Sneakerhead On a budget me too. I was listening to this when this came out and my gma and unc was still alive before they were killed. And I'm hurting so much inside... Tears fall..
Sneakerhead On a budget I'm listening and crying now I don't know why. I am alone been on my own since 12. I'm from chi so this is bitter sweet. I lost so many people. I gotta chief off this. Veteran of USAF. I lost so many soldiers. In the desert. This song is g.o.a.t
Beautiful beat production on J Dillas part combined with my man Common's beautiful lyricism and story telling is a recipe for pure perfection. These two legends always manage to evoke some real ass emotion's from all of us who's been through some real life struggle shit whether it be past or present. Rest in Peace J Dilla gone but still heard worldwide. Much love fam- Peace, stay up my fellow brothers and sisters.
This his best song the message of it helped me be a better man’s I wrote out the poem by his dad at the end and have it taped to the inside of my locker at work to this day 💯
Common, always a talented person. This is music to clam the soul, easy on the ears, heavy on the mind and passionate to the heart. Will always love his music!!!!
Love is the energy that is inside of the vibe from this song and the beat. 1 Luv common and the rest of those who seek it and desire the goodness of life..... Keep thinking positive blessings.
I don't know why this beat makes me want to cry. Or Makes me be reflective, sad. The beat reminds me of an era that passed that I was never a part of. You know, a time of blackness when there was much black pride, love and afros. Hard times and somehow we goin' make it feel. This is truly the type of music that's got greatness in it. The type of effect that should be tried to reach for. Hope Hip Hop come back, at least in a different way, but with an effect.
J Dilla damn!! 2005 timeless!! R.i.p ro a great!! Beat so hot for years i thought Kanye made it. Love this. This album was way over a lot of heads but it was 🔥🔥🔥!!
i hear the beat originally was made for GhostFace, and Common fought tooth and nail to get the beat and write on it. this track replaced "8 minutes to Sunrise" ft Jill Scott on the album. GFK got mad about this, but he was given three beats he used on "fishscale" album,. R.I.P Dilla Dwag
.. interesting . would be interesting to how Ghost would have dropped . Ghost is Solid .. but he's very different to Common . Prodigy would have been a nice addition to this beat . His introspective is deep too
I was listening to this album in my car the other day and because it was a gorgeous day outside and I was stuck in rush hour traffic I just rolled down the windows and blasted this joint while bobbing my head looking at other drivers.
Ay, when I first heard this joint in 2005 my jaw dropped. Young Jeezy had me and my friend ears that year. But I played this for my friends to show another style of street music.
what a dream combo - common, dilla, bilal!!!! also, slum villa, common, dwele, dilla - WOW!!! LUV THIS, THANKS FOR POSTING, THANKS TO DILLA FOR THE MUSIC RIP!!! XXXXXX
check the long version...blew my whole heart open...and my high. I was crying that ugly uncontrollable cry too. Felt better afterwards tho'. #CommonJDilla #theTruth
shaun anderson that's me right now bro, I was listening to this masterpiece and contemplating life and the next thing I'm overwhelmed with emotions. This album helps me stay grounded
Siyanda N. Not every artist has the range to help ppl find the part of themselves that can receive the heartfelt vibes they barely find time for...Common is NOT one of those artist. #gr8album #gr8track #gr8production Stay peaceful Love, and thank you...I knew I wasn't the only one. - no I.D.
does anybody else feel the second verse the way i do? "i remember in highschool she had a passion to sing, now she see herself in a casket in dreams" hands down the realest shit ive ever herd. i swear i know this girl
There were a few females I know that could sing…Luckily none of them fell on hard times using drugs or worse. The few I know either taking care of children or they using their music for a better purpose for God
One of my uncles put me on Common with the 'Like Water For Chocolate' album when I was young. My peers roasted me for liking Common until the Be album dropped. This album showed them how raw he is.
so influential.. makes me feel like i need to go write something special... anything, a poem, clear, intelligent thoughts on paper, something! THanks Com
"Man to man, I'm good working with my hands. My generation never understood working for the man. And of being broke I ain't a fan. Now I stand in the same spot as my old man. My life I plan not to be on this corner. I still want to see California. But this is my world."
Went to school in Baton Rouge for couple of years, my college career got down with a couple of beers, came back home, now i gotta pay back loans............ my life

RIP Dilla you are still so missed.
Love is the energy that is inside of the vibe from this song and the beat. 1 Luv common and the rest of those who seek it and desire the goodness of life..... Keep thinking positive blessings.
Somehow this gives me a really nostalgic feel... And I only discovered this album about half a year ago
KlaasDeKaasBaas that's the power of JAY DILLA! ... It's bittersweet...
I don't know why this beat makes me want to cry. Or Makes me be reflective, sad. The beat reminds me of an era that passed that I was never a part of.

Hope Hip Hop come back, at least in a different way, but with an effect.
I swear if there's a god, he took special care crafting Common and J Dilla
Lol kanye get no props for makin the other 9 songs?
@@KNEWRETRO yeah, he is so fucking good
@@KNEWRETRO no, hahaha!

Who wouldn't fight over a J Dilla beat man if common didn't get this I wouldn't know if GHost would've made matching fire like Common
@@non-binary-fox Reminds me of an extension of the Purple Tape . Ghost & Rae.
Common hit some hard points on this 1
It sounds like a Wu Beat honestly, I could definetly see ghostface or any of em bodying this beat
@@shaque1188 GZA , Deck & Rae' fit this one pefect
whoever produced this beat is making my soul jump high
The one and only incomparable J Dilla
Shay fo sho rip Jay Dee
This and the Light are my favourite songs from Common.. RIP Dilla!
Wish dilla was alive today. He made beautiful magic that shocked hip hop.
'Love this...!!! Nostalgia just takes me to the 70s, that soul sound of the decade!
Bilal killed this
Common be speaking on some real shit, unlike 94% of these rappers today.
I just got chills. Good Bless Common... God bless Dilla! RIP
This song takes me places. I'd give anything to chill, drink a beer, and talk about life with Com.
No words can describe what this song does to me. So nostalgic. The beat, vocals, and tinkering bell, and of course the lyrics.
Great album from beginning to the end!! Peace ✌️ and blessings to everyone!
This song really exemplifies street music to me. The Be album blew my mind at 21 years old.
"Said it was her toes but I could tell her soul heart"...Common is on another level.
This is a daily bump forever🤘🏾❤️
Top tier track... 2 GOATS on a tracks... J Dilla on production and Common on the mic 🔥💯
Dilla ain't no joke!
2024 still listen to this CLASSIC 💪🏾
💯🔥
Classic banger
This album is so legendary 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I'm crying don't know why. Love my city.
Common at his BEST!
This has to be one of hip hops greatest albums I don’t care I was 15 when this come out and still gives me the same feeling today ❤️
this song really makes me cry........makes me think about ALOT of things
Kenzell Lewis I feel you!!!!
Such a beautiful song!
I fucking love this song! The greatest. I'll be hearing this when I'm 70 and grey and old..

"My mother gave birth but she never really had me"
#classic line👌✊💯
Okay, speak on it then
Was bounced around, growing up fast, as soon as he was old enough, be in tha streets. Mom at home worried. Lonnie out chilling
"My mother gave birth but she really never had me"
i dont get it...common has not two but three meanings of his lyrics...sometime I need a vocab what he really means...
So much soul, wisdom, purpose, knowledge in this song. Brilliant.
the instrumental alone, speaks volumes. RIP Dilla
Boy went off 🔥
I love kanye's music. Not only does he talk about life, he brings the whole game with it.
Best song on the album. Rip Dilla
