Com's lookin' bigger - i likes that shit...mmm. a swole vegetarian, lol.

i said it in another thread and i'll say it again - where the HELL is Dwele?

Video that fits the song. That's what I'm talkin bout.

that was so good. i really liked that much more than the game, it looked like it had a lot more substance. i like the people better in any case. I just got even more excited for this album!

The People that he meets and daps in the street- actors, extras, or Real People?

Real People in streets
Actors in hallway shots

I figured as much in the streets cuz some of them look geniunely geeked!

Nice Video! Common, as we know and love him.

Much Respect, Bro!

iiillllllllll.

that video was ill. from the lyrics to the cinematography. that was the best video i've seen so far this year. This is dude is LOVIN life right now. I've never seen ANYBODY that happy in a video. He's comfortable right now. and his stomach is still rumblin. Common is that nigga. never seen a rapper that happy.

Peace

It's inspiring to see.

But yeah, I love the video....

or do you get this eerie feeling of El Hajj Al Malik Shabazz when lookin' at this video????!!!!! Man, after hearin' Ear Drum and wit Finding Forever comin' we just might make it......be sure to check out the good brother Amir Sulaiman "Like A Thief In The Night"



Stay Firm! Ma Salaam

definitely my favorite video of the year so far!

i hadn't listened to any newly circulating Common material because i didn't want to spoil myself before the first video and/or album... so watching this video was also the first time i heard the song itself, and WOW this sure made my day

My city, chi-city.

cool video. this is sorta like the "be" video. biggin' up folk. that's whats up. funny wasn't feelin this song a while back but now its more favor now that there is a visual with it. but, i know that Com knows how to put an album together. i just hope/(think) it will bang. "black maybe", "the people" and another cut are kinda softer edge type songs plus the jawn from J-Dilla's "The Shining" will be on the album so i've had some doubts, but i'm sure dude will pull through. and even if he drops a stinker and the masses support its still a win.

as long as Com is winning that's all that matters. so hopefully he and 'Ye will reach back and share that or rub some of their knowledge of how to be accessible with De La, Q-Tip/Tribe, Kweli, Pharoahe, Ghostface, Redman, Mos, Nas, Little Brother, and KRS One.
(fingers crossed)

All relaxed, and Common looking so happy being among the people. It was really great to see a video with the rapper grounded within the community instead of beatin' down the block, sittin' on chrome (which isn't too bad, there's just too much) or dealing.

This track right here nigga!!! This track right here....

I found the new Primo! (c) Common

that shows the man is truly down for the people. I'm feeling this video better than The Game. Com has to be a role model and should be the face of hip hop if given the opportunity.

from the whole "positive rap" movement. Oprah may have him on the show again. who knows.

On the real tho, He is definitely doing it. I'm eagerly waiting for the album.

He had me with "Black Maybe"
this video is just how i imagined itr would

keep it up Com

and he looks great! : )

i love the whole vibe of the video. he looks good, too.

cool playlist.

I already loved this osng, but now I'm sitting in my office, grinning wild sheepish...gaddmmit...dass my nigga.

no homo...

video is nice too...

viedoes on smash don't work for me at work

this single along with the one joint, Misunderstood got me hype for the album now.

i'm gettin' that junkie itch for the end of july. (scratches neck furiously)

This is like the Only Real Video Out nowadays. Where He actually interacts with what he Speaks upon in the song. lol. That Shit is Cool Though. Can't Wait Til the Album.

I'm not surprised at all. Com is and has been a trailblazer in this thing for quite a while.

Where were the scenes where he's politikin' w/the people was shot? That was not Chicago! Does anybody recongnize that part of town?

But it's time to give credit where it is due. Dope song! Dope video! Can't wait for the CD! From what I've heard, this is looking to be classic release! Respect.

free'Kinda like "Star" but way better !

song is even better. com coming with the mainstream goodness

its mainstream-tastic.

Damn, that video is pretty sweet. I like how it's all quick paced for those of us with short attention spans.

Does anyone know who directed it?

he also directed The Game

it says toward the bottom...

http://www.videostatic.com/vs/2007/week23/index.html

Common comes correct on that one,thats that grown man sh*t right there.
who made the beat?sounds madlib-ish...


Diggr Barnz the dusty vinyl villain.

I'm pretty sure the beat was done by KanYe West.

This video is hot. Nobody is hitting the mic harder than Common right now. Between him and Kanye the rap game is returning to it's roots and revitalizing the game to it's original glory. The party time is fun but now it's back to real hip hoptry:7

looking forward to the album.

That line in the song - "Nobody believed me until I believed me"...its so real. Good video, good message...I'm lifted. Continued success to him.

i hope common wins a grammy with this album!
This time they cant india irie him.
