"Soul by the Pound" is the third single from rapper Common's 1992 debut album, "Can I Borrow a Dollar?". Its beat, produced by Immenslope, is similar to much production from Common's second album, "Resurrection".cite web | last = Jost | first = Matt | url = http://rapreviews.com/archive/BTTL_borrowadollar.html | title = Can I Borrow a Dollar? Review at RapReviews.com | format = | work = | publisher = | accessdate = March 24 | accessyear = 2007] Its beat contains samples from "I Like It" by DeBarge and "Sneakin' in the Back" by Tom Scott. It is considered to be a "black solidarity" track, but has been attacked for its misogyny.cite web | last = Jost | first = Matt | url = http://rapreviews.com/archive/BTTL_borrowadollar.html | title = Can I Borrow a Dollar? Review at RapReviews.com | format = | work = | publisher = | accessdate = March 24 | accessyear = 2007] Its chorus contains a sample from Tim Dog's verse on "A Chorus Line" by Ultramagnetic MCs. A music video was made for the "Thump Mix" version of this song, but not for the album version. The chorus of "Thump Mix" contains vocal samples from Q-Tip's verse in "Jazz (We've Got)" by A Tribe Called Quest, Redman's in "Tonight's Da Night" and Grand Puba's in "Check It Out." The "Thump Mix" can be found on the Guidance Recordings compilation album "2001: A Rhyme Odyssey".
