[Kaeser37]

@2pkjs1351 It was a joke and yes I know who TheMarkOfJ is. I wrote this while he was doing his let's play of GoW3

[gahzeyboe]

Quick, how many Biggie reference are in this song?

Over 9000? Correct.

[PlayaplayaAP]

What are the name of the head phones @ 0.01 Any one know?

[Eddie0ne91]

@PlayaplayaAP can't believe you don't know. Those are beats by dre, most famous headphones ever I think :)

[PlayaplayaAP]

@Eddie0ne91 Wow Nice !! Thanks!!

[wickertl]

[Kaeser37]

TheMarkOfJ sucks Kratos's dick.

[2pkjs1351]

[TheMarkOfJ]

fav common song

[rangers25rdb]

Pharrells a stylish motherfucker

[Sahjinskii]

i only watched this because of maryss and rino, the songs pretty stink

[charlosovich]

Way to copy biggie with the first verse, listen to Biggie - unbielavable, cause the first verse is the same, and also cause biggie is real not this new school shit

[rangers25rdb]

@charlosovich He's paying props you idiot

[rtadd]

tightest dancers on earth PERIOD

[Jibbyjabby12]

Its sad when they blur out the word "gun", Thats gay!

[clemenza1234]

Oh cmon, this isn't as bad as everyone made it out to be when it dropped.

[VBH120]

man idk what people are talking about this song is tight and i happen to love hip hop people like MF DOOM and jay electronica this isn't quite hip hop but i like it idk mabye it just me

[ThuGGinIT23]

Instead of listening to the REAL hip hop music and you dumb ass people are complains about the lyrics..... Common is a lyrical monster since the 90's and mainstream artists can touch him!

[thegift336]

yall stop being so sensitive n just enjoy the song...besides, they showed respect to Biggie...and i cosign with @animalsos on that (harmless)slavery comment/analogy...btw i loved the two dancers! tight!

[Snorkel23fan]

Now...if a white person had a line like "push more whips than slavery" in their song, people would be pissed off...

[animalsos]

@Snorkel23fan yea cause they owned slaves....cmon you cant call reversees on something like that

[LyriculAssassin]

common did his thang on dis track

[ArbyWanKenobi]

This some weak shit on Common's part. Seriously, push more whips than slavery?! Sad.

[swiftbirdman]

Ok this is the most unrealistic ass music video ever. Aint nobody able to draw a straight line like that.

[fiftytimez]

sooo um...i didn't even know there was a video to this song but this go hard...real hip-hop lives!

[ELIJAHFREESTYLES]

Com go hard on this one. Love it.

[SHOGUNX8]

the other vid is better

[robreht]

@TheImmortalGrundle dude! everyone knows this track has written biggie allover it, stop bitchin on common as in "he can't rhyme, he's a copycat, he's a sellout,.." wtf, fo real, he's one of the most versatile emcees who has always expressed his own feel(fe electric circus). and if you can't recognize that you really have to check out the entire common-discography or.. just don't put that shit underneath my upload. nuff said!

[awesomness99]

@TheImmortalGrundle and just because someone else has done it before, it does not mean that they own it.

[redenguerrero1]

@TheImmortalGrundle

what song or album from biggie's is the beat or song taken from?

[BoogieLoco]

@TheImmortalGrundle I've got to chime in on this and I rarely comment on YouTube. Dude, it's clear you don't listen to music. If you did, you would know that this entire song is honoring Biggie. Listen to Com say "What's Beef" and "Me & My Bitch" in his 1st verse, both Biggie songs. Then go listen to Pharrell's entire flow in the 2nd verse, honoring Biggie again. All real fans know that this is done out of respect because it's so clear. People always need to be outraged by something...

[SurroundedByIdiotsTV]

PHARRELL RIPPED HIS OWN BEAT

COMMON WRECKED THIS TRACK

is good music

FORREAL!

experimental yeah, it showed a different side of Common but i think it worked out well

LOVE THIS SONG

LOVE HIP HOP

[boxingfan213]

common spintin rhymes and skateboard p on the beat...dope ass track

[FlaviaLPC]

I LOVE COMMON!!! Flávia LPC (Brazil).

[Dyallo1988]

I NEED THOSE BEATS

[DJstearl]

1 is that rino and 2 is that beat by dr dre cuz thats what i heard

[jojohtl89]

@n0time2spare AGREED :D

[jojohtl89]

0:19, Maryss from Paris and Rino :) Maryss at 1:37 and 1:39 xD And both of 'em at 2:19 =D

[Thrawn]

beats by dre

[MrJoker1408]

correction on the lyrics, i'm only saying this cause it's the most spoken word in the song it's not "gonna take you to the tip top baby" it's "i'm finna take you to the tip top baby" it's chicago slang for i'm feeling to or something along those lines either way point being common's from chicago so yeah it's definitely finna not gonna

[ColinRayko]

pharrell killed that biggie style

[718HOUSE]

lame chorus

[SafeeG]

Pharrell is tryin 2 rap like Eazy-E!

or is just me ?

[Justs0MEGUY11]

@SafeeG more like biggie

[Carpazo0]

ich will die brille von common, kennt wer das marke/model ? =)

I want the glasses from common, who knows the brand / model? =)

[Elidux]

FInaly a normal video with normal dancers, Thanks to Common for keeping Hip-Hop alive :]

[ballerinabreakdancer]

maryss and rino rock

[mpa05]

I would get a boner if there was a Lil Wayne remix to this where he ripped it like he ripped Hollywood Divorce

admit he could ride this beat if he wanted to, NO new school autotune shit, some carter 2 SHIAAAT, why did i say this, IDC

[JESSPENC]

Damn, can't get enough of this song.

Sick.

I just wish Rino and Maryss had more screen time. BFF.

[mrN1xxsun]

i like graffiti art but not in public places.

[Leakyrex2]

What you hear is talent, hands down

[pjtheman1]

this is one of common's worst songs by far

[HARRYMARIA]

@pjtheman1, Stop hating on GOOD music. The whole album was experimental like Kanye's 808s.

[robreht]

@HARRYMARIA

word! just like everybody was hating back when electric circus released.. it's a shame, cuz that's a damn fine album aswell! but with UMC 8 outta 12 tracks are neptunes-productions, no kanye except for 1, just so you'd know..;)

[HARRYMARIA]

@robreht,

Yeah I know---Kanye was only on one track and he only produced one track but that was the bonus track which was live. I don't think Electric Circuis and Universal Mind Control are his best albums but both albums are still good---I would never call them trash.

[Zulluhead]

@robreht Kanye is overrated as an artist and especially as a producer, Neptunes are much much better.

[hl325]

commanz a G 4 dis track, yall shuld also check out clipses im good, datz som hot shit

[trichar5]

correction-

freestyle paid off

so Lincoln paid me

now we can push more whips then slavery

(dont you remember him from the commercial?)

[TheMRgood101]

hot beat

[lisboa99990]

Common is the mann loving this guy atm !

[smellysmellydiaper]

sick song didnt kno there was a video out for it

[alwarfilms]

Total rip-off. Biggie's ''Unbelieveable''>Announcement­.

[Sydii1]

they sampled it......there's a diff.

[nemesis700]

its not a sample....its payin homage

[ciarandog]

it was more like a trubute 2 biggy

common is 100% original and true which is why hes a success

also the same 2 say 4 big he rapped like a thug because he was one

also who doesnt love the line 'when puff was wid biggy versaice on every niggy'

[shawt100]

all i can say is SICK.

[x626xredrumx]

Anybody know what brand of sunglasses Pharrell is wearing? I've seen them in blue, red, etc but not just straight all black. I think they're ray-bans?

[stanis3k]

finna, not gonna

[4e8m15i16l23y42]

at 3:20 Maryss is sick!!!!!

[dudesrkool]

song's sick, maryss & rino dancing in the background made this music video even awesomer!

[atlanta1033]

i <3 maryss and rino...yayyyyyyy

[scoot3434]

The song is sick. Video is ill thanks to Maryss and Rino from Beat Freaks. Yeah Geminiz!!!!!! Beat Freaks all the way!!!!!!!!

[jlipin3]

Not a bad song, but - as far as a single, w/a video? It's kinda strange coming f/Common. Most of his stuff is just, more..."soulful" and musical

[Nerte85]

Beat is alternate version of "Dreams"

Lyrics from "Unbelievable"

Reference to "What's Beef"

Reference to "Me & My Bitch"

Lyrics from "Can't You See"

Mentioning Biggie and Puff

...and maybe even more.

Biggie - definitely most quoted musician. Ever.

[xXxbozkurt19O5xXx]

i love pharrell's style :D

[psx2514]

How many Biggie rhymes does he have to use in this song?

[blaqdiemenz]

entirely too much; nah common said he wanted to do this track to show luv to B.I.G

[pSmurf954]

The sample is from Big's Unbelieveable

[manguap]

damn hes showing luv to biggie, is that obvious?

[tevinmusiq]

I can't believe that this was my first time seeing this video.

[pinkycheeks]

maryss & rino! yeeeeesss!<3

[kokulama]

anyone knows what type headphones were used at the first bit

[theGeneral000]

those are called Beats by Dre....Dr. Dre came out with those

[xiahoudun33]

Wow! Rino and Maryss in this video! Respect!

[opus91]

Common's the king

[ayebatonyeseigha]

pharrell killed it with that beat and love his rap in this song and the girls are good 2

[ejxmusic]

this is hip hop, indeed.

[cavaleer]

Another Pharrell banger. haha

[babycake5000]

i luv common. i think that he's an amazing artist with a lot of talent

[yeaboymanidude]

yeah. hes like the only artist that didnt fall off too hard other than lupe kanye nas

[huerolokotebds]

pharell is doing it know that beat is killing that shit is clean and common ripped his parts also did pharell about time to come with some good shit

[Jallenpoe]

this nigga did like a whole tribute album in a way jus to try it out and the shit was good..all of g.o.o.d music crew was tryin somethng new and look how good it got them..shit tight

[mpa05]

why is he whippin' a 20,000$ lincoln

[SURtifiediLL]

ahh it's alright. common is still one of the best.

[stevepietrangelo]

lyrics are crazy off.

[775hiteenaa]

Common one of  my Favorite Mcs and my favorite Man of all All Kinds of Music and Producers Pharrell

[omdelemn]

this is bull' ... this ain't "common" no more.... he's too common now ...

[slyons2000]

pharell is biting biggies style, he should just stick producing.

[IvanGrosny86]

He's impersonating Biggie, because this track is a tribute to him. It samples 'Dreams' plus Common's also trying to impress Big's rapstyle.

[Dhommi]

i'm feelin those dancers! fresh!

[DaveyXL]

notice how mr. williams has some biggie tendencies in his verse... and how appropriate since he sampled a biggie track... it meshed together nicely...

[Quagmire97]

lol nice commericalizing for the beats by dre headphones. Love those! I just got em a week ago.

[cellestar85]

I'm not a Common fan but this song has been stuck in my head for weeks!!!! My fam is from the Chi so I got some love for what he's doin..

[ballerzblock7]

i aint into this type of this music, but commons songs are in every NBA 2k gam. so respect.

[gunkydood]

i'm somehow mesmerised by pharell's verse.

[mpa05]

same.

[eminalien]

i love this song yo

[hiphopjunkie06]

crazy song...i copped his album and its a classic

[argentino39]

lol, it says finna, not gonna, maybe you should change that

[SourPatchKid37]

fuck that

[deathsshadow1975]

Your lyrics are off missing some rhymes in them and you should change that niggers to niggas.
