Nah, he's not sponsored, he just did a collaboration using his song. "G" did mention in a recent video that JB did designs or collaborations withNelly, Fat Joe, and were expanding to doing skateboarding and looked into signing Stevie Wiliams on a side note

Great video. It's basically a commercial for Jordan Brand. Loved it since the first time I saw it, and yeah, it's several years old. Great song, greatvideo.

Probably the best intro to a hip-hop song of all time (bass guitar, keyboard, piano, horns and strings combined perfectly)

This song is waaay old, but I still bump it on the regular. It's from his album BE, there is no story in particular, just a cool song JB decided to use.It's never really been used as a commercial. It is actually a video with the JB athletes in it. The only time I've seen it was on BET's countdownon 106 and Park.....

Yeah, I'm a long time Common fan but that was pretty shameless. Granted music videos are nothing but commercials for albums to begin with, but it's aslippery slope when we're talking about the integrity of one's art. He does a lot of commercials, but to convert your music video into an ad is prettytacky. They practically drew a jumpman on his forehead in that video. You don't go a quarter of a second without a jordan logo on screen.
Sharp eyed readers will remember the accompanying photoshoot for the print ads included those now infamous fake white/blue IIIs.
Common's had ties with Jordan brand for awhile now. He thanked Erin Patton of Jordan brand in the liner notes for Like Water for Chocolate. They modifiedsome AJ XIV leather jackets for his tour that year.
You know, those were JumpmanSt's AJ 1s they used in that video, by the way.

that music video was shortened as a commerical to begin with, then when da song became a single, was released in its original form.
