]

Wow, common. Your soul & love runs deep. We need more guys like this, thats how I aim to be. Big Ups.

[MegaElias1984]

WTF theres 87 users or completely def or absolutely dumb asses!! One of my favourite songs ever!!

[316CenaSux]

Common > Drake. Drake disgrace all women's. While Common educate us about them. We need REAL rappers like Common.

[jmatt1356]

@316CenaSux Loling at how completely and totally retarded that comment was

[tubularguppy]

@jmatt1356 lol same here

[MrKeflek]

Common is Legend

[187mandem]

thicka thaw, thaw, thicka thaw, thicka, thickita thawwww!!!

[xphatwe]

@187mandem. Dats a classic line.

[buster2510]

J - Dilla this beat is timeless. Thank you.

[trevjamesc]

he played in Reno Nevada last night with wiz kalifa what happened to i used to love H.E.R

[kaylacrys143]

My shit

[rainbowrabbit]

What kind of hat is Common wearing? I always wanted one like it.

[MyFuturesX2]

@rainbowrabbit It's a crochet beanie.

[IaMnAsianFascination]

@rainbowrabbit a knitted beanie

[AshleyNicole712]

That bed looks cumfy...lol...

[kierredestiny2]

wonder why they broke up....

[jlcar87]

This is true HIP-HOP a story and meaning

[Hidjdjdj]

I like Common but I don't like his flow in this song. I kept getting lost trying to listen lol. His flow just kinda goes everywhere.

[blackricanprinces]

@Hidjdjdj I love Common's stylistic use of syncopation on 'The Light'. Its almost like a verbal racquetball match with the beat; using space where content is expected and vice- versa.. It reminds me of Charlie Parker or Clifford Brown or numerous other Jazz greats.

[enesfra]

@Hidjdjdj loooooool u right sometimes i hade to listen like thousand times to get some flows but still lost at the end...he is just masterilicious^^^

[MoneyFeen100]

shit is CRazzy.!

[Brunox995]

damn I wanna fall in love

[iamAMANdotcom]

Dis is dedicated to TERESA in Longview,Texas....from her EX...

[minirasidi]

I never call you my bitch or even my boo

There's so much in a name and so much more in you -

GOSH I LOVE YOU COMMON MAN ! <3

[Mrprincejannisg]

@Aneurysm317 i knew ;) he Produced a Big Part of "like Water for chocolate"

[Aneurysm317]

The most famous J Dilla Production no one ever knew he produced. =(

[hyyurr]

@Aneurysm317

r.i.p <3

[TheAmpleSample]

@Aneurysm317 why would they not know?

[Aneurysm317]

@TheAmpleSample Becuase he's a very underrated producer. He produces maybe like one or 2 songs for people on their albums so not alot of people will catch him unless you really appreciate hip hop and production work. They even play some of his work on Adult Swim but still people don't know that unless you listen to his music. I would say the best way to describe him is a "ghost" producer.

[TheAmpleSample]

@Aneurysm317 wasnt thinking about it that way, very true.

[SAVAGEDAWG23]

@Aneurysm317 R.I.P. J Dilla

yoo this songg describes so much.. they need to make r n b like this aqain i missin it like crazi <3 common got skillz
