Thank you Common. You remember when Drake gave you a shout out on his earlier songs like Thrill is Gone"(2006) and was making music compatible with yours " Room For Improvement" (2006). Mos Def seems to forget he cosigned Drake real early in his career by having Drake open for his show via 2005 or 2006. Drake said coming up in his early career (2004-2006) in 2010 that he use to just listen to Common, Phonte, J Dilla etc. and didn't care for the mainstream at all . He knows about Drake boom bap/backpack rap roots just like Common does, that's how you know it was little bitterness on Mos end, but Mos is an amazing lyricist "Black on Both Sides" , Blackstar and the work he did on Lyricist Lounge (97 Rawkus days) undeniable greatness. That's why Drake called Common a god on Stay Scheming because he looked up to him lyrically and content-wise coming up.
Mos def want hating on Drake , he was making a statement of consumerism. the expanded clips has been released, if u hear the rest of what he said, it really wasnt about Drake but using Drake as the example since he was asked about Drake
@@mrlij6534 Regardless of what Mos was trying to imply, there's something he needed to understand which is hip hop is not a "street" genre anymore. Nowadays you got rap songs for all kinds of ears, ranging from drug rap, boom bap, melody rap, boogie rap, braggadocio rap, trap, luxury rap, mumble rap and the list goes on. Mos Def sounded like he wanted hip hop to remain seen as "street music". Hip hop is the most popular genre in the world right now, and Drake was definitely a part of that movement along with Kendrick and Cole who are very different artists but all three of them helped keeping hip hop alive and evolving to other demographic groups by experimenting fusing hip hop with other genres. I love Mos Def but I have never heard anyone say Mos Def is in their top 10 compared to Drake, Cole and Kendrick respectfully... he should be showing love to these young artists instead of trying to put them in a box. Just giving my $0.02 though
GenZ will always sleep on common & pete rock, unfortunately, because its GenZ saying "who is this yasiin bey that has the audacity to challenge OUR drake"
He's always been a positive, zen, healing type of artist. Him and jhud better work out. Drake is a commercial hip hop artist, not an MC I think that's what Mos meant.
Hip Hop is pop now that's point. Did you not see the Hip Hop 50th celebration at the Grammy? The Grammy awards is highest level of pop culture recognition.
I love that Common gave Hi-Tek his flowers. I was in my 20s listening all these guys (and still do actually) : Common, Mos Def, Kweli, Hi-Teknology vol.1&2, The Roots, Dilla and of course Badu, D and Bilal. The whole Soulquarians were such a breath of fresh air...
GenZ will always sleep on common & pete rock, unfortunately, because its GenZ saying "who is this yasiin bey that has the audacity to challenge OUR drake"
Mos Def is extremely calculated in his intentions. He knew calling out Drake would shine a very bright light on him. Thus creating a moment for his words to be heard by all. The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion
My favourite rapper of all times. If Com' was from NY, he'd probably be in everybody top 10. My man Rashid. I love how his paying homage to Nas. 1. One Day It'll All Make Sense 2. Resurrection 3. Be 4. Like Water for Chocolate 5. Finding Forever
Whoever did camera work for this one keep this format, the lighting is like real late with rosenberg but the camera angles are better, its own identity for the next year or so
Common is one of the greatest. Mos critique was bigger than Drake and hip hop. It was about capitalism, empire and what it means to be human/ i.e spirtuality. It went over most peoples heads bc everything is about personality worship. Drake is super talented but chooses to make shallow music in order to maximize sales- consumerism always has a negative effect on art
Crazy how Mos Def words went completely over most these Katz heads. Which really speaks to his exact point. The lack of critical thought. Drake is Hip Hop as much a Elvis was R&B. Again, mos won’t get the connection…
Drake & Kanye are "Hip pop."(i.e., Mainstream... A subscitorary of Hip Hop)...Nicki, Cardi, Meg are "Stip hop."(i.e., inspired outta Strip club culture)...Everlast, Kid Rock, Cowboy Troy, Yelawolf & Tom McDonald are "Hick hop."(i.e., inspired by Southern/Country music culture laid on top of Hip Hop beats)...Lacrae & Bizzle are Gospel Hip Hop.(Christian/Religious culture in Hip Hop)...A few examples of sub cultures w/in the culture of Hip Hop...Simple as that

Yall remember when Common gave Drake that smoke a few years ago with that Canada Dry bar...over Serena. Drake quietly backed off and went to go pick on Meek Mill 😂
I beg to differ. Rapping is what we do on a day-to-day basis, if you on the block rapping with your homeboys that's what you doing. You are rapping about this that and the third. Hip hop is a culture that is deeply rooted into the very fabric of where we come from. Fee facilitate what we feel through hip hop, rapping is what we do everyday, but it's not necessarily culturally driven from my point of view. View. Hip hop is break, dancing, graffiti and of course the music that we've all grown to love. That's just my opinion and my assessment.
Drake is a rapper and Yasiim is a B-Boy that Raps . A B-Boy and B- Girl live Hip Hop Culture. Pillers of Hip Hop - 1)DJing 2) Breaking 3) Graffiti 4) Rapping
If your world view is that of a simpleton to the point your biggest flex is having ability to identify a “hater”. Adds tremendous value to Mos Def comment.

I cant front on commons contribution to hip hop, he also seems to be a fairly nice person in general... But anybody talking in public about "self love"should be locked up in jail until he/she apologizes to the public and promises to never do it again. The person should also be obligated by law to stop loving themselves immediately! I didnt watch the interview yet but i really hope he did not actually say this type of stuff, thats where i draw the line, its just too far.

“Be” is still one of the best hip hop albums i ever heard
Produced by the Greatest producer of all time YE
The album and song itself is amazing ✊🏾

I just want to innovate and stimulate minds
Absolutely
Yea but wen u add different variables calling it TARGET music it turns into hate
Exactly
From which song is that line?
My Top 5 Alive; Nas, Common, Black Thought, Lupe and Andre 3K

That's a good list!

Crazy Ye and J Dilla met, and on Mother's Day. R.I.P. Jay Dee
RIP to the god Dilla
I'm glad Common wasn't on his salty sh** today. A very measured and intelligent reply about Drake. Drizzy has earned his success.
Like water Like chocolate still my favorite album from common...
I can imagine how many women common said the same things to and they all fall for it.
Thank you the same exact stuff
I was saying to myself I hope he doesn’t waste her time😮💨 she’s still young but not that young.
Man needed to hear this …thanks Common

Got put onto COMMON with his Resurrection album. He's a true Emcee.
Common a real one
