cosign 2. Sometimes Pharrell’s beats are like Timbaland, in that they overshadow whoever on the mic. Common need them NO I.D., J Dilla beats so you could hear what the fuck he sayin. One of Common biggest flaws is he step out of his lane, case in point

pharell beats dont always overpower the rhymes .. for example the beats he does for the clipse you still get the full effect from their 16 bars… however common is not the clipse and his poetic style fits better with kanye, noid, dilla, etc beats

common’s last two albums felt the same to me. and his flow never really changed up so i got bored, REGARDLESS of how potent his lyrics were to other listeners.

this beat doesn’t fit him, in my opinion =)

I’m glad to hear Common switch it up. He took it back to the Afrika Bambataa days. And guess what…he was spitting hot lyrics on a party track. I hate when ppul say, “you can’t be lyrical on a party song.” Well this song proves that you can be lyrical, all you need is a good hook and a tight beat to move ppul’s feet.

I like this. An ode to Afrika Bambaataa. Nice.

This beat is crazy lol. Doesnt sound like its been mastered. His vocals sound to low over the instrumental.

The sh#t is crazy. Something different just what the game needs. The hook reminds me of Afrika Bambataa

cosign wit 6. he sound weird on da beat cuz he seem like more of a soulful dude but thatz not how he’s comin off on this track. He need 2 use common sense and stick to wat he was doin on Be.

Are me and Dirty Dunz (#7) the only ones feelin’ this?!!? I’m a Common fan and I think it’z ridin’ like a mofo. U do have 2 understand that he is an “ARTIST”! He doesn’t have 2 be limited 2 a Dilla/Kanye/No I.D. type sound. Plus it’s not like this is a single, eventho I think it could be if it had a BIGGER hook.
