Check out the new video from Common featuring Pharrell Williams for his first single, “Universal Mind Control.” The new album, Invincible Summer was schedule to release in June, but now is slated for release November 11th.

The video was shot last month in Hawaii and is very simplistic, showing only Kanye and a tribe.

  6. the_one_AND ONLY ONE

    Shouldn’t he change the title if its coming out in Nov. instead of June, the Invincible, instead of Invincible Summer, I’m just saying.

  7. OBAMA08

  8. the_one_AND ONLY ONE

  10. GLAD-IM-NO-HATER

    LOVE,LOVE,LOVE THE VIDEO,LYRICS,MUSIC AND BEAT!!! DEF WILL BUY HIS ALBUM. COMMON IS SEXY AND ALWAYS PUTS OUT FRESH MUSIC. HAS THE OLD SKOOL HIP HOP FEEL WHICH I APPRECIATE MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE.

  11. word on da street

    10 I agree it has that old skool feel but modern love it

    Common to me is the best rapper that tells the story with his hands I love it!!!

  12. mybusinessnotyours

    lol I’M BOUT TO SEE THEM BOTH IN CONCERT

    pharrell without the robot helmet of course lol..man that ish is still kinda creepy lol

    i can’t wait to hear the new stuff from coommons upcoming album LIVE…heck yeah!!!

  13. *Sigh*

    The video is very creative & different for Common. I’m not sure about the song tho. It sounds way too pop. I miss the ole skool Common, all this techno bubble gum beats is dominating too much of the R&B/Neo Soul songs.

  14. Dame(Bee, Ye and Jay Oh My)

    I love it very good video Common keep doing your thing

  15. KSH

    I really like this song. The beat is cool, the flow is always on point when Common is delivering it – and it sounds like some nice old school break dance jawn! Me likey!

  16. Woop... I hate haters, does that make me a hater..?

    such a choon. And the video is so cold. good job Hype Williams… i think

  17. Umi

    I’m usually down with whatever Common puts out, but I ain’t really know how to handle this here song… And the video is just crazy, but nice to see something other than booty!LOL

    Maybe it’ll grow on me, but either way I like Announcement- that’s a cool song!
    And oh yeah, he can definately get it any day, he real fine…

    @ 3, you gon’ have to fight me down the alter- cause he gon’ marry me!LMAO

  18. nevacontent

    The video is good. Glad Pharell was not in it. The song kind of reminds me of Afrikabambatta. Common is so fine.

  19. * GIFT FROM A VIRGO *

    This video made me day… Common looks so dime in it….

  20. M.Love

    Common CAN GET IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  21. mybusinessnotyours

    lol @ “pharrell not in it”

    he is in it

    that’s his tattoed neck coming from the robots head
    lol..his face ain’t in it..but his body, his antics, and his performance is in it…he just has a robot helmet on…probably a green screen type helmet so they could digitally make his head a robot.

  22. YOUNG HOLLYWOOD

    Love the song and Love him!!

  23. CahniMeals

    This is one of my favorite work out songs..OMG…been playing it all summer!!

  24. kevin morosky

  25. dee dee

    I like it, the rappin’ robot cracks me up.

  26. Lemarac_qt7

    I love this song, makes me want to just * starts pop locking* I love Common * drops down and does footwork* I love the video to * back spins into a freeze* LOL

  27. mayne

    This track reminds of that old Africabombata track back in that day.

    Of course Common rip it to shreads.

  28. Willemijn

    Why the hell is pharrell’s sexy head covered?! I do like the song though

  29. D*DUB

    Love is fine ass soooo much…damn, damn, damn James! He can rap the alphabet and I would love it. Loves him, just LOVES him, DID I SAY I LOVE HIM?

  30. memememe

    Not sure I can get into/believe this song coming from Common. Im all for trying new things (Loved Electric Circus) but I dont believe it coming from him. I could see Andre 3000 killing this tho.

    Common looking like a reincarnated liteskin Issac Hayes for reayuh!!

  31. cali panamami

    #18: pharrell is in the video. that robot head is attached to his lil scrawny body. lmao

    i like the song…very afrika bambaata-esque. but with the neptunes doing most of the production, i’m curious on the outcome. hope he delivers…cuz i’ve been down with common since “can i borrow a dollar?”

  32. Toons

    Dope video. Not feeling the song or the lyrics.

    Kanye and a tribe. Isn’t that “Love Lockdown”? Wrong video Brian.

  33. summer

    The name of Common’s new Album is called Universal Mind Control.
    Kayne is not in the Video. Pharell is the robot.
    The video was shot in Tokyo!!! Not Hawaii!
    Concrete Loop u guys usually have your info right but u guys are way off with this one…. Nothing u guys wrote was correct!!

  34. shawtybadd

    cosign to #35!! yeah CL ur WAY OFF on this one.. I love this song! Makes u wanna dance :) Pharrell is producing the whole album..

  35. Julez

    Concreteloop- the info on Kanye and a tribe seems to be a reference to the Love Lockdown video, I think you guys got slightly mixed up.

    Keep up the nice work tho. CL baby

  36. stark-vegas

    i like it. but why do i feel he sold out just a lil? it almost doesn’t sound like something common would put out, but hey, im all for change though! YES WE CAN common!

  37. Richaay

    Lol kanye and a tribe… wrong video. :P

    cool vid

  38. CAREN

    the video is kool…common is always good to watch!

  39. LOL

    lol Brian “only Kanye and a tribe”??? was that commentary meant for kanye’s love lockdown video perhaps?

  40. Dame

    “The video was shot last month in Hawaii and is very simplistic, showing only Kanye and a tribe.:

    typo???

  41. Allen_J

    Honestly I like the song and beat he should’ve had some fresh dancers in it like O or one of the groups from mtv

  42. CrayonGirl

    SO Fricken HOT – Luv his swagger.

    wow – Pharrell eyes are so Red. ((LoL))

  43. Theworldwillendin2012

    Love the vid, & song too:)

  44. angelita

    Love Common Long Time!!!
    Really feeling this track and the video! So glad this was not your typical booty shaking video.

    Common has done it again!

  45. ms mac

    I think it’s dope.

  46. Tia

    Yep Common has officially sold out… I don’t like this song at all, and I know I heard parts of this beat somewhere before.

  47. Natey Dynamite

    This joint really makes me want to see them tomorrow in concert.

    I didn’t get the reference till the second verse but Common gets part of his flow from Gil Scott Heron’s – No Knock. That alone made me dig the joint.
