<BR>>I live just outside of Chicago and <BR>>am one of Common's biggest, however <BR>>white, fans. That being said I <BR>>have to ask about the new <BR>>cover. Is hip-hop the "water" spewing <BR>>from the "colored only" fountain, of <BR>>which us whites should not drink? <P>Thing spewing is GARBAGE on this post<P>>Or is it a simple reminder <BR>>of how things used to be. <BR>>What year is that picture from? <BR>>The 50s or 60s? What year <BR>>is it now? Okay, just checking. <BR>>I have no problem with the <BR>>pro-blackness Common has displayed in his <BR>>lyrics in the past and have <BR>>come to expect it in the <BR>>future. I shouldn't, and don't see <BR>>any fault in that. However, I <BR>>draw the line when I see/hear <BR>>anti-white propaganda. How or why would <BR>>any hip-hop artist want to insult <BR>>the demographic which keeps them in <BR>>bizness anyway? That of course being <BR>>young white males. <P>Just to clarify the only people you keep in this business are DMX and Jigga. While some white peeps will buy Common, 90% of white males wont, under any circumstances. And you say it yourself... Why would he want to insult ANY WIDE GROUP OF PEOPLE? He doesnt. So take your fuckin supersensitive ass and go rent Roots, or Mississipi Burning, The Long Walk Home, Four Little Girls, or Mi Familia, and see at least superficially, what its like to be OPPRESSED and INSULTED as a group.<P>I love people <BR>>and I love Common, and I <BR>>wonder if my $13 would be <BR>>better spent elsewhere come March 28th. <BR>>Common comes across as a religious <BR>>and intelligent man and I would <BR>>like to think he doesn't hate <BR>>an entire race because of the <BR>>past or because a small percentage <BR>>of them might hate him for <BR>>the wrong reasons. I've seen <BR>>him in concert 3 times(once with <BR>>The Roots) and he's talked about <BR>>how it's good that hip-hop can <BR>>bring so many different people together <BR>>peacfully. Is that just BS or <BR>>what? I hope I'm wrong about <BR>>the cover and Mr. Lynn has <BR>>another meaning behind the use of <BR>>that picture. Also, is No I.D. <BR>>producing any of the tracks on <BR>>the new one? I sure hope <BR>>so! Besides isn't Jay Dee partially <BR>>responsible for the mostly bland music <BR>>on ATCQ's last 2 LPs? <P>LoL.. dont even get me started here.<BR>Bottom <BR>>line, one has to wonder if <BR>>Common really did lose his sense?... <BR>>People, please reply. Maybe even Mr. <BR>>Lynn himself could drop me an <BR>>encouraging note. Thank you. <P><BR>I fuckin hate.... HATE when people put shit on here to goad a response from an artist. ("??? for Common...." "Please please Mr. Lynn drop me a line?") CALLATE LA BOCA!!!!!! Carajo.....<P><BR>oneLOVE.<P>OkayBoricua known as... Mil<P><BR>"I effin LOVE this song!"-Nikki (Asialove)<BR>"I give a fuck about who’s suckin’ the president’s dick / I wanna know why my people form habits they can’t kick..."-Xzibit<BR>"Sorry, Deion, but Im gonna have to see some ID."-Mos Def<BR>"oh well. i'm still funky. bust that."-qoolquest <BR>"Youre pretty confident... For a million dollars.... Is that your final answer?"-Regis Philbin
