The class and beauty of this video is representive of the beautiful soul that you are. Your love for the people is apparent in the quality of your work. When you surround yourself with good people, good things happen. Hopefully, clowns like Micheal Vick and TI get the will the message. When I first heard you say in the song "that I love this way, because I got it as a kid", I was blown away. That is one of the most powerful lyric I've ever heard.

Continued success and much luv!!

I'm loving this video, it shows all of Commons's diverse directions. Keep up the good work. Also many kudo's to Alicia Keys and Kanye West, and the actress
Kerry Washington. This video is HOT!!

The video is very hot. Common always does a great job. Ms. Kerry Washington did a great job directing and staring in the video. All of the cameos were great. As always, Alicia is beautiful.
