VIDEO: COMMON - “UNIVERSAL MIND CONTROL”

Tuesday, October 7, 2008

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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!!

#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?”

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!!

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

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.
