when Kanye said " i met this girl when i was 3 years old and what i loved most, she had so much soul" on his song "Homecoming" he was paying homage to this song, Common was one of Kanye's idols
I wish there were more artists in Hip-Hop that made me feel the way this song does....oh well, I will embrace the ones that do even closer to my soul. P.P.P.EACE!!!
Okay, did anyone catch at 1:36 where they used the intro of Minnie Riperton's "Here We Go"...and then they went into Black Moon's "Who Got the Props"?? SICK!!
i think its also important to note that this song is from 94, I can only imagine what he thinks of hip-hop now if he thought it was dying back in the 90s... I really dont understand how the general public would rather listen to shit like solja boy and "stanky legg" than this... Common- keep doing your thing man.
@petercow2000 "A few New York niggas/catz that did her in the park" is referring to where hip-hop got its start, with Run-DMC and other Brooklyn/NY artists.
I'm not saying Common is the best rapper ever (there's no such thing as THE best rapper I think) and I don't know every rap song, but to me this is one of, if not THE best rap song I know.
It's considered the best rap song of all time. And even though he made this song 20 years ago, every rhyme he said has already happened. Just listen to today's "rap." It's all dominated by a hook and actual lyrics mean nothing
actually it means more than that. Plus what I am trying to say is that they do work together, plus they are from the same city. So there is no need for animosity. Rappers who are that close often exchange verses.
@Dendenmooshi What product are you talking about, he just chanted some hip hop phrases, and what song of his has betrayed the idea of this song? If your thinking about UMC then you missed the whole message of UMC
Yeah, that's right. My reply was to the guy who thought Common paid tribute to Kanye on a track that was released several years before anyone had ever heard of him.
if hes talkin bout hip hop he said "She not a church girl, Secular." Yall look up the word Secular, and that is what hip hop and the industry is... wake up people
HIP HOP HIP HOP HIP HOP HIP HOP HIP HOP HIP HOP HIP HOP HIP HOP HIP HOP HIP HOP HIP HOP HIP HOP HIP HOP HIP HOP HIP HOP HIP HOP YAAAAHHHHOOOOOOOO !!!!!
@DooWorkSun so what it was just the very beginning and Kanye used a girl as a Metaphor for the city of Chicago... like others said he did it to honor Common
No its exactly that he made the beat that's what produced means. Common is a lyricist kanye is a beatmaker. If anything common maybe wrote some lyrics for kanye in the past and even still but none of commons verses were written by kanye. Its like saying timbaland wrote aaliyahs verses. He only made the beats not the lyrics
Not to be critical, but I don't get the analogy of "a few ny niggas did her in the park" in relation to hip hop. Hip hop was birthed in New York. Someone please share your thoughts on what this analogy refers to!

Common is one rapper I really respect. Its not rough or crazy, just laid back and metaphorical.
this song is more true now then it has ever been
Wish i was there.
Wow, this is really great! Didn't expect the live version of this song to be this smooth
I wish there were more artists in Hip-Hop that made me feel the way this song does....oh well, I will embrace the ones that do even closer to my soul. P.P.P.EACE!!!
That guitar rift in the middle is nice
Holy fuck this rendition is dopery!
Agreed
poetry deeper than rap 1 of my all time favourite mcs hes a lyrical genius
The groove in this live performance gives the raps more emphasis. Love it!
Common is an amazing lyricist.
Common is not a rapper, he's an MC.
Common is one of the best Mc's ever
The middle part was the best,with just the instruments.No new rappers do shit like this.

Classy.
Simple.
The best hip hop song of all time

FaythHopeTV Yes! So beautiful. Thank you jazz, r&b and soul for leaving so many great records for hip hop to sample and revive those songs.
dope
yes this is the best rap song of all time!
i think its also important to note that this song is from 94, I can only imagine what he thinks of hip-hop now if he thought it was dying back in the 90s...
I really dont understand how the general public would rather listen to shit like solja boy and "stanky legg" than this... Common- keep doing your thing man.
No backtrack or playback or pitch correction... This is guy is the 100% real deal
the most Common

lool! so fuckin true man!!
actually it means more than that. Plus what I am trying to say is that they do work together, plus they are from the same city. So there is no need for animosity. Rappers who are that close often exchange verses.
That was so original and hilarious. Can I hang out with you?
@Dendenmooshi What product are you talking about, he just chanted some hip hop phrases, and what song of his has betrayed the idea of this song? If your thinking about UMC then you missed the whole message of UMC

No its exactly that he made the beat that's what produced means. Common is
a lyricist kanye is a beatmaker. If anything common maybe wrote some lyrics

written by kanye. Its like saying timbaland wrote aaliyahs verses. He only
made the beats not the lyrics
