[thewetflarp]

I heard a black man's no is a "awww HAELL nahh"

[jpjohns2]

I enjoy good REALISTIC music I can relate to...these new "rappers" need to take notes

[jamhal73]

This song is a food for thought. Black people, rise to the occasion and stop tearing yourselves apart

[Juelz1085]

one of the best hip hop songs ever !!!

[youngvito262]

second verse is the shit

[BlaqMarketProduction]

3:20 - 3:55 = my life in a nutshell

[IstintoAnimale]

The first time I listened it, I thought... Is this a dream? A perfect melody.

Sorry for the BAD English,I'm Italian. MUSIC HAS NO NATIONALITY;) No?

Sempre fantastico,Common.

[somecompanymedia]

[archangelbrian]

deepest shit ever

[AlphaSun31]

He had game since he use to hoop at chatham neither the ghetto no defenders could trap him. The only complaint I have about this song is he should have spit 3 versus.

[2XTEMUSIC]

Lest make a Yes of Dat Maybe even without Obama I say Yes We Can

[BOSG720]

BOS

[SlawtaProducer]

Kanye made a classic, I can't understand how the some underground fans can shun the dude

[FRESHCOOLAIDE]

[marilouna64]

[BrotherOftheStruggl1]

Common is cold.

[Jaycool10]

Benji was my first football coach in the Chi. RIP Coach

[KillaCityMO]

This beat is amazing.. Proof that Kanye is one of the best producers of the past 10 years.

[bumpyjason]

EPIC!

[petisthefetus]

what are the very first lyrics at the start of this song?

[tarrence32]

@petisthefetus "i heard a white man's yes is a black maybe...i was delivered in this world as a crack baby"

[Jbear949]

Common's deepest song yet

[Kocean7]

Just amazing.

[minazahazazugemo]

I keep reading about that mp4ify site. where can i find it? converts audio and video from any youtube clip to mp3 or mp4 files?

[irobikolovic]

I didnt think it would work but it did! you can rip youtube vids as mp3s for free on that site mp4ify just google mp4ify

[LessNormalTV]

what software did you use to make this video?

[MoManny]

He's talking about Benji Wilson. First player in Chicago history to ever be named top high school player in the nation. He was killed days after receiving a full scholarship to the University of Illinois. Derrick Rose went to Simeon like Wilson and wore his number (25) just like NBA standout Nick Anderson who was Wilson's teammate.

[loopwholetube]

word up this shit is ill as fuck..yo if yall want some more real hip hop out the chi hit up the page.

much respect to the heads.

[MrTexasboy4eva]

this is my shit

[keefy6]

5 mic album.

[orlandus81]

Would somebody post Common "Universal Mind Control" as performed on Jay Leno Show late last year, September, October, or November. Please

[getmoneystayreal]

sing it common!

[ProfessorJohnson1483]

Finding Forever is a hip hop classic. And "Black maybe" the best on this album.

[smashman96]

No Doubt Man

[smashman96]

No Jimmydoe it sounds like he is talking about Ben Wilson...a basketball player from Chicago who was killed outside of Simeon High School in 1984

[jimmydoe]

Smash thanks for rescuing me from my temporary ignorance. Number 25 totally slipped my mind.

[JrHansum]

Yo i didnt know about Ben Wilson til u mentioned him. I recently did sum research on what happened and its a damn shame. A real tragedy. =',-(

[Keepyourheart3stacks]

@smashman96 He tells Ben's specific story that really speaks to all those talented young brothas who must balance their talent (in whatever that may be) with the pull of the streets and the fight against stereotypes and vicious cycles that don't seem to change.

[MillzThaLyricGod]

common is one of my favorite mc to listen to his shits dope and underated but its all classic im glad he didnt really change hes still dope 10/10

[jimmydoe]

Is he could be talking about Derrick Rose at 2:00?

[Streetsking23]

LeBron james

[croweziec]

classic album

be and finding forever was great albums.

[Ra1gar]

common, one of the greatests artist ever

[robotmanial]

Agreed

[826179]

My favourite song on Finding Forever. Common is underrated!

[10off]

i heard that common made a song with the jonas brothers....dont beleive it tho

[bala201]

This and I used to love H.E.R. have to be my fav common songs big ups

[moorheaddragons]

oh come on you got to like Real People. lol but hell yeah man double true that sit!!!

[huggiehuggie1]

Common is the best rapper alive

[06alwilliams]

Word!!!!

[Kongohh]

How the f's that possible if mos def still alive?

[SpeekEZ23]

I say Lupe but i absolutely fucks with Comm n Mos. Shit what about Talib? Hes an animal too!!

[ELMO52MONSTA]

@huggiehuggie1 Emcee , no rapper!

[djslimm74]

@huggiehuggie1 I love Common but i would have to disagree...Black Thought would have something to say about that. I have everything Common ever made except that less mess he did with Pharrell..he disappointed me with that.

[ErrorProne]

@huggiehuggie1

He's good, yeah, but Gripp is better in my opinion.

[brandonkeiththomas]

this is a really sick beat...

[Riddlermaster]

I love this song

[lyricist614]

Common Is The Reason Hip Hop Is True...Just Like Kweli And Them.

[j2tharome15]

One of my favorite Kanye-produced songs.

[MrWonka77]

You know chronic runs the music industry. I love you!

[Vangardthedrifter]

real hip hop ah refreshing

[2NDTariq]

This song need a Grammy.....Common I understand what u saying Black people where cursed by Willie Lynch thats the reason for all our confusion and backward attitudes today. BLACK...well maybe

[rompeola5]

I really love this song. I got it in my cellphone my computer.

[ILOVECATFISH2MUCH]

This is most definitely classic. This reminds me of a (I Used To Love Her) or a (It's Your World pt. 2)- from the BE album. Take it from an official 80's baby................Black Maybe is a classic.

[bronxmonster123]

Rass Kass bible was hot but it has nothing on this common dug deep and poured his soul out on this shit

[tajka06]

yo, the story he told about the envy that we have towards each other when we share tears and beers but chose different careers is really relevent when you talk about our crab in a barrel syndrone : one love

[ladyniceness]

wikkid track, one of my altime favourites by Common. CoarseMOB8439 if you feelin Rass Kass Nature of the threat, check out Imortal Technique 'Open Your Eyes' Peace

[tajka06]

im from chicago and we grow up hard,our city is still segregated,common lets me know how deep and serious life is,we must fight for freedom, its better to die on your feet than live on your knees, come on people the time is now

[AmunRaAnkn826]

the song is what really goes in the GO I feel every word cuz I see it everyday of my life big shoutout to G.O.O.D music deep song

[expertgmr26]

This is prolly top 2 Common song in my book. Sick, deep lyrics, classic beat with Kanye sampling classic Stevie Wonder shit, even a lil semi-spoken word at the end. Perfect example of why Common is one of my favorite artists.

[yaboytreyy]

a white mans yes is a black maybe.

yes we can obama

do that mean maybe

may be

but definatley under God so id say Be

n even if the odds say equal imma play me

so the end of the game i still score more

for my TEAM

then we 1 peice

[augiedoggie25]

This is a CD that you can listen to all day...the deepest and hottest song on this CD.

[z1wq23e4]

you right its mad rare today to find cds you can listen to w/o skipping tracks but this is 1

[CoarseMOB8439]

This shit is so real. Spittin' real shit like Ras Kass' tracks "Nature Of The Threat" and "B.I.B.L.E." Put those on YT search. Nature Of The Threat has two. That's true shit there.

[RainyDaiyze]

Nature of the Threat is long as hell. Good song however tho.

Rass Kass made B.I.B.L.E? i could have swore that was on gza's album liquid swords.

[lovekeke4sure123]

The Chorus Is Jamia Nash

[niecey89]

I think it might be Syreeta. Look up her version of black maybe and listen to 1:09, not 100% positive though

[withavengence]

it is....look it up on here.

[SolidSnake240]

Common is the truth, one of the reasons why i still listen to hip hop.

[UWFStudios]

This song is deeper than the ocean...

[zarenj21]

this song is depper than space

[tghetto5]

this song is deeper than Lil Kims Vagina

[angelo1405]

nice.

[scaroni39]

@tghetto5 ahahahahahhahahaha

[scaroni39]

@tghetto5 ahahahahahhahahaha

[SantoSGTV]

@tghetto5 hahaha good one

[jamhal73]

@tghetto5

You horny goon. Whats that got to do with lil kims vigina? Anyway, u probably might be right. Ever seen her puss?

[flyasasatellite]

ofcourse this dude is sick!

and he fucking is saving hiphop.. tbh he already has.. other rappers just fucking it up..

[flyasasatellite]

such a shame people waste

time listening to lame rappers line's.

[fresh92010]

r u fuckin' serious? common is one of the only reason not every black person you know wears their pants under thier ass.....

THIS GUY IS SAVING WHAT'S LEFT OF HIP HOP MUSIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[flyasasatellite]

sorry i meant to say this guy is sickk..

lame rappers such as lil wayne, 50cent etcc.

feel like an idiot now :(

[fresh92010]

Oh..... I was about to say...... u should word that sentence better next time......

[exidost]

One of the best songs I've ever heard for sure. I respect common for what he does.

[roalvarez1]

check out gary bartz...peace

[1studentoftruth]

"doing dope and doing time, no one know what's just inside"

How true, common

A black man goes through so much, and then if he falls or veers of track, he is not only judged by others outside his race, even his own. Middle Class black people especially seem to share this view, their quick to look at blacks like live in the "ghetto" like their peices of trash, brain washed by the hyprocritcal system, in the words of immortal technique, "open your eyes before you die"

[areacodeboy7]

great fan video, nicely done.

[crucnk]

that was some deep lyrics man...common brought it with that rap.

[kiwigirlkb]

♥ !m luv!n d!s ♥

[cps304]

i LUV dis song its so wicked common repping us peeps and i love da gurl dat sings!!!!!! she sounds sooooooo good!!!!!

[funkluver888]

u, black maybe is the name. badass song, really gets u to think...

[Lucaz99]

whats the name of this song???

[ilubB5]

thats jamia nash singing on the chorus

[SheiRaga]

I like how you put this video together...this could've been the actual video, too...I love this song. Also good songs especially break my heart, misunderstood, southside, and of course so far to go, I love how Dilla freaked that Isley's song! Innovation at it's finest, indeed...peace

[Roblacky]

WOW! this song is so powerful

I heard a white man's yes

Is a black maybe

this is what we go through every day

its a struggle

[haider22122]

nice video!

[skitzthegemini]

Did anybody else feel like this was a failed attempt on Kanye's part to duplicate Dilla's style? Then you got "So Far 2 Go" right next to it in the track listing so you can tell how much better Dilla really is.

Love the song, but I just got that vibe from it.

[liquidswords1988]

nah this particular track sounds like Kanye...the vocal sample sped up w/the bongos...but there are other tracks on FF that I do feel like Kanye is impersonating Dilla

[Timo710]

Thats true, because that was the whole approach of the album, they wanted it to be a sort of a tribute for dilla, and for instance, The People uses a same sample Dilla used on a track called People.

[sigaar90]

great song

Greetz From NL Netherlands.. (5*)

[UnionBishop]

this join summarize's the whole situation of racism towards black people... classic

[carlydaboss07]

The was one of the best if not THE best albums of 2007! I love this song!

[AnthoKnowledgee]

More people need to hear this track

[weedman6926]

this is is the best song he ever made, reminds me of mike vick

[liquidswords1988]

cuz he killin dawgz?

[weedman6926]

not because he was killing dawgs dumb ass. the song talks about kids that grow up in the hood that make it, Like Mike Vick. Listen to the lyrics from 2:01 till the end and you see what I'm talking about.

[MalachiBakas]

Common's first 3 lines got me!!!!!!

this is real music!!!!

[JoelJoel1991]

5*

I finaly got the Finding Forever album. This is my favorite song from the album together with The People, by far the two best songs in my opinion.
