Some feel threatened by Common's lyrics because they are deep. they feel like who wants to listen to some deep shit while you are in a club. Most of them are into Swizz Beatz right now. Drag On's "Niggas Die for Me" and DMX's "Party Up" are getting cccrrrraaaazzzyyyy airplay and look how many curses are in the song. They really aren't rapping about shit, but the track is hot. It's the beat. That what radio stations are looking for. As for MTV, they aren't into playing "deep shit" because it's doesn't fit into their demographics.

Release the shit with the hot beats as radio and video, the MAYBE people will begin to catch on.
