"The Game" Video Review

Few things could be more refreshing for the summer than a new single from Common. For those who were hungry for some new stuff after 2005's Be, this single is a tasty appetizer before the main course.

In the space of a three-minute and thirty-one second track, Common rhymes about survival, enlightenment, a Grammy Awards snub, and a chance encounter with Stevie Wonder. No region is excluded as he represents globally and locally: "From Inglewood to a single hood in Botswana...Standing in front of the judge with no honor/I'm about to ignite the people like Obama."

Lyrics on the races' priorities and "the struggle" have the potential to be polarizing and self-righteous. Featuring DJ Premier (scratches). Produced By Kanye West.
