hmm first umc now this one. looks like lots of commons shit gonna either be produced by skateboard p or he gonna be in it either way this just another example of why common is one of the most intelligent hip hop artists today
Sounds like a grittier side of Common side on this track, and I love it. The beat is serious 2. Pharrell is a problem.
DDDAAMNN COMIN TRYNA GETTIN HOOD ON A TRACK.. AND PHARELL IS COMIN BACK
shit nice track these 2 niggas never tryin to be G they jus keep it real, especially common im feelin the hook, i know yall are feelin that shit too lol
Now this is all that I ask for every once in a while.
Just a little hip hop...am I asking for too fuckin' much???
Feelin' this shit...
Thanx for always giving us something DIFFERENT COMMON!
~Be Eazy!
Raps is bullets.
Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow.
The feel to this track is ridiculous. Comm' is comin' with some old school steelo on this. Ill.
On the real though, this is a perfect example of the Halo Effect.
If this was any other rapper there would've been ridiculous hating. But it's all gravy. at least he's doing his thing.
Most Common's albums are handled by one producer, so hopefully it's gonna be him and The Neptunes. FIRE.
common always come wit it
common always come wit it
off topic: atleast you got someone that can spit fire and actaully makes good tunes as a g.o.a.t rather then these plies and soulja boy and mike jones and whoever dick riders. prop to you on that, shut these fucks up man.
on topic: fire song common killed it hands down not a big p fan but he did his thing also, overall track is hot dudes
i dont really listen to common cause its just not my kind of music but im feelin this joint right here
IM FEELING THIS MANNNNN, CHITOWN IN THE HIZZOUSE!!!!!!!!!
~BE FIFTY
im gonna be poor,1st theres gunit album to buy then game then nas then common,theres already been lil wayne n n.e.r.d new album,good music at the moment
He had biggies flow from unbelievable from 31-42 seconds
damn dis track was fire!!
good music kneegrows "when it comes to hip hop its jus me and my bitch" haaaaaaaaaaaaaaa he killed it
this nigga rite here always kills it
Common IS hip hop!!.. he is somehow getting lyrically SHARPER!! i love when common comes with the knowledge & power... however this, which i feel is HIS version of todays watered down "sex, money, drugs" rap.. is superior... all the way around. Common is hip hop elite..consistently innovative...and doing it for well over a decade now...his is a name that should be mentioned along with Outkast, Nas, Kanye, Jay-Z...and others when having a real talk discussion on hip hops finest....
Common is one of the few artist doing it for the love of the music, he did his thing
strait common is still doin it..wit skateboard p so yesir fire beats..
This beat is more Common-like.
just one question say the cd drops in the fall would common have to change the name of the cd?
i love pharrell , and we all know common sense is the truth.....ill shit
Chi-Town's LEGEND...can't wait for the new CD to come out
Hot track but I don't think I'll like it as much as Finding Forever..and I think the lack of Kanye might be the reason.
i reckon it will be great you will have one cd with the influence of kanye n one cd with the influence of pharrell,will see how it turns out.
Ha!! Common talkn greezy on a trak? Almost didnt even sound rite lol! But overall I thnk this trak is hot nice beat kinda corney chours but good verses make up 4 it tho. Buh this is 1 of theses types of trax that wont get as much radio play or respek it deserves cuz it dont please tha bitches nd kids.
Tight beat. Kinda lyrics dat get da gyal dems in the mood for rough play. Common and pharrell got it figured out. philosophising on biatches and shit!
for real tho alive... nah theres atleast 10 better ALIVE
dis iz cool rite here. cant wait 4da album
ya nyone know when the albums comin and whats it called?? before the track started i knew it was gonna be genius as was UMC.
Commons 1 of my favorite rappers in hip hop. some rappers talk about some dance or killin otha ppl jus 4 the heck of it, but common speaks his mind finding forever is an album i still consider as a classic from common dis song is ill shout outs 2 common makin his money & not robbin niggas 4 money im definatly w/o a doubt gonna cop the new album hop umc gonna still be on there
i hear you on that.. common's finding forever i could tell after hearing the first 3 songs plus the people track that it would be a classic...
common's a fuckin beast period
common always comes correct
wow common is conforming to the game he would never rap about that stuff like that b4, its hot though
He been rapping about stuff like this, but Common is lyrical on it, so it sounds different.
go listen to can i borrow a dollar, bet you wont say that after listenin to his old shit. thats some real ass mc shit right there.
nah common rapped about some of this shit sometimes...go back to the common sense days before makin statements son
soon as i heard this had to put it on the cd and roll around wit this bumpin' shits definately hot this is the kinda reason i like to cruise to
this is a grimey track..i like this shit especially right now cuz im high as fuck lol
^co-sign especially the high part
this shit is real nice..i like the beat a lot, pharrell has been and ALWAYS will be a problem..
this song is real nice, i like common..i still think its real nice that pharrell, common, lupe and kanye, and even jay all work together-because they all make good (G.O.O.D.) music..word up
chitown stand the fuck up!!!
yes there are people who doubt hiphop in its entirety, FUCK you listen to common thats all that needs to be said!
Stand up 4 Real Hip Hop
Common is REAL Hip Hop. Definition of a real MC. As long as Common's around lil wayne is no one, at least not the "best rapper alive". Im probly gonna get a lot of negatives for this but shit i dont care. COMMON SENSE YALL.
you wont get an arguement from me on that. common is ill. he took it back to can i borrow a dollar.
Common is underated, but Im feeling him no doubt.
fire
thank u common for this. I need more of this real hiphop.
here biggie on it i like
CHANNELED BIGGIE....both of them..classic idea
OOHHH MYYY FUCKIIN SSHHHITTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THIS SHIT GO HARD ASS FUCK!!!!!
BukU sTYLE
Common is HIP HOP
Chicago up!
Another hot joint from the Chi. so old school, yet now. So hip-hop..
Barack yo'self foo.
me myself not a big fan of common.. but i ain't gon like.. Dope track
Damn i havent been on in a minute..but i had to log in to comment on this..Common always come correct he creeping up to that legend status now
GOOD MUSIC BABY!
Hit us up http://www.myspace.com/beatbrothersproduction

cosign, good music.
Chi Town's God! Common killed it, I didn't like UMC that much but this track sounds sick...The Neptunes are obviously on the same level as Mr West, so if they do produce most of the album it will be another classic....and for the record, Pharrell IS one of the best rappers, this is yet another verse where he has just ripped it...he needs to drop an all-rap album, I mean he isn't bad at the R&B shit...but his raps are incredible...*Hoping CRS drop this year*
GOOD MUSIC 2 THE DEATH DAMN I REALLY AM MAD THEY PUSHED IT BACK 2 SEPTEMBER
his first verse was soso but the 2nd was a lot better
This is Hip Hop Baby!!!!!!! I couldnt have said it better myslef...and by the way...I dont if Skateboard got a ghost writer or whatever ....but his flow is definitely improving
A Fresh Breath Of Hip-Hop...
Common can rap...for real
god damnit, chitown niggas always come correct, common most underrated artist in the game, so sad the record sales dont show what kind or work this kat puts in his albums. THIS IS HIP HOP!!!
common ripped this one...rell did his thing too!!! real hip-hop
Common always kept it real and never dissapointed with his delivery ...he's not even a rapper he's a conscious MC,I like this track right here!
LOL people forgot (or didn't know) Common was a G back in the day. I think he's putting his acting skills to use in his raps, I like where that has potential to go.
Love common,Love Pharrell but pharrell uses to many of those synthesizer keyboard cuts.But pharrells rap sounds good on dis!
The brilliant thing about this track is that its so unique, they both bring there game to the table on this one.
Sounds like 90s Common.
