B!tch..So when someone tells the truth about an artist you people dickride it's called "hating" now? Common is a sellout. He sould out the city that put him on the map and that he used to rep. He sold out his original fanbase. And most of all he old out his manhood--he's a b!tch now. Have you seen the guy lately. I'm ashamed that I used to put n!ggas out to his music.

Fukk you and fukk Fort Greene. Because Common stays down in Fort Green don't make him any less of a b!tch. Moreover, y'all brooklyn n!ggas is scared to come out to Queens.

>keep posting you
>closet Roots fan.
B!tch..I'm a fan of music not the artists.

I grew up in Queens, a stones throw away from the forties. I live in BK, Bed-Stuy now. BK is better. Leave BK alone. Queens heads still can't believe what a nice block I live on with a whole bunch of nice Black people.
Common is in a grassroots area that is experiencing a gentrificattion (I hope I spelled that right) crisis. Leave him alone. One more positive brotha in the hood can only help.

Besides if he's such a faggot, ain't you glad he's not in Chicago anymore?

Well foreign friend let me bring you up to speed.
Common's been living in NY for a few YEARS now.
Common is not a nigga, he's an okayplayer artist.
Common is engaged to Erykah Badu, so he's not gay.

But what the fuck would you know, you named yourself after the new millennium slave.

For real...even though madd heads support Com in the Chicago's underground scene. He never got the props he deserves. In many ways you could say Chicago sold out Com. But I do wish he did some colabs with more Chi emcees...I want to see a Capitol D and Com joint.

Before the last joint, Like Water for Chocolate, Com used to rock your common (no pun intended) street gear. I actually bumped into Sun at that veggie spot on 87th (Chicago) and I really tripped off his 'fits b/c Sun was straight vintage (but in a strange way). I talked to him for a sec and he was really peace, but his style is definitely no longer representative of the common Chicagoan from the Southside. He reps in his rhymes, no doubt, but dude has gone thru a bugged-out transformation...and that's cool with me too, I just hope Sun doesn't end up taking it to Andre3000 heights...

i know you just want attention... but he came last year here to my old highschool, breakdanced, answered questions, broke down some of his raps, read some poetry from his book... watched some local performers and recently spoke at a college here. He gets paid for these but he still takes the time and does it.

also many of his songs he refers to the chi(only chi residents would know this sir)

he still reps chicago in many of his rhymes is what im trying to say and his family is here(i met his mom)

why is moving to another city considered selling out? guess when he became known he signed a life contract to live in Chicago? nothing wrong with wanting to see other spots. if i had madd loot i prolly would bounce every three years just to see how life is in other areas. fuck...common can move to East BubbleFuck, Alaska...as long as he stays tru to self he aiight with me...

Common moving to NY was biness move. He lived in Chi for 3 albums that sold a few hundred thousand units. He went to NY and linked with De La,Roots,Black Star, and MCA records. He's almost platinum now. It was a biness move. He got down with Guru,Slick Rick, Beatnuts, Funk Flex, Pete Rock and a few other cats. It's called networking my friend. Here in Chi we don't have the vehicles to network with power people like a NY or a LA. For that matter we don't have the juice of an ATL. One day we will. I still got love for Common. I got love for NO I.D. and Dug Infinite too, but leaving them behind was Common's best move.

Dog, on some real shit, you are mad Jo (Philly term: on somedody's dick so hard you're gagging on that shit). First of all, how are you going to say that Common sold out Chicago? I'm not even from there and I know he reps Chi-Town on the regular? His relocation does not justify your comments either because people move all the time for various reasons and Com obviously needed to go to NY to handle his business as far as the industry is concerned. So, I wonder what your beef really is? Did you try to get his autograph and he dissed you or something? Did you want to be on the Spitkickers Tour? Imma need you to stop creating this innacurate notion of Com. I am also going to need you to stop hatin on the next man because he's trying to step his game up, and make himself international (versus confining himself to Chicago). Whether you like it or not, NY is the center of the industry and to make your mark, you have to hit it up. So, Imma need you to find some other talents besides felacio. Go write a rhyme or something.

people don't understand this n!gga called BootenLee...i don't know you, but i know where you're comin from...

keep it real, that's what this culture is about....

you have your opinions, you come on this board and you tell it like it is....sometimes you go a little too far, trying to push people's buttons, but i know why you do it...

you know you can come on this board and go to the extreme with your opinion because there are a lot of people on here who blindly follow the "majority opinion"...aka - dickride... (be it the opinion/dick of an artist like ?uest or the opinion of a "regular Okayplayer" who's on the boards a lot)....there's some truth to what he says y'all and you know it....

common left chicago, the city that put him on....in hip hop culture that's wack....you rep the city that supported you when you weren't shit, when you were at the open mics, the city that went and bought your first album just 'cause you were from where they're from....

i don't agree with most of your opinions...i don't think common is gay, acting gay or even heading in that direction...i can understand the city of chicago's beef with common moving to new york, but guess what...that's his bidness and you and the rest of chi-town should have his back....he is your brethren and he's tryin to do his thing....don't close him in or he'll end up someone you aren't proud to have rep your city and he won't have no love for y'all neither....'cause anyone that really knows, knows that common reps chicago for life...no matter where he rests his head...

new york knows they can't claim him..he's from chicago.

so don't let the okayhaters keep you from doin your thang, but keep it real dogg cause when you don't, that's when you sound like a hater yourself....

hip hop isn't ever gonna be what it was...shit is universal now...so cats are gonna move around and change and experment with shit that none of us are gonna like if we expect it to be what it was.....we just gotta let it be what it's gonna be or it will die on the vine....

but your shit is hilarious....so fuck it, right?

"If you stay ready, you ain't got to get ready." -Suga Free

the reason com moved to brooklyn was cuz
1. chicago has never really shown love to the underground, ESPECIALLY the radio stations. the only exception to that is Mike Love N Diz. but even that is only two nights a week.

2. the costs for flying out to the east coast to record was getting astounding (most of the contiributing factors were residing on the east coast.

3.NY is the mecca of hip hop. so why not move therte? ya gotta go where the money and support are at nawmean?

but then again, you're to shallow minded to look past the end of ya nose to see what'z really goin on.

>chicago has never really shown love to the underground
please don't single out chicago. i mean, other than on college radio, does any city?

i don't think he sold for moving to brooklyn, because if i could live there for a few years i would. he's never stopped claiming chicago, so he's cool with me. still, i keep thinking of this line:

"sometimes i contemplate moving to a warmer place, then the lake and skyline, give me a warm embrace"...... (not that new york is warm, but what happened to chicago's warm embrace?).

I believe he is talking about Lake Michigan and the Chicago skyline in downtown Chicago.

that's what i mean. why did the chicago skyline not keep him from moving this time?

Naw man i mean chicago as a whole. the whole scene out here (unless it'z the die hard ones) is just nonsupportive. you have the occasional venue that will support the underground like subterrenean, joes night club on weed st. but that's as far as it goes. HOB does NOT and has publicly stated it has no interest in an act unless they have some kind of rapport behind em. other than the busta rhymes and the jill scotts, they want no part of it. why is it a person is able to call joes, or subterrenean, offer to open for an act with a 20 or 30 minute set for free or damn near free and it happens, but you call HOB and they shit on you? cuz it'z about money, simple and plain. that is why it is so hard to make it out here in chicago, unless you know people in high places, AND it just so happens that they are out of state. now i realize that chicago hasn't really blown up on the scene yet (keyword being YET). why do you think com, da brat, do or die, and any other act from chicago (besides r.kelly) have gotten up N left chicago? cuz there is no support out here!!! why do you think the boycott happened in the 1st place? the only thing we had goin for us was 106 jamz, and how many years ago was it that they shut down? mufuggaz think com left just cuz? come on now get real, the man had to make some moves if he was gonna get fed, and obviously it wasn't happening out here. i give him his props for doin what he had to do. he STILL reps chicago in his writing, and he still does what com does. most of the shyt he says only chicago heads would know about. anyway that's vearing off of what the subject was. the point i'm trying to get at is, chicago doesn't support they own like other cities show support. i've been to many shows with underground talent and i've seen some dope emcees but the crowd just stands there KNOWIN that they feel the music but don't want to move to it cuz they afraid someone might be lookin. and the only time they DO move is when they hear some commercial jointz bein thrown on the tables. i've seen it in other cities too, but chicago is the WORST. i live here so i know what they hell it'z like in the clubs. anyway, i've spoken my piece, if anyone wants to discuss this further, feel free. i'm always down for a debate.

peace

hey, i'm not disagreeing. i feel you 110%. i've seen how cats act out here at shows, etc. you've got to fight them to get them to move. i think the sad fact is that we have hip hop heads out here, but 80% of the people in our city are into WGCI & 106.3 and that's it, OR they are into nuthin' but that thug-thug-thug crap. i hate to say it but i think the youth in chicago, (i can't speak for any other town) has a twisted sense of what music is. maybe i'm wrong, but i'm tired of arguing with inner city teens about what's dope and what ain't so dope. maybe that's my age starting to show. i don't blame common for moving, but as long as he keeps reppin' for the true heads still in chicago, he's cool with me.

i think i know the reasdon. to put it blatantly, chicago youth are SPOON FED their music. they don't seek out for the good shyt cuz it'z to much work.

to tell ya the truth, i'd rather spend my last 20 buckz on a good cd and a bite to eat than anything else. people fail to realize that these so called artists had to start somewhere, and that somewhere is in the underground. many of em think that they just popped out of no where and got signed. they don't even realize the hard work and dedication it takes to make it!!! then ya got ignorent people like the originator of this post who doesn't know a fuckin thing about what'z goin on, speaking on some ole "Common sold out" type shyt. how can anyone speak on something they know nothing about, nawmean? well i'd like to keep goin with this but i have to get back to work. peace N blessingz.

Peace and blessings OKP. Yo why is it that we cats from chicago gotta show so much disregard for each other? This is the exact thinking that prevents chicago from leaving the mark on the hip-hop landscape that it should. How could u possibly say common sold out the chi?....i'm str8 out of chicago and i cant think of another mc that holds up the light for the chi like common. He has ALWAYS big upped the chi...put chicago talent on (malik yusef, chante savage, mad production) he came to columbia and did a show in the damn parking lot off wabash...he just recently was here doin a panel discussion with monique charidine...not only as a chicagoan but as an artist i am proud of common for reaching outside of chicago. Although i love my city, lets face it shit there just aren't the resources here for artist that there are in NY. If you tryin to be on the come up, u gotta make that move. Least for rye now until artist LIKE common and da brat start using their labels as vehicles to draw the attention towards chicago...which in turn brings money into the picture, which in turn eleviates the need for chicago artist to have to leave just get put on. The world is a lot bigger than chicago. I have lived both here and on the each coast. two totally different experiences, and i actually apprecaite the chi more having lived there. It's not like common said he was never comin back this mug. He just had to make moves for a minute. As far as him sayin he is a new yorker now i dont know if that is true or not but if it is i am disappointed...i would be interested to hear from him wut he meant by that. And yo son as far as your comments about common being gay u r just ignorant yo. Wut the hell does that have to do with his lyrical ability? And the fact that the man has style does not predetermine that he is gay. But lets say common is gay....WHO GIVES A FUCK! aint like he is tryin to get up with ure ignorant ass dawg i think common got better taste then that. So to wrap it up stop hatin that man. I'm not sayin common is perfect, but i know that being from chicago, the people here are really proud of where they are from. We have to fight for every bit of respect we got. Most people haven't even been here and wanna talk about my city. But we know wut is like goin to the festivals in the fall. The taste in the summer. Just chillin by the lake. Goin to the underground sets where the real hot shit is. Chicago is an incredible city that i wish more people had a chance to experience. But with the shit infested words flowin out of your mouth, there should be little motivation for people to want to experince that. Since u so worried about people sellin out chicago, try bein a better rep yourself patna. GETYAMINDRYE yo damn..........one

he played at the House of Blues despite the hiphop boycott.

I guess I sold Chicago out to, because I went to the concert. I support all my undergroud Chicago artist. Watch-out for Rec Center, Profound and Juice!!

no, you just don't support underground Chicago hiphop, you hypocrite

Explain yourself!!! Would I have not been supporting Common by not going, or is Common no longer Chicago Hip-Hop.

>Explain yourself!!! Would I have
>not been supporting Common by
>not going, or is Common
>no longer Chicago Hip-Hop.

Chicago Hip Hop seemed to be pretty unified in their boycott. Common wanted nothing to do with the boycott. so ask yourself, is Common Chicago hip hop?

You keep Common's name in your mouth all day every day.

Why do you care where he moves? Get a life.

Thoughtfully yours,

Hey BootenLeeFascist, quit hating on gay people, or me and my gay housemate are gonna have to find you and beat you with a dildo.

What the hell are you talking about? Com's lived in New York for a couple years now? I'm from Chicago. He hasn't sold me out; the hip hop scene in Chicago not condusive to an artist like Com so he split. God bless him.

Ya know, your right... I apologize for my malicious remarks,
I never realized what a great contribution Chicago has made to us
folks in the Tri-State area by creating the deep dish pizza.
