Common's Feud with Westside Connection:

The song "I Used to Love H.E.R." from Resurrection ignited a feud with West Coast rap group Westside Connection. The lyrics of the song criticized the path hip-hop music was taking and was interpreted by some as directing blame towards the popularity of West Coast Gangsta rap. Westside Connection first responded with the 1995 song Westside Slaughterhouse, with the lyrics "Used to love H.E.R. mad cause I fucked her". Westside Connection recorded tracks venting their issues with rival East Coast rappers (see East Coast-West Coast hip hop rivalry). Westside Slaughterhouse also mentioned Common by name, prompting the rapper to respond with the scathing Pete Rock-produced attack song "The Bitch in Yoo". Common and Westside Connection continued to insult each other back and forth before finally meeting with Louis Farrakhan and setting aside their dispute. Following the popularity of Resurrection, Common Sense was sued by a Orange County-based reggae band with the same name, and was forced to shorten his moniker to simply Common.

  • Instrumental, Text, Common the Legend of Hip Hop.

  • It just made sense.

  • One of Common's hardest songs he should have spit two verses

  • Common new joint will have his ol feel to it he's working with No I.D. & Doug Infinite CAN'T WAIT for it DROP

  • @googleman Common went from working w/Chi natives like Doug Infinite and NoI.D. to later collabing with the Soul Quarians(D'Angelo.Qtip.?uestlo­ve.Dilla), to linking w/Kanye, whos another chi head. Except Kanye was brought out by Jay-Z and loved the mainstream attn he was getting. Common was so soulful when it came to his production that he didnt see kanye jocking Dilla's style on BE. Kanye jocked LUDA's style on his first LP too cause LUDA was hot at the time.. sad sad story~

  • @Znuphs how did he fall hard when he started to work with kanye?

  • this and Electric Circus were my joints, he fell hard when he worked with Kanye, the conceited mediocre~

  • this is classic, same flow :D

  • damn that funky guitar

  • 2 people sold their souls for garbage rap (2005-now)
