MAN LISTEN:

I doubt the Common is dissing anyone in particular. The point of "Dooint" was to dis any and all MC's who are guilty of the things he points out in the track. The fact is, many cats in the industry today do that "hoe shit." That's the problem. He might have had someone in particular in mind while writing the lyrics, but I don't think the goal was to call someone out in particular. For each thing he lists, you can probably name at least 2 artists doing that shit.

And besides, when was the last time you heard Common mince words? As specific as Common usually gets when calling folk out, why would he switch up now?
