"The People" Video Review

"The People" is the first single from rapper Common's 2007 album Finding Forever. It features a chorus sung by soul singer Dwele and production by Kanye West. For the track's beat, West samples vocals from "Long Red" by Mountain just as J Dilla did on De La Soul's "Verbal Clap." This action is part of Kanye's plan to tribute his productions to the late J Dilla on Finding Forever. West also samples "We Almost Lost Detroit" by Gil Scott-Heron and Brian Jackson for the track's beat. The song also makes an appearance the on the Kanye West Can't Tell Me Nothing mixtape.
