Track Review: Common - "The People" feat. Dwele (prod. Kanye West)
I like it. I really like it. In fact, when I first heard "The People" I was filled with memories of summer, which made me drop everything I was doing and wish summer was here already. The track is uptempo but laid back; the synths are warm but the song remains cool. And Common drops line after line of goodness that eases my fear of his decline. It is impossible not to love a line like "The people/Said that I was sharp on TV/At the Grammys/Yo they tried to India.Arie me/Got backstage and bumped into Stevie/He said no matter what/The people gon' see me."
I'm hoping once July 10 rolls around, there will be more of this.
