    Common- The Game Prod. by DJ Premier. The 90's to early 00's was well rounded for hip hop. Every aspect of Hip Hop was covered Wu, Death Row, Big, Nas ,Jay Z, Outkast, Common, The Roots, Black Starr, Bad Boy to name a few. Mainstream, Back Pack, Gangsta, Abstract, underground, consciousness, whatever Hip Hop you was looking for we had all. That's why it the Golden Era!!!

"I never call you my b**** or even my boo there's so much in a name there's so much more in you"..... And last but not least my favorite. "I know that sex ain't going to keep you but as my equal is how I must treat you"... If you ever want to express how you feel about your lady this is one of those songs

    And Common gets vicious on the mic too. Check out his Black Magic album. Check out his Cube diss and his Drake diss. Com is a spitter. His joint “I Used To Love H.E.R.” pissed off Cube and Mack 10, so Westside Connection dissed Common and he went back at them and he went hard. Didn’t even have to get super gangster to do it (even though he reminded them that he’s a 4 Corner Hustler). Common killed it on “Respiration” with Mos Def and Talib Kweli as well.

    IMO it was just a time when the scales were just outweighed on negative so i see this video was a fresh start too on Hip Hop to go back to the beginning where if you notice the scratch of the record, the classic beat and the classic " sampling ' which was missing in 2000 . which this sounds like something that came out in 1990. that's what made the song hot, it was the era of the " digital Age" and everyone song and videos had that glitch sound or 80% CGI stuff . plus this video nothin is everything is natural and real which hasn't been since 1995 when everything wa fabricated after. if my thought maybe hat the "brownstone "effect in this vid hasn't been since Biggie did a video . plus I think this one Common was in could be the Downstairs house that Tupac ran in from the movie Juice which was on reno in the movie itself . that building is on 127th and St Nicholas. just a nice block especially in the summer . i really loved this video in back 2000 when everyone was making video about having parties on Spaceships. this was about not losing your past.
