The funny thing is, this video was directed by the same guy who directed Lil Wayne’s “Lollipop,” Gil Green. John Legend and The Roots’ collaborative effort, Wake Up!, drops September 21st.
DOWNLOAD: John Legend & The Roots – Wake Up Everybody f. Common & Melanie Fiona
2 THINGS:
1. Music from the soul/Music with meaning >>>>>>>> Drake
2. Melanie Fiona is BADDDDDDDDDDD

Meka, that really isn’t funny at all. You’re an ass clown. Grammatically speaking, you’re and idiot too.

@pryex “Meka…You’re an ass clown. Grammatically speaking, you’re and idiot too” Sir do you know how dumb you’re sounding, I clocked you going at about 8th grade. You were going way below the read limit, here’s your citation pun: “People who live in glass houses should not throw stones”

@Westie
STFU it’s not Disney shit, it’s songs with positive meanings, would you rather listen to people talk about shooting guns and makin it rain on hoes, if so then you sir are the reason the world isn’t gettin better.
This collabo works perfectly tho I do wish Black Thought put a verse, then the collabo would be fuckin unbelievable.

Wow. Now this was incredible. The video was off the chains and this remake was legit. Common is back on his soulfulness.
That reminds me, I really can’t wait for his upcoming album, which I believe is called “The Believer”.

Honestly this song made me think about how much are minds are alluded by violence & chaos & also that we should appreciate these artists for keeping the peaceful message alive! I am truly inspired. God Bless
