EXCLUSIVE STILLS FROM COMMON’S NEW VIDEO
Tuesday, October 16, 2007
Here are some exclusive stills from Common’s new video “I Want You.” Don’t know much about the video except for that fact that Kerry Washington (Common’s rumored girlfriend) directed it. A lot of cameos in this one including Alicia Keys, Serena Williams, Kanye West and probably more.
The video will premiere on 106 & Park on October 23rd and on TRL on October 25th.

Him and Alicia seems to have chemistry since that movie they did together. But his rumored gf directed it so I doubt there’s more to it than that.

Damn..the brothas always got lightskin women all up in their videos.
I thought Common was one of the few rappers who appreciated darkskin women. Guess not. He’s all up in Alicia’s face like all the other colorstruck brothas.

A KEYS…. is a good actress cuz she can make it look like she has chemistry with everybody…. Usher in my Boo….Mos Def in u don’t know my Name…..Method Man ..,etc now Common. However not feelin her new music so maybe acting is better for her right now.

I can’t wait to see the video because I Want You is one of the tracks that I really like. Someone told me that this song was about his ex Erykah Badu and if you listen to the lyrics make you say hmmmmmm.

I thought I heard Alicia say she didn’t date industry cats cause it was too much drama.
I’m sure its just work. But they do look hot together!

Why everybody gotta be dating because they work well together, it is not official that Common and Kerry are dating it could be just business.

No one said he was dating Lauren London when she did the Driving me Wild video. Leave Common alone I am sure when he decides to date someone it will not be rumored it will be real because he seems to me like a brotha that ain’t shy when it comes to love.

@ @14… I definately agree with you! And know that I’m not a hater, because I am light-skinned. Where are the brown/dark skinned women???

#14 Tina Knowles, I think you’re being very presumptuous about what Common does and does not appreciate in the opposite sex. He sure seemed to appreciate the hell out of Erykah Badu (the love of his life) and the last time I checked she wasn’t light-skinned. So because Alicia Keys is in his video, that means he doesn’t appreciate dark-skinned women? That’s a HUGE stretch. You’re entitled to your opinion, I just don’t see how you came to that conclusion. If you recall his video for the wonderful song “Go,” you will know that Common appreciates women of ALL hues.

@ TinaKnowles
What are you talkin’ about? Common has had women of all shades of brown in his videos.
50.
Huh?
Tuesday, October 16, 2007 /
Erykah Badu isn’t light-skinned?!! Now I’ve heard it all! What is she if not light skinned? Anyway I can’t speak for Common but videos in general don’t appreciate the brown skinned sista but we all new this so NEXT!
Back to the topic. The video looks good. Didn’t know Kerry was getting into directing. Should be interesting.

Nah #50, Badu aint light, not to me. No way, no how. We can agree to disagree.

She’s brown-skinned. She’s about the same complexion as her old beau, Andre 3000. Is he light-skinned too? LOL.

@ Tina Knowles, OBVIOUSLY Kerry Washington, who’s not light skinned, is in his video. Serena freaking Williams is in the video TOO. And like people said, if there’s one artist who shows love to sistas of all shades it definitely has to be Common. In his video for “Testify” TARAJI HENSON was the main character. In “The Light”, Erykah was his love interest. In the video for Retrospect For Life, our beauty queen LAURYN HILL was in there. He was in Floetry’s video “Superstar”, one is light the other - the rapper - is not! And let us not forget that for this new video, not only is Kerry IN the video but also he chose her to direct it, meaning that he’s helping sisters getting more well deserved props as producers and directors knowing how hard it is for black women in all kinds of industry. More power to Common.

This video looks grown, sexy, and classy! I love the song so I can’t wait to see the video. Alicia and Common have great chemistry! I think he did the right thing by putting her in the vid because everyone was buzzing about them from Smoking Aces, so this kinda continues that buzz. Get’s people talking and interested in the music. Everyone is looking good.

I’m so sick of the light skin, dark skin debate… Some folks really need to learn how to love themselves, and stop worrying about other folks! And perhaps, just pehaps Common asked Alicia to be in his video because they are friends? He was on her Unplugged DVD lat year, and maybe now she’s returning the favor? And they were very good together in Smokin’ Aces…. I cant wait to see this vid.

Common seems to be the type to spread love to all shades of black women. His little girl is dark skinned, so why would he diss dark skinned sistahs?
But I do agree most rappers have light skinned or could-be’s (could be this could be that) in their videos. Hell, I’ve been threw with Kanye ever since he said he likes mutts and there wouldn’t be video girls if it weren’t for mixed chicks. I was ike WTF?
But I love me some Common and ya can’t get me to say two bad words about him. I swear don’t let me run into that man, all I can say is it would all go down!!!!!!!

And so what if rappers want light skinned women in videos? Who cares? I am sure that would take someone a far on their admissions packet to Harvard,Yale, Howard, Xavier…….
SMH. Stop beating that dead horse.

Looking forward to the video. I love Finding Forever. Forever begins, So Far To Go and Misunderstood are my jams.
@ #1. You are right, they do have the chemistry. They can make a nice couple if they hooked up. That would be a good look for my dude Common.

LIGHT SKINNED VS DARK SKINNED ARGUMENT = TIRED!!!!!! *snore*
Ya’ll silly for saying that he all up on Alicia and he wants Alicia…blah, blah, blah. Lest you forget, Kerry directed the video! Thus, the treatment was hers. Common and Alicia did as they were told. Common asked Kerry to be in the video and she said, only if I can direct it. They’re the ones feeling one another. Ya’ll must not know Alicia is happily taken anyway. The only reason she’s in the video, besides the fact that they’ve been friends for years, is to give her some face time since she has an album about to drop. Ya’ll certainly don’t think like industry folks do.

I co-sign with #1 the movie is called smoken aces and they looked hot together in that flick, that’s who A.Keys need to be with instead of that made up boyfriend she claims to have. I wont be surprised if they hooked up romantically. there both deep ppls to me. and I doubt he is romantically linked to K.W. she jus single now and is couger hunting for black men, thats why she at his concerts lol
