I always liked Common’s because he says “some days I take the bus home, just to touch home”. I was like, yeah, I take buses too.

Common wins, although seeing this video again reminds me of my love for Mos Def. He was the boo until he started having drama with his ex-wife. That totally messed up my fantasy.

Common, by a half of a millimeter.

This is the one song that I always use in defending hip-hop against neo-haters (those who think no good hip-hop has come out since the mid-90’s) and original haters (those who think hip-hop is not an art form). Even though I have an entire arsenal of quality hip-hop, this song alone can shut down their argument with the quickness.

I can’t choose My favorite verse cuz they all brought the pain on this one — all of them. However, I will say that My one gripe about the video was that Common’s part was shot in NY. Being a Common-er and Chicagoan, I thought that was kinda lame, but I understand Rawkus’ budget wasn’t swollen enough to do that for a video. Plus, both NY and the Chi (as well as many other cities around the US) suffer from the same issues. So I’ll let that slide, but I’m just sayin’ yo…

Well, they did put him in from of a bus stop with the Chicago ad in the background. He was representin’ from afar.

I had to look up the lyrics…my favorite bar is Talib Kweli

Some cats be emceeing to illustrate what we be seeing
Hard to be a spiritual being when sh!t is shaking what you believe in
For trees to grow in Brooklyn, seeds need to be planted
I’m asking if you feel me and the crowd left me stranded

Rawkus gets a point for that.
