  • Common = Legend

  • lol, from my personal opinion, common back in the day reminds me of drake today, not in the comparison of music, but when i first heard common he was alot softer then most emcees back in the day, to name a few wutang, nas, jigga, big, pun, big l & pac, his beats were alot softer and when i first put a face to voice i couldnt believe common looked the way he did, alot softer then the impression his voice is giving.

  • "Uglier than Craig Mack, in "Ya Ear" I'm the "Flava" hahaha!

  • #RealHipHop! Food for thought! One love from the UK!

    Me and my friends formed a Hip Hop group last year and we've got a brand new music video on our channel, check us out guys!

  • Thank God I'm from Chicago because that's where Common is from.

  • i miss hip hop like this and i dont a fuck no more bout whats the subject is about just some cool beat with rappers that can spit right

  • This is music you blast in the hills, blazing a joint with your favorite lady, don't hear much of that anymore..

  • @MissedExistance

    Nope, it's not. It's mainly because back then artists put their whole heart into music - whilst right now suckers do what the investors say ... it's sad because we won't see music like that anymore

  • @SoberSoda They still had record company management back then, rap was just real as hell so it didn't need to be as marketed so carefully

  • this is in my top 3 fav songs of all time

  • Who gives a flying fuck about other peoples beef, just enjoy hip hop in it's rawest and natural form.

  • i have a res-erection

  • where da fvk does the pussy from degrassi get off dissin a legend like common drake derserves to get slapped

  • DRAKE AIN'T EVEN IN THE CHARTED WATERS AS COMMON...

  • man its just common sense its good music

  • LOL at Drake trying to come at Common. Really a legen to Hip-Hop. Why would he? I mean.. Why.... Never mind. I'd pick Common over Drake thick eyebrow ass any day.

  • Thumbs Up if you've been a fan of Common since.....You discovered Hip Hop or Real HIP HOP and before Drake came along

  • I miss this laid back guy . Common isn't the same anymore , he does ads for GAP , stars in shitty hollywood movies etc probably to make money. I know he has a family to provide for these days, It's just a shame that he seemed to have it more figured out as a young dude.

    I don't think the guy in this video would have ever started a beef with someone like drake

  • common doesn't need some fucking gimic or stupid catchy hooks,

    common is r.e.a.l.

  • legend

  • i wish this version was on the album.

  • Why cant rap be like this anymore?

  • "Steppin to me is like steppin into the county being a neutron"

    "Words of wisdom from my windpipe,

  • I don't even know y people are saying Common is soft. lol Niggas these daze.

  • classiccccccc

  • i met him back in 1994 awesome person he gave me his autograph

  • And Drake wants to dry diss this man? Is it me or are these "Frank Sinatra" rappers getting a bit over excited.

    P.S, if you don't understand what I ment by "Frank Sinatra" rappers listen to Common - Sweet.

  • @ibraahimization He said "You ain't mothafucking Frank Sinatra" , so do you understand it?

  • Comment removed

  • @ibraahimization HA HA HA i know right man its funny none of these niggas get Common lol is mostly these young ass cats that support drake...hes a bitch real talk ..Common is a lyrical god..he scares me lol listen to his fuckin verbals

  • when i think of a rapper i think common. not wiz khalifa.

  • Warning to those who go against israel . you will be destroyed. Just who is israel you may ask. I am israel and i was born in the united states as were my parents and their parents and their parents and their parents. I am who i am. Our culture (jazz/hip hop/funk), the musical expression of true freedom, will never be destroyed. It will thrive and rise from the ashes once again. Woe unto those who attempt to co-opt us. Your days are numbered.

  • @MADGUNZ76 Kendrick lemar Ye are coming with complex ideas and many more rappers bro many

  • There is an agenda in america to dumb down as many as possible. this is why the music has been co opted by the big corporations. Hip hop used to be comprised of all types of ideas and perpectives. Each region of the country had its own feeling, rhyme styles, beat styles. and each artist from each region or city put their own spin on it. Now days its all trap music beats 808, drugs, death , money and bitches. Not saying that has not always been in the music, but the other ideas are not there.

  • I LOVE COMMONS MUSIC REAL HIP HOP FOR DA SOUL BUT I ALSO LOVE IT CUZ ITS NOT JUST REAL HIP HOP ITS REAL CHICAGO HIP HOP SOUTHSIDE NIGGAS! THIS VIDEO MAKES ME PROUD OF WHO I AM AND WHERE IM FROM SOUTH SIDE STAND UP! LET EM KNOW!

  • corprate america saw success in fellows like this, dre, jayz, busta ryhmes and nas to mention a few. The influnce that was made on music as hip-hop grew in the white community caused many rappers to had to change if they wanted the cream, the ones like immortal and lupe fiasco stuck to their roots but many like 50, big sean, drake lil wayne you know thoes losers straight destroyed music because it was either kick ass or kiss it. eminem is still true to his roots and didnt have to make fake music

  • from 2:30 onwards i was done...

  • why can't we expose our kids to this stuff and not taylor gang mac miller bullshit only rappin about smokin crazy amounts of douja and blatantly talkin about sex i don't think thats "dope" one bit.

  • @hufer95 yes brother check my music how i would like to know what think fuck that taylor gang I know what you mean man

  • @hufer95 I like Mac Miller. I'm a 16, middle-classed white kid from the suburbs of England who has both parents in his life, and comes from a good steady background. Mac raps about shit relevant to me, weed an girls. I like listening to this old meaningful stuff like this, but I can't identify with everything, unless I wanna act fake. Feel me?

  • @rythemandthebeat it aint about relating ..its about feeling. Does it make you bob your head? move ya feet? See shit? thats what its about homie.

  • yo common was lyrically ahead of his time. kinda like nas and some others

  • 66 people are fucking sweet

  • This is when Common was a dope MC now dude is just weak

  • @TheFatMack Go watch Common - Sweet and I think you'll be impressed.

  • @TheUmbraLucis LOLOL i heard it and its weak dude fell off years ago Common LAST GOOD ALBUM was One Day It Will All Make Sense the rest after that has been ok at best or TRASH and sweet is weak also

  • @TheFatMack weak but mo cash than you? LOL whos losing?

  • @beeva275 LOLOLOL thats your comeback why are you worried about how much cash this mn got quit riding that man like that and then you dont know how much cash runs in my family i could be the son of a man with billions or my wife could be the daughter of a father with billions you will nver know tho right

  • @TheFatMack lol hey just be honest...hes got more cash aye? LOL TELL THE TRUTH!

  • @lucyilford i am being HONEST i could be the SON of a man with BILLIONS OR my wife could be the daughter of a father with BILLIONS you will never know. and the funny thing is IF i told you my father had billions you would say i`m lying so why waste my time with it once again COMMON is no longer a dope rapper no matter how much more money my family has more than him

  • love the vibe of this song own the album....best common has ever made imo its 54:23 of chill jazz and eccentric wordplay should have put this version on the LP too again imo

  • Back in the dayys = they got flow . good beats. and Now 2011 ( new school ) = eeh techno beats.. rap? naah .. singin .. they don,t got flow at all. but something is good. but better at the 90,s

  • My new favorite track love it :) 90's were awesome :)

  • Love this beat!

  • I really wish hip hop was still like this! Now todays we have pussy ass niggas rappin about they cars, money, hoes, or jewelry.

  • real cool shiat

  • technic love

  • I love my city to death real chitown shit rite here

  • To everyone reading this I made a song called "Connecticut" only using words that starts with C's and T's check it out

  • I'm white, I truly believe I was given a black mans soul, for the gift of gab that I have, and you know what else? I wouldn't change a thing, it's made me the most dynamic and versatile individual I know.

  • most of are golden artist end up disappointing the masses because of poor decision making.point blank. the money is behind the agenda. Rappers are looked down upon in the music bizz because it not necessarily a white genre. So the twist is you gotta push der agenda or else.Tupac wasnt down with dat shit.

  • classic

  • this beat is smooth n jazzy. wit the piano n the chelo

  • Music for the soul...

  • ProtaJ, he's right.

  • black people are so kewl <3

  • @jackle5000 how stupid is that, since when your skin color determine your personality

  • @jackle5000 lol we are aren't we

  • why did common lost his sense nowadays??? R.I.P Legend

  • @TheRolliator Da hell are you talking about???? sit down somewhere..

  • @ProtaJ u know there was a time when he made lyrical masterpieces like ressurection, take it easy or soul by the pound... but now in my opinion its more about some g-rap-who-is-the-hardest-shit.­.. i used to love him but nowadays i cant find his old genius! i would be so proud if you could show me the opposite!

  • @TheRolliator "Use to love him"???? Maaaan, how old are you 9 yrs old?? Shut up and stop responding to me. I'll be damned if go back and forth with yo' Bob Ross lookin' ass. lol Sit down somewhere!

  • @ProtaJ come down.

  • @TheRolliator Sit down

  • @TheRolliator are you fuckin kidding....?

  • oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hhhhhhhhhhhh fuueeggs

  • Lie and say you aint knodding your head to this....

  • @Oddity4040 Damn true! All day long baby, all day long! Aight!

  • @Oddity4040 hahahaha BUSTED!

  • @Oddity4040 lol i aint knodding my head, im banging it wild! CLASSIC!!

  • @spartastar Every time I hear this I'm doing it to :)

  • @Oddity4040 the first time i was but then i wanted to proove you wrong so i watched it again and tried not to nod my head, but about 6 seconds in i caught my self bumpin...

  • @Tmoe101022 LMBO! Dont even try to control it! Its involuntary movement of the neck! Ha!

  • @Oddity4040 serious, its natural roids for your neck piece, you listen to this a few time to get neck brolic!

  • @Oddity4040

    Lie and say you know how to spell nodding.

  • @HellsingMaggot Lie and say you have a life...Thanks for taking the time out of your busy schedule to provide the pointless spelling lesson human autocorrect (no, really) Knod, Nod is however I feel like spellin it. Define SLANG for me Einstein baby Jr....I'll wait.

  • @Oddity4040 I'll have you know that said busy schedule isn't as busy as you portray it to be. Though I'll say you're welcome anyways. As for waiting for me to define the word slang, that won't be happening, but i will point you in the right direction > lmgtfy.com/?q=Definition+of+sl­ang (Hint: copy/paste the link in the address bar above.) Next time you have that irrational notion of being able to spell words however you desire and deeming it correct, just know you're wrong.

  • @HellsingMaggot You are missing the entire point....move on with life cornball....and study hip hop culture. Dueces.

  • @Oddity4040 LMAO and now I'm a cornball? To be honest, I'd rather not study such a shitty culture that heavily revolves around your people. No offense...oh wait, actually i take that back, it was meant to just that. How the hell do you do that? How do you attempt to define a word that you CAN'T FUCKING SPELL?? Are you that stupid? And for the record, you didn't have to define deuces because aside from the fact that you didn't spell it correct, it was completely irrelevant.

  • @HellsingMaggot Yeah, you are a cornball. The fact that you are still talking to me further proves my point. I have no interest in going back and forth with your lonely ass. If you knew anything about slang or hiphop culture you would know that it heavily involves informal use of the english languish. This is not a dissertation or essay...ITS YOUTUBE. If you are not interested in hiphop or "my people" why the HELL are you maturbating to hip hop videos?

  • @HellsingMaggot Google the word Dueces, Do your research before you come out of pocket to TRY to edit or correct a art form you have no understanding of LAMEBRAIN. English may be your 2nd language since you obviously dont know when a conversation has ended. You dont get the picture....Dueces means bye. Let me further break it down for you. YOU CAN STOP TALKING TO ME NOW #Thatisall

  • @Oddity4040 *Sidenote* Who gets kicks out of sitting around and checking youtube comments for typos? Get a hobby.

  • @Oddity4040 *sidenote* the same guy that enjoys trolling, you ugly bag of shit.

  • @HellsingMaggot Ya mama bitch.

  • @Oddity4040 there you go, thats the uneducated nigger side of you i wanted to bring out, thanks for that.

  • @HellsingMaggot No need to thank me sweet cheeks, The pleasure was all mine : )

  • @Oddity4040 Sure it was...

  • @Oddity4040 when a person gets angry or frustrated, you know you've got the better of them because its annoying them, well done haha

  • @jongsin I had a blast doing it : ) LMBO

  • @Oddity4040 How you going to tell me to google something if you're not even spelling it right. how stupid can you be? i even spelled it correct for you in my last comment. Next time you're about to post something stupid, try using google to make sure you spell it right. And if you're the one that said bye, why come back to reply? dumbass. leave already.

  • @HellsingMaggot Don't criticize others grammar if you can't use English correctly either...plus using racism and being annoyed just shows everyone you lost the argument haha what a cunt :P

  • @jongsin there was never an argument so theres no way i could have lost it. secondly, i was done a while back and because i dont feel the need to waste time on you, i'll simply type stfu and gtfo

  • @HellsingMaggot Dueces means 2 fingers...the hand gesture for the peace sign. SMH

  • @HellsingMaggot Stop trying to pretend your smart over the internet, we all know you're using spell check haha obviously your that guy everyone picked on at school, only someone that sad goes on about one fucking word...jesus christ get a life you sad fuck, this is coming from a complete stranger who couldn't care less about you, I've taken time out of my life to tell you how much of a total twat you are...think about that :)

  • @jongsin oh and one more thing, you might want to show her how to use spell check, it'll prevent that from happening to her again. just saying.

  • flooooooooooooooooooowwwwwwwww­wwwwwwwwwwwwww

  • what version is this of the song?

  • @thelilfck if it doesnt matter then why did you start talking about it

  • @thelilfck sick brag.

  • @thelilfck Thanks to MTV dumbing down our IQ kids like you and i guess me(im 20 so our times are the same times we arent that far apart its still the same) most people between mine and ur age dont know what good rap is because MTV forgot about real rap thats why there are so many musically oblivious fucktard kids who are kissin ass all over shitty artists like soulja boy and especially lil wayne and many of those other faggots who mumble around with no flow

  • @joelakastud123 true

  • @joelakastud123 this just was on MTV jams

  • @thelilfck then why do you mention youre age if it doesn´t matter.. idiot

  • @booooooooooooooooobi to prove a point retard.

  • all well moe black stone. those were the days no renegade shit.

  • this is classic. classic rap. not just classic common

  • Vintage Common.

    This is what hip hop has been missing for years. Common is the one artist who never changed his style for anybody. Always remained true. Today's rappers make me sick & lack the real knowledge to know what REAL hip hop is all about.

  • we need a nigga like dis to change da game from the low shit its at. Real talk nigga

  • tuu, tuu, tuu, tuu tuu "i got it made."

  • Year! HIP HOP Don't Stop

  • this is REAL RAP

  • gRaF gUrU: Haroon X, "tha Audio and Visual terrorist!".......

  • Is this version on a CD or something? It's different to (and better than) the one I have

  • I'm only 17 and Common is probably my favorite rapper.

    I hope he makes a Ressurection 11', hip hop needs it.

  • this was b4 the powers at b start dumbing down hip hop for the masses

  • 64 people have no common sense

  • respect for all of you who are down with my previous status!!
