Mike Dreams Resident DJ Total Ratings: 2075	Rating:          Mike Dreams's Top Rated Songs This is super hot! I'm glad this is a new single being dropped! A good reprise 8 years after the epic original. Common is still reppin for the real words, poetry and hip hop!

Rating:          Obecalp's Top Rated Songs Bloody amazing track, Common is truly great (then and now!). Love the feel of the song, fresh twist to something old school. Is that the same Marsha from Floetry? Cause it sounds A LOT like her, and it works so well with this track. Although I'm not a big fan of the whole ad campaign musical collabs, this resultant track was quite a surprise for me (usually the ad campaign tracks are far from stellar).

Rating:          JORDAN HUNG's Top Rated Songs The original version of "The Light" off "Like Water For Chocolate" is not only one of the greatest hip-hop love songs ever written, but arguable one of the best hip-hop songs period. Personally, it is one of my favorite records of all-time and I really didn't expect the re-make to be this OUT OF THIS WORLD. Common's ability to spit about love has proven to be his greatest subject matter with the right production. Just Blaze, Marsha, and Bilal compliment Common so well that you can't help to have this song on repeat! Wow. Common better include this as a bonus/hidden track on "The Believer." R.I.P. Jay Dee

Rating:          FredRico's Top Rated Songs Common is a paradox: one of those uncommon rappers I can talk about with people that don’t even like hip hop, you know, he makes the finest songs (lyrics), almost anybody can relate to! And then the beat here is amazing, I love how it grabs on 0:32/1:38, and slows down as well. Love the piano, the bass, the guitar, the drums, the violin… how many rap songs are there that you can you even talk about these instruments?! Can’t forget to mention the hook is superbly done. Smirnoff Signature Mix Series is a great initiative, can’t wait for the Q-Tip and Cool & Dre track.

DJ Qurlz DJ Booth Member   Total Ratings: 37

Rating:          DJ Qurlz's Top Rated Songs This is a great addition to The Light series. All three have had amazing production, but have all been very different. The original had a great sample by Bobby Caldwell. I would have to say my favorite was the remix off with Erykah Badu off the Bamboozled soundtrack. The best part of this song are references to rhymes in the original. Common is one of the greatest to ever bless the mic. Pick up his second album Resurrection if you don't already have it and you will understand what I mean. This song is just so damn soulful it can't be considered anything but classic.

If everyone wanted to re-do their best songs then everyone would like those also. I mean this is decent, but not very original if you ask me. But I will admit common is one of the best out their lyrically.
