Album

The People is a song by American rapper Common, released as the second single of his seventh studio album Finding Forever. It made its first appearance on Kanye West's Can't Tell Me Nothing mixtape. The song features production by West and contains background vocals provided by soul singer Dwele. The original version of the song had Common singing the hook by himself, but this was later replaced with Dwele singing the hook. It contains samples of We Almost Lost Detroit by Gil Scott-Heron as well. The Game is the first single from rapper Common's 2007 album Finding Forever. It is produced by Kanye West, who samples Tezeta by Ethiopian jazz musician Seyfu Yohannes for the track's beat. It utilizes O. s Half Good, Half Sinner to construct one of his signature choruses, which is scratched by DJ Premier. With its hard hitting steel drums, the beat is considered to be a throwback to 90's boom bap hip hop. Music video by Common performing The Game. Can I Borrow A Dollar 2LP7''Nature Sounds. 2-LP.

'The People' is a mellow joint using a number of samples but is mostly driven by the floaty keys taken from the Gil Scott-Heron classic 'We Almost Lost Detroit'. The track is smooth yet heavy and works perfectly as a lead single for 'Finding Forever', however it's the B-side that is the one to bump.

'The Game' is a raw & gritty joint about the hiphop industry with a beat not unlike some of the unsung material before Kanye's big breakthrough. For the hook you have DJ Premier adding some tight cuts and there you have it.

Although this is far from the jawdropping cuts that Common used to deliver back in the day, it's still tight material and stands head over shoulders in a hiphopmarket so diluted, it makes the waters of the Yellow River seem crystal clear.
