Common - Star 69

Absolutely wank except for the last minute which is very Revolution-esque.

Star 69 is on Common's excellent new lp

How can you say that song is shit?
The whole album is blinding! Star 69 is not the album's best moment, but it's still a strong tune.

You're right, The last minute shows prince's influence on the track.

Wank is bad dear.

Wank is slang for masturbation.

Quite frankly, this song sucks! It's completely unimpressive. A combo like Common, Bilal and Prince and this is all they can come up with? It's a piece of shit.

And yeah, I like the ending but that's it.

Doesn't Prince just feature on the ending, and that's it?

The album credits Prince with Keyboard and guitar. Just to make sure I hated this song, I listend to it right now. Yup, it sucks.

Now if the song centered on the cool ass vibe of the ending and went from there, we'd have a whole different story.

And maybe I'm losing my hearing but I can't hear a guitar in this song anywhere...

The best song IMO on this album is Jimi was a Rockstar. That song kicks ass!

I know. But the liner notes also credit James Poyser with keyboards, and the way either Common or James Poyser has told the story about the visit to Paisley Park, it comes across as if a song was already in the can, but they didn't know what to expect when they arrived there. I suspect the first 5 minutes or so you here is the original cut, and the coda is Prince on keyboards and guitar (as in bass guitar!) - but who's to say?

Could also be I think that whoever else worked on the track has added the coda to the song as a hommage to Prince.

I love the groove of that cut. It's not a masterpiece (the last track, Heaven, is also very Princely) but it is a worthy groove.

Im gonna have to get this "COMMON"s cd this one and the other and C what his spirit is doing...

This man is willing to do the work...

I know I saw Eryka Badu (sorry if the names are wrong I am not very well with names)...how graceful and beautiful...she is live.

And I think Common was there...I just didnt know who he was...funny how if U take the media away everybody BLENDS...very nicely at the PARK. TALENT AND SPIRIT never needs the MEDIA but the MEDIA sure needs TALENT AND SPIRIT...ever notice that?
