Figured Drake had put the old head to rest with the Serena shots but here go Common.

One of the best to ever do it, he had been unfairly derailed by every bad Hollywood script thrown his way. Welcome back, Rashid. Listen after the jump.

On this one, Common and Chance add the touches of subtlety and sobriety. Com just needs to rap a little faster so he doesn't give the song such an obvious belly. After the jump.
