Common- Geto Heaven featuring D'Angelo

[@omararcher1531]

This is the best version of this song. The other version just doesn't compare. I've been listening to this joint since the album first came out and I can feel this song in my soul.

[@JDilla2285]

I agree I just heard this version last month and fell in love with it instantly

[@davis6142]

The other version is not even close

[@mrdjmajid]

One of my favourite tunes from 90s & 00 era

[@TheRealLeonardWashington]

I always hated how streaming services like Tidal and Apple don’t have this version. Always thought this was better than Part 2 with Macy Gray. Thanks for uploading this

[@TheBlackAbstract]

Nah pt 2 smokes this

[@TheRealLeonardWashington]

@@TheBlackAbstract you bugging… hard

[@robertwanalo3545]

I prefer this version too.

[@qdiesl]

This original version was on the album at first but then Dangelo and Common had a falling out which made Common take him off and put Macy Gray on with a different beat.

This was originally going to be on "Voodoo" but D traded Quest "Chicken Grease" (which was originally going to be on LWFC) for this one. That whole run of albums the Soulquarians did was just magic captured in the studio. Absolutely incredible stuff.
