WOW!!!! King’s Plow is such a great place.
Common – Go video was a good one – I got so many . 2nd would def be de la soul “stakes is high”
Common’s “Come Close”…sweet song paired with some great visuals=definitely a favorite!
I love all these artists. My favorite video/song by Goapele is Closer. I love that song, its so mellow. My fav Common video is “Restropect for Life” with Lauryn; great collab. My fav De La Soul video is “Stakes is High”, these guys talk about real life. Not really sure of any Mick Boogie videos, but I really like his project with Little Brother “And Justus for All”
Common Feat. Lauryn Hill-Retrospect for Life
TOO many favorite de la videos to choose from but DE LA SOUL’S Itzsoweezee (HOT) video’s got the best cameos- lords of the underground, the roots, tribe and the late great guru (rip)
De La and MF DOOM performing “Rock Co Kane Flow” on Last Call w/ Carson Daly. We were watching b/c De La was supposed to be on there, and hadn’t heard the song before. DOOM emerged from the back just in time for his verse. This was when DOOM was in his prime, dropping great albums constantly. Classic video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Q0o_AM2bdI
Favorite videos from -
Common: (featuring Lauryn Hill) “Retrospect for Life,” starring one of my favorite actresses, N’bushe Wright…
Goapele: “Closer” Visually stunning!
De La Soul: “Me, Myself and I.” Just because.
Well there are too many to mention, but i’ll narrow it down to a few.
Common:
“Come Close” ft Mary J. Blige – Sweet lyrics, sweet video. Mary looks great. Simple, understated, but totally relatable. And let’s be honest, what girl doesn’t want to be serenaded under her window?
“Retrospect for Life” ft Lauryn Hill – Honest, sincere lyrics. Once again, totally relatable. Can’t think of a better lyrical duo than Common and the amazing Ms Hill.
“I Used to Love H.E.R. – I’m going to go as far as saying this is the anthem, the best hip hop song of all times. Video shows the evolution of hip hop. Enough said.
De La Soul:
“Oooh!” ft Redman – Have you seen the video? It’s hilarious/crazy/amazing.
“Me Myself and I” – Just in case you haven’t yet perfected “the stance”
Jungle brothers ft De La Soul & Q-tip, “How ya Want it” – Ok so technically, they’re featured but it’s a great song and the video just makes you want to cruise around the block bumpin this song. “So how ya want it? We got it, Oh yeah!”
I would love to be at this concert. Seeing Common live is definitely on the top of the bucket list. De La Soul is on there too.

Days of Our Lives, & Down at the Amphitheatre.. Check the S.T.A.T.S.
I guess I didn’t make the contest very clear. All of these comments will still count, but from now on, start leaving the actual embeded YouTube videos in your comments, like this one:
Common and Blackstar-”Respiration”. Dirty South cant touch this. A true classic from pioneers of the hip hop revolution as we know it today. This track stands up to anything you throw at it…past, present, future. Nuff said!
embed didn’t show up there so heres the link… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUIgLZ0d5-U
one of the greatest videos I’ve ever seen Common in was the Respiration joint with Mos Def and Talib Kweli. he’s so underrated as a lyricist because his content is so conscious all the time.
De La Soul – Breakadawn. it was the first song I had ever heard by them and the video ended up getting me sick on one instance.
Closer by Goapele. no contest.
Awwww shooot. My plans have be thwarted by restrictive access to embedding HTML in comments. It looks like only admins can post video :(
I guess let’s just keep talking about our favorite videos. Links to videos will also be appreciated.
Well I will list exactly what was asked. There are tons of videos I LIKE from these great artist that I love so much. But you asked for FAVORITES!
Common: Be
I Used To Love Her
People
Goapele: Closer ft. Ne-Yo
Mick Boogie: I’ve never seen a video by him. But some of the songs I love are:
Ft. Little Brother- can’t stop us
I wanna go to the concert pleeeease!!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YGlJbfAp7hM
hip hop’s best. peep all the cameos.
Common and Kanye West- The Food (on the Dave Chappelle Show)
This is such a hot track and like most Chappelle performances was very creative in presentation (performed in a kitchen with the DJ on the island stove lol)
http://www.bebo.com/c/video?FlashBoxId=7536026365
Gorillaz feat. De La Soul- Feel Good Inc.
Not explicitly a De La showcase, but it’s an amazing and inventive collaboration and the video is of the highest quality/creativity.

FUCK I <3 DE LA I'm to excited! they where amazing last year.
This song always makes me smile and the lyrics are very true…
"Five days you work
One whole day to play
Come on everybody, wear your rollerskates today" :-)

MY JAM!
The I used to Love Her video is one of my Favorites it was just plain hiphop to the fullest no extra glitz or glamor the things to make you love HipHop. And it showed a great emcee coming into his own.

My selection would be De La Soul’s Potholes In My Lawn
Hit the daisies……
I love the black & white vibe of the video…it reminded me of the summer of 89 when I was kicking with my friends. Girls dancing…doing the Reebok, the DJ’s mixing on the ones & twos…Who stole the cookies from the cookie jar….rocking the slanted high top fades….3 Feet High n Rising…..

Common, “A Dream”… the real story behind this movie is amazing, MLK’s “I Have a Dream” speech, Common, best in hip hop… doesn’t get any better. While I love the older hip hop, this new video has a message that is timeless. That is what we need more of… TIMELESS music! Blessings to all. I want those two tickets! :)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XBa55sDTIiA
My favorite Common Cd of all time is Like Water for Chocolate. “dreamin’ about the thighs of Mary J. Blige, imaginin’ how good the cat must be, lost a little weight, stopped eatin’ meat but I still rap husky” Hahahaha!!! Classic… However…my favorite verse is the one from Respiration by Blackstar!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eeTnog5RRQo
My favorite De La CD still to date is De La Soul Is Dead! Check out this spoof of Bitties in the BK Lounge…
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N8sfdTVCA_A
Too bad De La and Common never made a video for The Bizness off Stakes Is High… “in the best of 3 out of 5, whoop anybodies ass in NBA Live” – Common
I’m from Cleveland, so I’m down with all the Mick Boogie Mix CD’s…. He’s the best thing we got since Lebron left!!!
Hope you liked my videos… Take It Easy!!!
