Common was so nice on this song. And Malik Yusef put the spoken word so well. Conniseur of Karma Sutra. Now an artist of the spoken word ,now I just hustle flow/ not a pretty boy always a beautiful mind like Russell Crowe.
Malik Yusuf is NOT DEAD! He was at my school today. He said he has an album with Kanye West coming out. He also made an Obama music vid that will come out in 3 weeks from now!
Damn Chicago is soooo beautiful. stuff like this makes me proud to be from here...i jus wanna take da time out 2 thank all the artists who stay reppin' us and keepin us on da map...cHi-cItY aLl dAy!!!
It's always like that...if it uplifts the spirit, it gets no play, but if its about coonin? 3x platinum...! Feel good music=liberation. Remember, they want us to stay slaves...Lauren Hill said it best; "I add a m*thafcka so you ig'nant n*ggas hear me...nuff said

Who can really deny the fact that Chicago is the greatest city in Americans history. I mena this city is os rennaisance , so soulful and so progressive.Who cares if New York and if the South has it on locked when you can bathed in the refreshness of the current movement of Chicago Hip Hop and poetry.We gutter up here too.lol.
Man! Kanye is that fire! On beats and rhymes. One of the greatest hip hop talents in the history of rap no doubt. You may not like 'em but you can not mention this latest era of Hip Hop without mentioning Kanye West. Real Talk.
doooope sooong and that beat is ooold i heard it when around his 1st album release dooooope hip hop beat fo shooo they gotta make mo these uplifting beats for when ya dealin haard n need a breather
Nice joint, seen this on on Demand MTV2 videos. The guy talking to Common about he likes peace, tranquilit and waterfalls is funny as hell--nice touch. Good joint overall. Kan
