To the last reply, I think Common deserve's any type of success. I believe that all those trendy ass poser's who hear it will be wearing his t-shirts and will say "have you heard this new guy Common?" that kind of shit i've seen too many times, and I hate it. So maybe you need to see this type of scenario yourself to really understand whatI mean. These asshole's don't even hear those amazing lyric's that Common invest his soul into and those lyric's I hear and appreciate and love. I can't stand to see an artist not be appreciated. That's why there's this thing called underground music kiddie's= no sell out's! peace.
