This song is fucking legendary. Pay attention to the rhyme schemes in each of the verses. Verse 1: All 1 syllable rhymes with the same vowel sound, Verse 2: is 2 syllable rhymes and Verse 3: is 3 syllable rhymes. Common is one of the most skilled lyricists to ever live.
Never peeped that!! Make him even more sic
+JOHNNY STORM dope
peep game
this was always was ill to me but thank you so much for pointing that out damn now it's 10x as hard
+Funkypotato14 Real Heads still exist!
Sometimes I get the feeling that I am beginning to hate Hip-Hop but then I listen to older stuff like this and I remember why I fell in love in the first place.
YES! 😏
I feel ya. Listen to the old school hip-hop and you will never go wrong.
Just like that
only thing wrong with this is it only has 2.4M views.. smh
I'm 19 and already feeling this way. Makes me so sad sometimes that I feel like I missed out on when hip-hop was REALLY hip-hop. I caught a glimpse at the end with stuff like this
"We make songs about wrong because it's hard to see right" word 2 mother🕊️👩🏾🎓🕊️🌹
Ye outdid himself on the production of this beat and Common went off the rail with the lyrics...... nothin short of a MASTERPIECE!
Ye went insane on this
Facts 💯
black is beautiful. black is beautiful.
All the time
Black power
Someone forgot to tell Kanye
I live in Chicago and I love how they pay homage to our city....It's ruthless, lawless, and mostly corrupt....But we can always come to "our corner" and become poets, politicians, and or just shoot the shyt....Black creativity and spirit at it's finest...Good Job Kanye on capturing the gritty essence of Our Chicago!!! Love
I love your comment even 10 years later
Big facts respect Queen what up Chicago .
All Truth!
BIG FACTS !!!! & THIS IS STILL A JAM! 🎵‼️ #ChiTown here !!! 87th!!!
Greatest city on earth 💙🤍❤

MASE JUST KILLED THIS
That first verse is just on a whole other level. Common is a genius.
Absolutely. ✌🏾

It was dope how he just gave the four corners in a black p stones love
@@jasonwilson8671real talk
This was written by Ye
Common "HAS TO BE" in the top 5 of storytelling, this is hip-hop at it's finest
He's really so good and has no cursing words in his raps. That's what our kids needs.
Absolutely agree with you👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
@@amanieuclidehe does swear wdym it's just bleeped here
Anybody here in the year 2024? 🙋♂️
I'm in 2027..
My old man would always through this record on and I still listen to it to this day
Yeah mate mase frestyling over this beat brought me back here 🏴
🫡💯
Yeah mate. Listening now in Scotland 🏴
"We write songs about wrong cause it's hard to see right" 🔥💪🏾💯
Verse 1, each line ends with 1 syllable words,
Verse 2, 2 syllable words,
Verse 3, 3 syllable words, Common is a genius
How did I never notice this (although not 2 syllable words, same two syllables rhyme)
that's crazy
Nehemiah Cavazos I saw that other comment too
Nehemiah Cavazos Incorrect. Verse 1 is 4 syllable rhymes, verse 2 is 2 syllables, and verse 3 is 3 syllables.
omg
The way Com wrote his verses STILL amazes me. His name ain't mentioned enough when top 5 rappers/lyricists are mentioned
Soultronics idk about top 5 but top 10-15 definitely
nope 5-10 no lower
He's true. He knows the people that matter the most (those of us who live and love hip hop) important folks know and love him. I've a feeling you must lose alot of morals to be on TV and radio and be pushed like Kanye was, Jay-z(Hawaiian Sophie-haha.Easy to talk tough with paid security) is, and the greatest stopped being in the 90s. Pro black? No exposure. Just normal, not negative gangsterism? Soundcloud and small clubs. Better be shallow, materialistic, and telling on yourself for stuff you've never done or the corporate will block anyone seeing you on a large scale. You black? Act dumber and a bit gaudy and tactless. You might get a chance. Ye went the materialism route. Without that, he'd be like Com, DOOM, Lord Finesse, a million others. Financially stable and safe(not rich), respected, and happier.
my man J D, can you explicate your words deeper? Would like to know what are you really saying.
just the impression i get. i know i wouldn't want to have my music bbecome so valued materialistically that people around me tried to influence it, nor decide which pieces the public saw, thus forming a false image of me.
Chicago a beautiful city!
Common is one of the best mcs to come out....
Commons first verse is one of the best verses of all time
Sam Smith yes sur!!
When opinion becomes fact
It's very sad that many people dont appreciate great artists anymore. Common is easily one of the best rappers ever. He's a complete artist but never got the recognition he deserves. He's been doing what everyone is applauding kendrick for. Legendary artist.
But he's calm about it. When someone shouting it in your face (K.Dot) it different. You don't have a choice but to hear it. But common so cool about it a lot of 90's and 00's babies would hear the opening bars to this, think it's "wack" and keep it moving. Sad, really. They missing great art...
And it's actually so similar to Like Water For Chocolate. Even some of the producers on TPAB worked with the Soulquarians around that time. Like Tony Rutledge Jr said, Common did the same thing and IMO probably did it better and in a less commercial way
Tony Rutledge Jr
yeah, definitely more than ever
How isn't common getting the attention he deserves? He's highly regarded as one of the GOATS of rap in many communities.
because his talent could make him on Jay's level of fame, but he won't throw his dignity and ethics away enough. That's my suspicion.
Kids nowadays don't even know how great Common is. it's sad
Guilty Simpson I do
Guilty Simpson
It's "Common Sense" you stupid Millennial.
Kreepy Pasta its both you hardly hear anyone call him Common Sense in the video it says starring Common it doesn't say starring Common Sense
Guilty Simpson I'm 13 years I listing to common he is great
Mase did his thing but it made me want to come back and listen to this original classic. Ain't nothin' toppin' this. 🔥🔥🔥
One of the greatest songs in hiphop ever .
Kanye and his soul beats was on another level I swear
ThatDude7132: 10/19/21.. Still SLAPS. . .after all these years
Right? He so much better when it’s just him a dope soul or funk sample and a drum machine
I miss THESE Chicago winters! They tell the best stories, & make the best movie scenes.❄️💨🌨🌧🌬🌨
This could quite possibly be the greatest hip hop song ever put down. I mean that.
Tony DeGregorio this and I Used To Love H.E.R. by Common too haha the man is an underrated legend 😤😤
You might be right
The People
I agree
Hey definitely top 5 in BARS he went nuts... on this joint...
Who Still Bumping This In 2020
✋🏾 2020 and beyond. ✌🏾
ruclips.net/video/f3a_si4A1vQ/видео.html
We will be bumping into the ages.
I listened to some Imiri Baraka and some Kanye Cortez,, last night. Mother Cortez , she influenced the Watts Prophets, who started around the same time as the Last Poets. All on Utube. Have you heard Brotha Keepa, Amon Rashidi, Quiet Rage, Maj You're, The Original Woman, Mutabaruka, Oku Onua, Sister Binta Breeze, Warrior Griot, Sekou Sundiata and others ? I have found some of the Last Poets work under their homes individual names. There were 7 members, plus the percussionists. Let me know if you want more people, to go with the great music, in your collection. Blessings to You and to The Great Ones. I am jamming with Fela Kuti next, then Femi Kuti, Seun Kuti and Sonny Okosum. Also look up Jamaican Reggae poet , Micheal Smith, titled. My Caan Believe It. Recorded in the early 1980s
Me... And sharing it, explaining to my Children & Grandchildren who the The Last Poets were & are. What they meant & mean to OUR PEOPLE & the REVOLUTION!!!! 💛✊
Correction. Jayne Cortez,. Also I found. Nikki Giovvani. Titled Ego. Tripping. Amiri Baraka. Nation Time on line
I used to kick it with Common at the car wash in Hyde Park, a real down to earth brother and this video shows Chicago in the true sense of its urban life.. I been to or lived near or drove thru Every place in this video.. Power to the People..
I wish Chicago rappers would go back to rapping like this.
2023, still a classic! Nobody can deny Common's talent (except nowadays kids)
Perfect beat, deep lyrics, storytelling with the touch of the last poets' spoken words...
💯
2024 and it will FOREVER “BE” a classic.
This album stayed in my cd player all year . Common is the illest
. . . Same. ---->>>>
@@DrMoriole biggie smalls is the illest remember that
Illest matic
"The corner, where struggle and greed fight... we write songs about wrong because it's hard to see right."
That's why I keep saying... gangsta rap ain't nothing but an extension of the blues.
People ask me why I listen to country music. I tell them it’s white blues music
@@PeanutsandPopcorn man, country was crested by 🗣BLACKS, 🤡
“It’s so Black!
Packed with action that’s affirmative!” 🔥
Common looks like he's still gonna be rapping at age 92 and be pretty darn dope at it.
For real
Sean Lane Dude's an authentic Hip-Hop head and really talented.
I definitely agree with you on that
Maka Velli: Second...... that.....POV!!!!
CocoaFemme 1015 Common is that nice
Chicago! my city man! Midwest! Where Legends are born!
All I can say it's a CHICAGO THANG! If you know you know!
This is so dope, I can feel the cold air coming off of the screen.
Thought I was the only one. ✌🏾
ruclips.net/video/f3a_si4A1vQ/видео.html
Common the best Chicago rapper hands down.
Ever heard of Kanye?
Ever heard of Twista?
Lupe?
He said what he said.
James Anderson right, he said wtf he said
Real lyricism with the perfect delivery for the beat
I don't know about these young boys today but I'm 36 and this video embodies the essence of a Chicago winter. Every scene is reality in the Chi. The train yards where we used to break in carts and do grafitti. The pimps and macks, the liquor stores on every corner, old schools, vacant lots, tenements, L-trains running through the city like blood through the veins, the hustlers, the subways, the rooftops, the skyline, the lakeshore, the Southshore, gangs, the Mob, the Nation of Islam, Muslims, rappers, hoopers, the poets, the fire side trash cans, whinos, the cold, the warmth, the love. It's Chicago.
If you’re from Chicago you can literally feel this song #southside
Yesssssssuuuurrrr #englewood

Not from Chicago but I've been there so I feel this
I was born and raised in Chicago. It’s good to see someone from Chicago giving it a positive look. Common is one of the few rappers that I would listen to.
I wouldn’t say he’s giving it a positive look. He definitely is a diamond coming from such a pressurized city as Chicago.
The cold weather being implicitly expressed in the video is the symbolism for how cold the city is.
@@tysonsimmons2295 Chicago is like this we never have a fall, it’s goes from summer to winter, lol.
Man this has got to be one of my top 5 Common songs. This really fun to learn the lyrics to this and rhyme with him. This was so well written, the beat perfect and the poetry in the middle.... Man this makes me proud to be from the south side of Chicago.
TooMany Gamez great track but for me Respitation - Black star & common is one of his best
+TooMany Gamez I feel you dont know whats going on, but thanks for joining.
Also-"I'm in my own world"-"I can't believe it:I got shot!"hahahahaha-brilliant, good man
Im from LA and I'm one to say that I recognize a bar legend , poet ,a true mc . one of the best ever.
My favorite Song he made
The song will forever be on my playlist.
the rhyme scheme here is fantastic. Common is top five all time for sure.
Woah. I don’t think he can for sure be top five when there’s Jay-Z, Nas, Eminem, Rakim, Biggie, 2Pac, Big L, Andre 3000, Kendrick, Big Pun and a ton more
I’d say he’s top 25 for sure but not top 10. And this is from someone who has Common as one of their favourite rappers ever
We are passionate about this, huh? Maybe not top 5, but Jay is talented, no Com Sense to me.Likewise Pun.Big L, Kendrick, El-p, GHOST, RAE,Roger and brother GZA are all amazing-I still rock all Eric B & Rakim records. Vinnie from Phillie, so many.But-it's '95, we're drinking beers on the curb with our lil tape player:KRS or Rak?Why are we listening to Diamond Shell?
I totally agree with you!!! He is so underrated and deserves more recognition!!!
@@JDtimesten I'm sorry but lyrically Common is definitely better than Big Pun and Jay Z😔
@@africanbella28 I agree
This is Chicago’s eternal theme song 🔥
No doubt
And I'm from the west side
@@johnwhite960 homecoming by ye
Don’t care what anybody says, Southside is the Soul of Chicago! We influence the great culture of Chicago.
This is the soundtrack for the culture!
Thank you, Lonnie Lynn Jr.
I cannot express in words how much I love this song!!! 🙌🙌🙌
I wish I could give you this feeling lol
🙌
The whole album
I wish I could give you this feeling. Its that Midwest Chicago Detroit Cleveland feeling.
Its that ChiTown sound homie its funky and stylish homie.
Thats cool homie
nikko garcia I wish I could give you this feeling. Its that Midwest Chicago Detroit Cleveland feeling.
Hell Ya I remember this jam man you need to come join our facebook group its called the chill spot hold up i'll get the link
John Jacobs You know what.. I hear you on the Midwest thing, biut I’ve always felt that this record was for every hood, in every urban area all around the country
one of the coldest beat ive ever heard
"The world is cold. The block is hot as a stove."
Greatness lies in the simplicity of expression.
This is pure,uncut hiphop
crazy how soulful this is. such a classic. and the story behind it is even more miraculous. Kanye showing up the studio 3 hours late after partying all night. telling common he needs a nap. common jus sitting around waiting for ye to wake up and when he does 2 hours later, ye busts this beat out within the hour AND drops the sample in it. common ripped his verses before they left. pure magic.
"The Street.... Ain't SAFE cuz they ain't knowing the CODE." This shit is lyrical ingenuity.
Now I roll in an Olds with windows that don’t roll 🤴🏾🔥🎤🔥🎤🔥🎤🔥🎤🔥🎤🔥
yo Common DESTROYED this!! Geez!! 1st verse rhymed 1 syllable, 2nd verse 2 syllables, 3rd 3 syllables! Lotta People ain't catch that
This song is textbook rap/hip hop. Common could teach a class on how to do rap the right way.
"fires raised as tribal dances & war cries broke out on every corner power to the people ,black power , black is beautiful ." rip george floyd
😢😥🙏🏽🤲🏽💪🏽❤️🖤💚✊🏽
you cant even touch this beat unless you spittin some hot shit
Common legit one of the most underrated Rappers. That old school story telling hip-hop. His verses are always on point
Never underrated. Just slightly underappreciated
That box cutty tho 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Chicago is Common's hometown
the last poets 🙌
❤️🖤💚🙏🏽🤲🏽💪🏽🧠💯💥✨💯🔥🔥🤯🤯
The world is cold , the block is hot as a stove. Real dope rhymes. This is true lyricism at it's best. This is what hip -hop should be. Common delivers the rhymes to the beat so smooth and the beat is nice. A person can bop his head to this beat. The conscious commentary by The Last Poets and the old Kanye West going in. I miss this music.
❤️✊🏽
🔥💯
Straight conscious fire 🔥
This is one of Common's dopest songs ever!!!
Imagine 2pac on this one
Home. He’s talking about home for us Chicagoans 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
This beat rocks,especially with the speakers blasting.lyrics is incredible.
❤️
I don’t know how that line went over my head all these years. “The streets ain’t SAFE cause they ain’t knowing the CODES” 🔥🔥🔥
All the references in this gem. If you a Chi-Town OG, IYKYK. From the 4s to the Moes, 5 point Star and People Nation, etc. Back in the day, when Cube and Westside Connection stepped to Com, social media and information on the net wasn't what it is now. You couldn't just Google a cat and his clout and connects to know what was what. Ish like that wasn't out in the open. The Westcoast was at its peak in popularity and rep in the early '90s, so Cube and them was feelin' themselves thinking Com wasn't bout that "Rah rah" life. Didn't realize they bit off more then they could chew. Just cause Com was on that underground lyrical conscious tip they didn't think he was from the cloth. Wasn't about that life. The moral to the story. Underestimate nobody. Good seeing the legends squash it though.
What are the Moes.? And hell yea. I'm from the midwest and we fk w Common. We had VLs and Folks. You could tell He was VL affiliated, being from the midwest you could tell who was connected w with who in a sense.
@kactusJacko Moes another name for BPSN. Almighty Black Peace Stone Nation. They affiliated with VL.
Here here
No other song can capture Chicago from the mid 2000s perspective...
Salute
2024. Still a masterpiece.
Legendary Track Right Here
Kanye vocals 🙌🏽 🔥🔥.. This song is so Chicago 💯
I was a kid and I remember watching the poets on the southside of Chicago shout out to common
Who is the greatest rapper? It has to be someone whose words mean something, and that puts Common head and shoulders above the usual contenders.
Common has amazing bars. No matter what neighborhood you’re from, the corner is today’s school for anthropological study. Not about skin, tone or location, location, location, but helping.
He showing winter time Chi Town 💪🏾
Common has the message here as usual but he does it in a much more technically lyrical way here than normal. What a true great MC.
4.6 million after 13 years on RUclips is criminal. This song is a classic and deserves more views.
I love how they used the cold weather to express how cold the city is socially,
Black is beautiful 💯
🗣📣 ALWAYS & FOREVER 👊🏿
the beat is everything
So Chicago
You can call this Chicago State of Mind. This is mad similar to N.Y State of Mind
Happy birthday to one of the Greatest MC's ever to touch a Mic!! Common sense!!
When Chicago was DANGEROUS
Only Kanye and J Dilla can produce such an amazing album.
Common's lyricism...GODDAMN!!
Common BODIED the first verse.
Yeah he definitely destroyed the whole song but the first verse might be the best Bars I ever heard.
The whole damn thg 😜👁️❣️🔥
#Word! My boo did ❤️🖤💚😘💥💫
@@beaszze The wind is cold and it blows...that shit cut deep lol
@@Closedeyewilly Fam you got to be from Chicago that wind in the winter make yo ass go back inside lol
the last poets? yeah, they pretty much killed it. the corner.
What an amazing era the late 90s and early 2000's were. Common, Talib Kweli, and Yasin Bey/Mos Def.
Real rap. Real poetry from the pavement. Common top 10 all time imo.
Common and Kanye was Chicago before all this drill music poison. Phenomenal song with a strong message.
This is lyrical rap skill!!!🔥🔥🔥
The Lyrics🔥…. The Beat🔥….
Still a Masterpiece ❤
This is anthem not just a song ✊🏾💯✍🏾 great lyrics here!!!!
My shit!! Common went in on this, Lyrically!! Song is so dope!!! He brought the grid of the streets into song!! I love it!!
''We write songs about wrong cause it's hard to see right, looking to the sky hoping it be light....''!!
+NellyBelle I saw your comments on Aaliyah songs earlier lol, great minds think alike
Bren Mitchell
thank you and yes we do!!
+NellyBelle You got to be kidding me! lol this has got to be the third time I ran into you in the comment section of my favorite vids
xldjvista
naw lol its me!!! lol you will see me on all of what is good music!!!
+NellyBelle thats was one of the best bar on the song
Common has still never gotten the recognition that he earned. Hes so damn good. He gets better & better after every verse on here. Hes so so so good!
Damn I miss when hip hop fed my soul, motivated and inspired me
RESPECT TO BOTH OF THE GOATS. GREATEST HIP HOP MC'S . THE GREATEST PRODUCERS AND ENGINEERS. KINGS 👑 .
Only real OGs still listening to this In 2019😎
This is when hip hop was hip hop
