    A. Why is Damien hating on Hillary Swank?
    B. Doing an ad for Gap (that ironically sounds better than 99% of current hip-hop) is not selling out.
    C. Big ups to Illmatic620…speaking the truth.

    This is one of my favorite songs of ’06 and the video is great too….quit hating…

    I like how MLK is saying, “I HAVE a dream,” yet Will.I.Am is saying, “I GOT a dream.” He hears MLK saying it properly, yet he can’t even step up his intelligence and speak proper English? Pathetic.

    And since we’re on the subject of Common selling out, don’t forget BEP’s record label wanted them to get a female singer so they’d have more commercial appeal and they went right along with it.

    BTW, Commom isn’t a sellout. Show me where he compromised his intengrity as an artist. Being in a Gap ad does not automatically make on a sellout.

    What is your point, you should be praising him for expanding the culture into other endeavors. Common has always seperated his style and music from everyone else.

    I remember first hearing this song, Common still has it.

    Well I am a Black teacher and if I have to see one more dumb movie about a white teacher “saving” these poor black Negroes I am going to scream!! Common was not very “conscious” on this one. I swear over 80% of white teachers live in the white suburbs and work in the city. Their tax dollars support their schools systems. How many damn Dangerous Minds can they make?

    ^^Coach Carter. Not a teacher exactly, but close enough.

    Don’t like movies about white teachers “saving” black kids? Vote with your dollars. Oh but then, you probably passed on Coach Carter, so there goes that idea.

    To befree1619 – it’s unfair that you are writing the movie off without seeing it. I read the book and it is not another Dangerous Minds. I love the song and the video.
