If you read in a couple of past articles, Common stayed waiting on No I.D. who would show up at least six hours late to a recording session, and being one of those short fused artist I can see the frustration. Also I think of Tha Chi as a second home for me, cause D.C. got some kinda soulful link with ya'll, we talk the same and sometimes carry shit the same. When I was there and asking niggaz about Common, they was supporting the Brat MORE than they were SUPPORTING Com Sense. Dare I say it, they even was supporting CRUCIAL CONFLICT more than Rashid. So why should a brother stay around that bullshit when HIS hometown aint even on him like that? Did you get a peep at Rap City's profile on Chicago, NOBODY said a damn thing about Common, and one of them even went as far as to say he sound like them NEW YORK niggaz. Check ya archives.
