Common featuring Sadat X - 1-9-9-9 Appreciation Thread

[I love Latina women]

classic

the way common use to spit was so effortlessly. it was spoken word; hard, vivid and conscious

sadat x came through and blessed the track and that beat, that beat is just timeless




i always liked how q-tip started off the intro of the song along with the mixin' and scratchin' of the song on the album

Nice ... the b-side was "like they used to say," where the chorus was samples of classic hip-hop lines, right?
