I hit up Kanye & asked him if he had the a cappella files for this (which wasn’t out at the time). He gave me the files without hesitation. I turned over this remix rather fast but never finished it because I couldn’t come up with a hook for it. I played it for Kanye & he liked this a lot. So much, in fact, that he was going to reach out to Brandy to lay a hook down on this. Unfortunately, for me, Common didn’t feel this half as much as ‘ye did.

I understand why Common passed. Its aiiiiiiiight
the other one was the weak link of “be”
The remix was decent, but certainly not touching the original. I wouldn’t have minded hearing Brandy on it though. I hope Kanye and her collab again sometime in the near future.
the beats cool n since i guess it was rushed the vocals dont ride right with it. funny enuff i listened to this today on 88keys blog. i thought cool story. but beat. meh.
orginal better …common fell off some time ago
Here we go with this “Common fell off” ish again. Does anyone think before they type nowadays?

hahaha, Common has fell off. real talk. and i actually like this better than the original….just my opinion tho, not hating
this is old as hell man, 88 posted this like a month ago…
cant wait for THe Beliver
check our http://ineedm0ney.wordpress.com
vocals ride perfectly. i think this is dope. not beating the original, but a worthy challenger (if he had a dope hook.)
DOPE but not better than the original
@Common Falling Off Comments:
Anyone of talent has fallen off nowadays, simply because no one wants good music these days. They want garbage.
I get why Common passed on this, it’s… meh.
lol, Common falling off… he releases one experimental album and dope verses inbetween then from now and people still hate. No one stays satisfied, damn.
this is better than the original (in my opinion). something’s missing tho… other than a hook. the original beat was annoying as hell.
Nahh common aint fell of. Finding forever (a classic) was only 2007 and UMC was done in 2008 he was just tryin to sound original. but yeah finding forever wasnt that far long ago people. hes still (2) dope.
“Here we go with this “Common fell off” ish again. Does anyone think before they type nowadays?”
