11257, Common & homophobia question
Posted by TotalRequestloveLive, Sat Apr-06-02 12:26 PM
Okay, I know this is a dead topic, but nothing else going on now. Why was/is Common targeted as being homophobic for a few lines. Obviously it has to do with him being a “conscious” artists. But heres the question. The Roots, Mos Def, Goodie Mob (obviously), etc etc, all similar artists have said similar things and aren’t targeted like common was. (maybe Goodie might have caught as much hell as common but that’s is) So why is Common targeted, and do you think he’ll put forth effort on furure work to avoid the ‘homophobia’

Peace,
