[TheCr0wing]

[MichaelPietrus]

Now I see common as the cop in Date Night lol.

[lavchick101]

HEYYYYY ...does any one notice how Tariji P. Henson && the dude that's qoin to jail aka her husband in the video are both from the movie Not Easily Broken ... <3333 anyone notice dhat .. huh .. huh .. huh .. HUHHH

[pammmy76]

tajia was in dis video

[JayaWilliams2010]

ii love this song

[glennadelaware66]

i agree, love this video, everything about Common is boss

[ZacGot1]

His lawyer sat next to him, she could see how the trial was affecting him

It hurt for her eyes to connect with him, using her lies for protecting him

They arrested him for murder, and gun possession

As they read back her confession she screamed



[romainelettuce2]

You all notice how his flow gets more and more amazing during the video?

[Chinwe4]

I love dis vid, Common is like a living legend. lolllllllllllllllllll

[HomeBuyersAustralia]

That is the work of a GENIUS!!!!

[countof3everybodyOD]

nice...characters from the wire

[haben03]

@ChudaBeats why?

[haben03]

what is the point to the song??? i like it jus dont understand it

[ChudaBeats]

@haben03 the girl framed her husband

[kashiera1234]

@haben03 His wife is saying how much she wants to testify,how innocent he is and how she love him when it is ironic that she was the one that set everything that caused him to wind up going to jail in the end, understand??

[Tanaleon808]

@kashiera1234 no he doesn't understand a simple plot

[kashiera1234]

@Tanaleon808 LOL

[haben03]

@kashiera1234 ...lol yes def thank you soooo much i kno im late

[XxFreshboy17xX]

He didnt do it

[Dumbjackass]

Common has got style in both his musical style and his dress sense too =D

He's just a cool mofo tbh lol

[pitzz84]

Avon Barksdale in court ;)

[GTRLsic2]

I didnt expect the ending at all really

[MRfunnyMAN100]

common is so underrated cause his music is labled as "soft"..if he was on some hard gansta shit he would sell more but he would also be selling out ..to himself...atleast he is more real than most of these so called gansta rappers....i respect this man

[LILMENA85]

SHITD DAT FUCKD UP BUT SHITD DATS HW ALOT OF NIGGAZ GET FUCKD UP!!!

[Chyannskye]

[lomos72]

Love this track, but hate the story. When i say that, i mean, what the song is about.. I've been in this situation.. F*ck snitches...

[xxVI01ETxx]

oooo. thats fucked up.

[latoyafranca]

she is so smart how u do the crime and u let u bf take the  pain that is so wrong

[pzl120]

Just realized something after watching this video again in a while:  Is the defendent Jay Electronica? Might be a late pass for me on this one, but when I last saw the video, I wasn't really aware of Jay like I am now.

[KillinAllDay]

hes not the best rapper but the most poetic for this one

[CFC58]

Free Avon Barksdale!

[WetNWild68]

This video shows this Nigga Common is a force to be recognized!

[fernie1204]

this music video its firme but she did her man gacho ...

[hq2x]

personally i think it would've been better if they'd used the remix with darien brockington. still a great music video though.

[mikeatris]

This is a great beat, but if you listen to Rza's Be A Man song you will see where Kanye got the beat idea from.

[layah2sexc]

what's messed up is that this story is true...

[wallavious]

this song is quite similar to the plot of an old Hitchcock film at the end of which a vigilante takes matters into her own hands. anyone remember the title?

[FuriousPumpkin]

google is your friend

[chrisXBOX360]

so poetic =)

[fgh4ikj]

real shit.

[falodun]

we the lions out here. Yall gon take the kids

[falodun]

good man, good brother, good father, all i see is dope and dead folks. Halleluyah

[RETICN]

taraji is a very good actress!

[Tiagrl08]

This shit is what makes music forreal, all these lame ass mothafuckas out now need ta give it up, common is a lyrical genuis forreal. this is a GREAT video.

[BeatsNRhyms]

really dope,check out my music(no spam)

[SithLord07PL]

Man...I love this song, and I love this video.

This is what we need more of. The song and the video compliment each other, and help to tell a fairly good story.

More, pl0x

[tgrace5]

@SithLord07PL so true!

[kushxhaze1]

@SithLord07PL to add to that most definitely im sick of nice cars and slutty bitches in videos that have no meaning thumbs up to you

[corsair831]

why's avon barksdale in this video exactly ? :S

[THEPICKUPMILITIA]

I think it's giving the Video a sense of that "The Wire" feel. Thus why Avon Barksdale, a Well-known face in the Wire is casting. Heck! even Bill Duke (The Judge) from Predator and Menace to Society is in there! LOOL. "You know you done fucked up don't you? "

[corsair831]

aaah true true

[THEPICKUPMILITIA]

Funny. I didn't know Steve Harris (Prosecuter) and Wood Harris (Avon Barksdale) where brothers. Looking at them now, they do resemble eachother.

[corsair831]

i didnt know that, yeah they do kind of

[BobMarley211]

damn nice vidoe

[TheLyricalJenius]

bitches des days dey goin ham on a nigga

[colapeach15]

[dodger1karina2val3]

"All that speaking her mind, testifying and crying, WHEN THIS BITCH DID THE CRIME, THE QUEEN PIN"

IT happens everywhere!

[SpockerShocker]

Bitches be crazy

[stizz66]

[drdecioabreu]

classic kanye west and common best combination duo ever !!!!!!!!!!!!

[ebeledi]

brothas watch out this is story is the truth...some women can be evil lol

[calebsystem3]

Very relaxing. Not put together very well. Kind of like it was thrown together at the last second and not edited very much.

[PaulRose10]

That's because this is the short version for tv, the original video is about 9 minutes ;)

[KeroroGunsouTX]

Lyrical storytelling at its finest!

[DaniDacey]

The guy who plays the prosecutor/interrogator looks so familiar. Where have I seen him before?

[biggnate102]

the practice

[manibbygil]

He was the husband in Diary of a Mad Black Woman

[CEGALLEGOS]

[RonChron313]

[MsSexysandra]

umbrellaseance youtube em GUY WITH THE MOST VIEWS 750 MILLION IN 2 DAYS OFF ONE FLOW.

COMMON LITTLE BROTHER

[iamadancer6]

omg this is my new favorite song, it actually tells a story, something hip hop no adays doesnt do. It has a great beat and makes u think. Common should go back to these types of songs, i feel like "Universal mind control" was a little stereotypical from this unique artist.

[mcha313]

slick production,common gets great instrumentals,too bad his mic skills are sub-par to match his paper thin lyrics

[aunicornist]

You think Common is sub-par? Are you kidding? Maybe you're just not used to hip hop that's more about conveying a message instead of just "going hard".

[saulberg]

THERE IS NO KAISER SOZE

[Purpleboi08]

That lady did it to the sample,almost like she is the sample

[bigpotent]

I might have to make a sequel to this. dam I love the way the story unfolds

[atomiksphinx77]

....damn...i mean that guy shouldn't have been dealin', but at the same time....can't believe she dimed him like that...damn...

[cristiereyes]

[teddii117]

[tonygrizz21]

I love this song... Common is def not common

[DAMOCLIES]

[shorty4reallol]

[chantoya17]

[yeaboymanidude]

[Gainesvegascentral]

man this is real shit, it aint about money, drugs, partyen, or gettin some, it actualy has meaning

[chantoya17]

i kno right! luv this song

[aldeb456]

Common, Mos Def, Dead Prez, Nas, Rakim, KRS-ONE, Chuck D, most conscious rappers past an present. After that the door closes!! Word!

[espChris93]

[cdubsell]
