Much as I fully embrace old-school "Respiration"-era Common, and boho/ Bob Dylan/ not-afraid-to-love-out-loud "Come Close" Common, and socially conscious/pensive "Drivin' Me Wild" Common and all the Commons in between, it's nice to see the dude dish out a hot-ass, swagger-centric booty-dropper, like the Neptunes-produced "Universal Mind Control."
Unless you have a fear of robots (that's Pharrell, by the way, who you'll also see in Fall Out Boy's "I Don't Care" video) watch the new video, directed (somewhat obviously, no?), by the legendary Hype Williams -- which is exactly why the video will remind you a bit of Lloyd's "Girls Around the World" clip and Kanye's "Stronger."
