[Badboynic1010]

J. Cole demolished this beat 

[cyp10]

why all u guys comparing drake and common they're two completely different artists with completely different sounds that's like comparing john stockton and karl malone--both good but completely different players it's all about preference and everyone's gotta different one

[luceyification]

drake is the shit, i love drake, drake is a boss, I listen to drake because I want to be successful!

[ShinNytRain]

The only thing that bugs me about this song is the fact that it's too damn short!! Like getting the best sex in existence and having it end in 30secs. Wish it was longer!! D:

[cantstopthereign100]

DRAKE CAN'T FUCK WIT COMMON ON ANY LEVEL..IF ANYBODY SAY DRAKE IS BETTER,U SUCK BALLZ...

Common is one of the best to ever do it. If you love real hip-hop please search "Munchini Let Go Let God" or "Munchini They Say" and keep this movement alive. Or visit my channel. Please leave a comment. Peace

[tommystacks215]

Brainwashed people listen to wayne,drake,cole,waka...-Mains­tream Rappers...People who can think for thereselves listen to Common,Mos def,Lupe...-Real Artists

[SkyKnight26]

@tommystacks215 i think Elzhi from Slum Village goes in that category, MF Doom, Vast Aire, Consequence, Black Thought,Skyzoo,Talib Kweli, real MC's i mean cats are so hung up on rappers people cosign like Diggy, Cole, Drake, Wale, i mean im a fan of cats that are themselves man ..an excellent rapper is himself man ..i support the realness not shit the other guy tells everyone to like ..people like shit cause its on the radio

[webbyisbest123]

@tommystacks215 i understand where you are coming from but saying cole is brainwash music then you just sound ignorant. Yes he has gotten big but if you heard a single track off of FNL The Warm Up or The Come Up then you would think differently of him Lupe has gotten big too does that make him bad? didnt think so.

[CDSgamez]

fellow niggers i am going to do to white people what they have done to us for decades "fuck them" ;)

[DjJRIFICATION]

@CDSgamez you know that this generation of white people had nothing to do with what happened to your ancestors and that a lot of white people are as mad about what happened back then and all the racism goin on today as you are so this comment is really racist and you are just being as racist as the white people that had slaves in the past

[ZeOgrobe]

This short Intro says much more than all Drake's discography, THUMBS UP!

[TheSonic1258]

Cole do this better nigga

[1Blaugrana]

@TheSonic1258 I'm a huge Cole fan, but come on, nothing can beat this.. pure poetry right here

[madsvh666]

@TheSonic1258 you serious? why even bother man... we aaaaall know you can't even compare Common to Cole, Common is way above...

[DJSolidify]

[westmontgomeryave]

drake and common are both good how about that

[younglebron101]

[younglebron101]

drake wish he sucked biggies dick

[holdupdown]

@younglebron101 biggie is the one who said girl you look so good Id suck yo daddys dick

[hammerman2006]

@holdupdown Yeah, Biggie was quoting Richard Pryor.

[mallrat11]

is there a longer version of this song? 2:28 seems like a waste of such slick sounding beat

[chsmalcolmjohnson]

J. Cole killed this beat . J.Cole be freestyle

[timhogan44]

i just realized that j. cole took a lot of beats from common

[masonC40]

The best intro of all time hands down

[Aesoir]

Common vs Drake? Well you can't really compare them due to the mentality of the listener.

Let me explain: when I mindlessly want to listen to a music so that I relate to a teenage airhead with no thoughts in their heads, then I listen to drake.

If I want to listen to something that actually represents and articulates the feelings and culture of a particular man, and/or society, I listen to Common.

In other words: Drake is for those who wish to remain ignorant, Common is for those who don't.

[backoffmyswag]

@Aesoir your an ignorant pussy if you think people who listen to drake are simple minded. Drake is the most real mainstream rapper today. He has made more money, more fame, more everything than common every will. Proof- we are talking about DRAKE on COMMONS video.

[Bhulle008]

@backoffmyswag money and fame don't make you real, it's about skill and subject matter in hip hop

[crownsebring]

@backoffmyswag lol...drake hasnt made nearly as much money as common...Google SAG card and see that Common has one and Drake as well as you are left out in the cold wondering what that is

[Kazeumi]

@Aesoir I think Lupe and Common would be a better comparison

[ChipotleObsessor]

@Aesoir It's ignorant saying that to begin with, you obviously can't bang "Be" at a party, you had something good going with mentality then you went downhill, if you bang Common at a party people aren't gonna react as they would to something of Drakes with a heavy beat and shit chorus, that's why dub-step has only hooks and beats.

[ChipotleObsessor]

@ChipotleObsessor and that's imo, so don't go all hardcore YouTube-r on me, because I won't feed you and I don't give a shit.

[Aesoir]

@ChipotleObsessor point taken, a reasoned and honest critique. The majority of the others that replied however... I usually stopped reading after the opening trash talking, since everything they then said immediately became irrelevant. so, to everyone else, Thanks for wasting your time! :)

[ChipotleObsessor]

@Aesoir That is also because the majority of the others get all of their knowledge from Google and Wikipedia. :P

[aswjr92]

@Aesoir foolish, honestly I loathe when people open thier mouth and shit spews out. If drake was incapable of being lyrical common wouldn't even bother. In my opinion dude realized he wasn't going to get as far and be stuck underground so he found a niche in hiphop that would allow him to get the notirity he wanted faster. At the end of the day two different subject matters and not that far a space gap in lyrical capacity as you would like to think. In addition you made a contradiction

[biggonshas2pick]

@Aesoir common is for that reason and to lift u up when ur down i mean hes always smiling and hes rarely ever swearing he is amazing

[MrKjaiie]

@Aesoir if common was as mature as you say then why is the a feud or beef in the first place? wouldnt a mature man walk away?

[AmIBenjaminBreeg]

@Aesoir You're over thinking it. It's music, enjoy what you want because it sounds good and makes an impact on you. If you really care what other people listen to, and judge them for it - you're missing the point.

[niickkjoneS]

@AmIBenjaminBreeg thats what im saying! but whenever i post shit like this all i get is a thumbs down and cussed out by some queer

[samdamaniam]

this reminds me of little bill

[joeychofosho]

fuck drake

[backoffmyswag]

@joeychofosho fuck you

[charizarduz]

how does drake even think for a second that he can compete with this.. if these are soap opera rappers drake is a 30 second tv commercial rapper

[XanderBBo]

"The present is a gift, and I just want to BE!"

[MrAk4dseveN]

wish he would of made it longer but still a bad ass track

[RocheYandS]

I used to bump this track on repeat back when I had the album! Now I cant find my ish! lol

[clownbreaker]

Been hitting the reply button over and over and over and over and yes over again.

[SPAStwelve]

@raccoonkkzyo If soulja boy raps on this beat, he would mess everything up.

[Hoodfelon]

@SPAStwelve Shiiiit if soulja boy gets on this beat I'll fuckin shoot him.

[SPAStwelve]

This music video just makes me want to think about the years I used to live in New York. I still miss that state.
