Forgot about this track. When it was released it was rumored to be about DMX "These hollering gruntin' nikkas" and "Back to back LPs that sound the same." X had put out his first 2 albums in 1 year. Could be a reach though, who knows.

Nah...most of the bars don't relate to DMX...
It could've possibly been to Jay-Z
10 years ago you had a high top trying to be like Kane....
Song was released in 2000 & this pic is from 1990 if I'm not mistaken correctly
Jiggy shyt is over....
Jiggy a play on with Jigga, maybe?
Back to back LP's that sound the same, I surround the game
Vol.1 & vol.2 was released within a year of each other
This could easily been a reach too...

I think he threw a couple disses Puff’s way
He wasn’t dissing Jay Z smh. Common has been cool with Jay. He was definitely throwing shots at DMX and Puffy. Had the X cats out like a Muslim line in there too.
It wasn’t no beef. Common was taking shots at mainstream rap and threw some slugs their way.

I think Questlove mentioned this in his list of Dilla moments, I believed he was challenged to flip the Rick James record

He does it seems. I have no idea if he was but I always theorized Common was going @ Nas on Kanye's Get Em' High. Kinda payback for when Nas was dissing Neosoul generally and called the Roots porch monkeys. Just something I thought at the time.
great, wouldnt say hes the greatest but still...can you imagine asking him wth made you come up with that? and he just goes...
thats all i had
1986

I always felt he went at the rap game as a whole on this track, no specific rapper but more so the standards and images that were being pushed at that time.
when did nas call the roots porch monkeys...i forgot about that
