i was about to comment on that, but i see that sonmeone got to it before me. it was in the british mag hip-hop connection about a year ago. <P>according to the mag, comon got served by chester p. hackenbush of the mudd family, and faced with the prospect of defeat, common resorted to taunting chester by saying that he can't rap cos he's white. it caused a lot of controversy among UK fans who wondered whether common was a racist and a sore loser. <P>of course, they didn't print exactly what common said, so i'm not sure if he actually made real racist comments or just said something like "you white boy," which i think would not be unacceptable under battle circumstances, where the mcs comment on each other's appearances. the UK fans eventually forgave common, ithink, but chester p got a big career boost.<P>i'll find that article later today.
