THIS IS NOT AN OFFICIAL/APPROVED VIDEO.....IT WAS ACTUALLY SCRAPPED BUT UNFORTUNATELY IT LEAKED VIA A NON-LABEL ENTITY. THERE IS A NEW TOTALLY DIFFERENT VERSION IN PRODUCTION.

Love Com and I know the new album is supposed to be on some 'easy goin' summer joints don't take me too seriously' tip so i guess this one fits the bill.
I'm just not feelin' it. His lyrics on this one certainly are not up to par.
I've copped every single Common album since Can I Borrow a Dollar but I may be hangin' on to my dollars on this one.

FIRE!! Common isnt gonna dissapoint, when I heard Universal Mind Control, he was kind of losing me with the direction he was going in but this joint right here knocks!

I know some hardcore comm fans not feeling this one. I'd count myself as a huge common fan and i gotta say i love this track. Comm's done plenty of tracks trying to save souls and uplift the youth, and let's face it, those kind of tracks are definitely subject to the law of diminishing marginal returns.
i think i like this so much cos i got such love for biggie, and comm weaves the b.i.g rhymes and flows throughout the track, it's a nice ode to biggie and that whole 90s rap scene. kinda like comm is remaking i used to love HER as if he were signed to bad boy or somehting. really captures the era and it's funny as fuck... i mean COMMON SENSE rhyming "yeah i still love H.E.R/ she be needin the dick", comm's got a wicked sense of humour, respect.
