The video treatment for "I Want You" by Common was released last night on MTV as their Jam of the Week. Look out for cameos by Kerry Washington, Serena Williams, Derek Luke, Kanye West and Alicia Keys. As reported on earlier here, "I Want You" marks the first music video Kerry Washington directed. Common has said he always wanted to work with his rumored-to-be girlfriend Kerry but their conflicting schedules never let up until now. "I Want You" is inspired by the 1986 Mickey Rourke/Kim Basinger erotic classic "9 1/2 Weeks" which has Alicia and Common starring as reunited lovers.
