Check out the original video for Common’s “Universal Mind Control” abover directed by Lil’ X. Clearly the label was feeling Hype Williams version better and trashed Lil’ X’s work.

Sure Hype Williams’ piece has way more graphic effects and computer generated knick-knack, but what I like about Lil’ X’s is the dancing component, especially at the end of the video where Common busts out in a lil’ break dance. Maybe if the finalized video had a little bit of both versions, maybe it would’ve received way more music video rotation….I’m just sayin’. But we gotta ask who’s finalized work are you feelin’?!

Next time you see Common chillen’ with his girl Serena, don’t even think of asking for an autograph let alone pass off your latest demo CD.

The hip-hop star was smooching with the statuesque tennis great in Central Park the other day when an aspiring French rapper who drives a pedicab recognized him, cycled after him and tried to slip him a homemade CD. “Yo! I’m outta here!” growled Common, who quickly jumped into a motorized taxi with his Wimbledon-warrior sweetie and zoomed off.

Can we really blame Common for wanting some QT with his girl?…I know I don’t like to bothered when I’m with my boo, even the phone gets no love.

Sidebar: I heart Common but this fragrance move is very cliche.
