Way back when we posted Common's interview with DJ Semtex, Com spoke of a song inspired by Barack Obama called "Changes." Well what better time than now to put it out. The track is said to appear on Common's Universal Mind Control, out 12/9. D.C. area, see Common tomorrow at Love! Scroll down for details.
Common "Changes"
Shout out to OS for this one.
Gotta love Com Sense, definitely feeling this more than the title track.
Dope track as always from Common mymann.. If anyone wants to see him at Love in D.C. tomorrow email me and i got you in Free!

common always spitting the truth no doubt track is tight no doubt!
This guy is the truth in Hip-Hop. He is an artist! Stay the same way fresh, Com!
damn!!! beautiful!!!!!
I don’t know. This new ish just not grabbing me, and it’s not hating cause i’m a life long Common fan. But if this is what actings doing to the music, then he needs to stop acting, or just stop doing music. Leave on a good note. Not like this.
Dope Joint from Common. Always delivering something special lyrically. I like the soulful feel good vibe of the track as well
Peace…….
Track is dope simply from Com’s truth and authenticity, period. The production genius seems to be missing here though, at least on first listen. Who produced this?
very cool song, better than the commercial crap that he has been doing recently !
Without hating on UMC, I can safely say that this track sounds so much more like a Com Sense song than that. As far as production and lyrical content goes, this is very solid. I hope the album has more of this and less of the title track
Here’s another dope Barack track:

Muhsinah on the hook…..yessurr!!
this is ok.
the the lyrics dont grab u like the best of com’s rappin.
he sounds happy. rap needs angst ,anger,or melancholy.
very few can rap happy.
even hammer was mad i.e. turn this mutha out.
ice cube’s “good day” was at best just mundane.
rapper’ need something to prove he sounds fulfilled.
given the circumstances im not mad at him at all.
OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’d have to agree w/Westsidemoe. I’m not feelin’ this. Common sounds like a big kid in his rap. I like what he’s saying in the lyrics though, now that is truth.
Thank you common. You are my imaginary friend!
I hope this is the last song on the album, and includes another insightful message from his Pops!
Hip-Hop needs anger? I really don’t see how that works.
Any case, I like the song, not feeling the Obama sample at the end though.
If this wasn’t Common it wouldn’t be worth listening to ..He can deliver truth like none..
It’s just good to see how Obama is influencing people.
Some of y’all just don’t get it. This track is sooo Chicago and the Chi really needed some good news right now, what with the Jen Hudson crap and Studs Terkel goin out. This is appropriate.
Obama commemorative album at DaylightOnDemand.org.
“Ice Cube’s good day was at best just mundane”.. wow.. I know this is a Common thread but I can’t get past the foolishness that embodies that comment.
Anyway, Dope song, can’t wait to hear the rest of the album.
That song is big in its message and production! and I’m feeling Muhsinah on the hook. the use of the reverb effect reminds me of LWFC. I need more of that positive energy!
fuck obama
Common is mos definitely dopeestetic fresh
He performed this for the show at LOVE too. Dope and Muhsinah…oh man. She gets it in.
its real positive and i love that. but its water downed common…all this new common is safe sell my shit in starbucks common….but i love the message, obama and common….
Wel, fuck dat dude Usama…u white cocksuckin mo-fo. Barack is the Future!!!! And Common is the dopest.
Feel good hip-hop right here. This made my day a little brighter.
agreed with lime oner…a lil water down to sell to the kids or who ever they are trying to sell too….but it still has message…so i wont be a whiner…
PEACE,FROM THE BAY!
