Common "Invocation"

[Hamburger247]

Damn THIS IS CRAZY IS THAT I'M THE ONLY ONE TO COMMENT SINCE A YEAR AGO FROM THE LAST COMMENT!!! THIS IS TOO DAMN DOPE!!!

[Liofle]

why does this have such a chaotic rhythm lol

[marko031rzn]

to je ta stvar..:)

[dug699]

lil wayne doesnt have shit on this

[Gocavs1990]

I don't understand how a man like common could ever make an album like universal mind control. I hope it was a one time thing and he goes back to making real hiphop

[jazz1bro]

Dig the guitar!

[falodun]

Envisioning the hereafter listening to stevie wonder.... i strike like Obama and dont need thunder.

[hiphop90sbaby]

Nigga dont be tryna switch stuff up It was cool how my nigga Common said it....

[nemesis700]

inhale imagination and breathe wonder

[KackAufDieGoldKette]

Thank you man

[KackAufDieGoldKette]

who's the Producer of this Beat?

[AtotheMountford]

@KackAufDieGoldKette No I.D. He produced a good bit of Common's earlier stuff. He's also heading up Com's new album.

[trenchcock]

plz plz bring this bak fuk hip hop these dayz and im only 20

[djnvbeats]

Classic material! ...shouts to No I.D.

[catrina10]

i wish this song never ends :)

[derossi16KoD]

yap !

too bad it's only 2:14

[Dwattscirca1991]

if u like dis peep ma channel i gotchu wit real music

[MoonwalkerCriminal]

ahhhh, I feel so refreshed after the Bullshit I "just" heard on the radio 5 minutes ago

[RadReese73]

CHI-Town take your music back... NY take your music back... Detroit take your music back... DEMAND to take hip-hop back to its glory days... I dont care where we are economically as a nation, there is no way in HELL you can tell ME you can listen to a Gucci Mane or a Weezy song and compare it to this here SHIT!!!!... The lyrics, the beat, hell even the video is leagues ahead the crap the radio has brain-washed you to believe is HOT! My 6 year old could hear & see that!!! STOP this nonsense...

[JimmyinConcord]

sucks the beginning is cut off

[EdiBlazE]

asked when my album was coming...i said its here its here its here its here its here ((((( fade)))))

best ending ever!!

[RealisticChique]

Lol

[SlashPwnage]

This song has some of the best lyricism as far as rappers go. Common has his own style, and no one can sound like him without bitin HIS style. He's the shit.

[crayZneZZ]

I love this beat so much! I wish there was an Instru of it posted up T.T

[RealisticChique]

Love this beat too :)

[crayZneZZ]

aha I miss common's stuff like this T.T now he got gay and makin wack shit for the people. I understand when you need money and all but you know , you should at least stay true to yourself.

[AtotheMountford]

@crayZneZZ Even though he got a little off track with UMC (or a lot off track) his next album is being produced by No I.D. So, hope remains. He's also working on a project with Q-Tip who should set him straight again.

[activist45]

at the time when common was dope! ...and didnt have fake ass beats from kanye west...

[CoesTree]

Kanye?"Be" is a classic, the Neptunes are the ones who ruined him.

[sluggo832003]

Be is not a classic. It is a album to put people asleep.

Other than LWFC, and ODIAMS, Common is boring.

[ill23will4]

ok, you may not like Be, even though that is still a pretty good album , but Resurrection and Can I Borrow A Dollar should not bore you

[VEERnineone]

actually the beats from kanye on BE were dope...

[rapidkid11]

"on a Quest for Love like the perceived drummer"

it took me ages to realise the reference to ?uestlove

sick tune - classic common sense

[MissConception1717]

...."like the Proceed drummer"

btw, that's my favorite line by Common :)

[silenttakuza]

it's a cool line....but it really took u ages?

[southaplus]

i feel mexican,hip hop is my garden.23

[jarbon5]

"I strike like lightning and don't need thunder/ inhale imagination and breathe wonder!"

[CoNTuffgong76]

Is that Karriem Riggins on the drums?

[jayt]

there already is a video for this song

[capachino712]

scratches are so tight

[usernameunabl]

common sense s hip hop. Look at the views this video has recieved. only the 15 thousand mark. Lil wayne videos on youtube get over a mllion hits. How is ths possble. Hip Hop should educate and inform us thats what krs one and jam master spoke about. Common does this hip hop is not fair its tottally wrong fuck weezy common s defo in the top 5 emcess of all time

[LukeValentino]

Preach!

[capachino712]

"not for the money ... i coulda sampled diana ross a long time ago"

[samuol008]

love da beat

[drumatic]

Peace to DUG INF. + NO ID! Common should thank them and the Beatnuts for boostin' his career to the new heights. What a team that 'ol Chicago sound had goin' on...

[irockmoonman]

he always does yo

[Richie2k6]

This beat is amazing. The type of track you kick on your mp3 player while you're chillin' on a New York subway train. Gives me that cold winter in New York feeling when I hear it.

[stilldreamin514]

"at times my goin forward seems like retreat cuz i be writin rhyme after rhyme and throw away beats"

[leous666]

wow first time hearing this song . very good song might even be better than i used to love her.

[MFSilverOxide]

Nasty stuff-but Common gets just as nasty on other songs on the originating album.

About as Real Hip-hop as Soulja Boy.

[IMILLMATIC]

soulja boy aint real hip hop

[discorecords]

kids are losing the REAL feel of hip hop now. the next generation is gonna be the ruins of "hip hop"...just like current R&B ain't nothing like it used to be in Motown days.

[zeusforlife2002]

The Invocation...this is how an emcee should start their LP: lyrical barrages, uncanny metaphors, quotes young brothers can live by....I'm not the type to gas no man up, but I haven't heard a rapper/poet more official than Common sense. G.O.O.D. Music...Forever!!!

[kidfromcali22]

my favorite song EVER and one of my favorite cds ever.

[PlanetHarlem]

I've been Listening to Hip-Hop my whole life.

Trust me..."One Day It'll all make sence" is the best Hip-Hop Cd ever created. Jazz, Poetry, Real talk , Funny Stories, Hard Core, Party Bangers ...all that..and this track. Definitly 5 mics...10 stars or whatever these wack magazines are giving out these days.

[framil54]

your right this cd is really dope...check out the main video on my page..up and coming hip hop/jazz group called ArtOfficial..your welcome

[StoicTwo]

This that shit right here, this used to be on my myspace page man that shit used to make me feel live than a mothafucka,lmao!

-StoicOne!

[volvos1998]

one of his best songs he ever put out!!!!!!!!!!!

[dug699]

@volvos1998 one of the best songs in hiphop

[FrostedLane]

beat pwns

[JordanRh1]

best beat/flow ive heard in along long time

[prstar85]

This song reminds me of my father....he loves it also. This is a joint that you can tell common made purely for himself and hip hop. No outside intentions so its not tainted which is the essence of original hip hop....

[xxdesmus]

tight song.

[hiphopisntdead]

Envisioning the hereafter, listenin to Steve Wonder

On a Quest for Love like the Proceed drummer

I strike like lightning and don't need thunder

Inhale imagination and breathe wonder

the first part of the song is hot...Common is on of my favorite emcees...his metaphors are so underrated

[chillhood]

[ssaturn]

[andreandeahhh]

[diddisdiddat]

Short, sweet and classic.

[catrina10]

[alsetalokin]
