@Ynnuboero ur totaly right thats the reason why they invited a college graduate rapper and poet who talk the reality of things. next time people want to talk shit plz get rid of the ignorance first. dont judge things u dont know
They talk about how Common is against the police and government and talk about how vile his lyrics are then wish Ice-T a happy birthday in the next segment. Good job, Fox News.
The amount of ignorance coming from these comments is ridiculous. First of all, Common is one of the most talented, influential and most positive role models in all of hip-hop. He doesn't rap about money, guns or hoes like some of the talentless hacks we have on the radio (ie. Gucci Mane). Please listen to one of Common's albums (i suggest "Be" or "Finding Forever") before judging him with the poison that FOX News is feeding your mind.
@OaktownWhiteboy Word to ur Momma.. G. oops was that too Vanilla Ice of me? Don't be Hating just cause I agree with quotin one of the real West side G's. 2Pac is a real G baby, nothing but a G.thing baby. Nothing but a dead G. baby. ouch, there I go again going all white Vanilla ice rapping, ryhming like a G thing baby.
How Clever to include BHO into his little Diddy of a rap poem. I was so touched that I almost had a tear...sigh. Thank you Common for being so common in your lame little poem for Barak. I hope someday soon, someone will BaROCK ur world with a policeman knocking on your window... Indeed, How will YOU answer that call?
Ooh controversity. My life be changed forever. I is a new man now. I'm a Bush&Dick Born Again Republican Bonerhead. Obama, you killed Osama, why you be listening to this lame shite?
Obama, you want some 'Words' to be pondering? Go to my YouTube site (BertGriffin88) and listen to some of my 157 original songs that I've posted. If you listen you just might be controversimified, you knows what I'm sayzing! At least listen to the couple I attach to this here video.
@fasfsdfasd when in his entire catalogue has he glorified cop killing.. If it is so unfair why was Johnny Cash complimented by George Bush and given an award at the white house when Johnny Cash has said much more vulgar things including spousal abuse and murder and racism.. Quote me one thing Common has said violent without taking it out of . If you listen to rap music which I am sure you do not, you would understand Common is socio-conscious hip hop, not hip-pop or gangster rap.
Prince song "Dead On IT" from "The Black Album" - "Rappers problem seems to stem from being tone deaf" , "Pack the house try to sing there won't be no one left" , "Cause their dead on it" , " "on it".
During this controversy, people have forgotten about the multitude of injustices caused by police departments all over the USA during the time of the late civil rights era. The cop killer Common refers to in this poem that I've never even heard of until yesterday (infuencing the youth huh), was a Black Panther Activist throughout the late 60s and early 70s. How many civil rights activist, white and black, were abused and/or murdered by law enforcement during this era? Too many. Self defense.
@fasfsdfasd Excuse me, but who is the moron here? Iraq did not have anything to do with 911 nor did it have any weapon of mass destruction... so based on your logic, what should the Iraqis do to the USA now since you killed a lot more than just 3000 Iraqis? I wonder what your reply will be and if you are going to respond like a libtard.
wow a lot of hate obama i see you know what kills me no matter what president is in the white house people will not like him or her so if sarah palin wins or donald trump lol people just won't be satisfied at all i think what would work if the people of this cournty all had a say we made the decision for the president not the congress it probably won't work out but hey thats the only way the people decided
@RagnaDDR - How long as America been a country? That's how long socialism has worked.
I love the ignorance of the "Obama is a socialist" crowd. Always funny.
You and I have both benefited from the socialist enterprise of local governments, police and fire protection, road building, the US military, public education and in my case state college, and much much more thanks to the taxation and use of those revenues to better our lives.
Ya the Bilderberg, Skull and Bones, Zionists, Illuminati kings really Baracked us... WAKE UP PEOPLE! They're trying to possess you over again with these sweet words, I thought Common would be the least to be used as a tool and would see RIGHT through Obama's facade... but NO!!! They've got Common as well and are puppeteering him... NOT ME i will fight these monsters to the last of my breath while sheeple hail the next anti-christ...
Anyone that says COMMON is a racist or supports cop killers is un-aware of his body of work, his history of community service, his EXTREEMLY positive influence to young minds and his peaceful persona. Artist can be misconstrued by taking thier words out of context specially if they are talking about an emotionally charged issue. i interviewed COMMON for a local TV station and was around him "off camera" and seen who he really is. Cop killer supporter he is not. Peoples right supporter he is.
Common is great! Michelle Obama is great! Barrack Obama is great! Because they are Black???????????? Common is no literary genius. GOD help us if these are the best the USA has to offer.
I'm not a fan of the last line of the poem, but I love the delivery. Common in the white house...now THAT'S a blessing!!! Out with politics as usual. To all the nay sayers, welcome to the 21st century! Yes, we're black, and we're here to stay. lol
Respond to this video... STOP WATCHING FOX NEWS...YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT COMMON DOES NOT PROMOTE COP KILLING, THAT IS ABSURD....MAYBE IF YOU LISTENED TO A COUPLE OF HIS SONGS YOU WOULD KNOW THIS...HE IS A VERY SOCIALLY CONSCIOUS HIP-HOP ARTIST...THE ONLY REASON HE IS BEING ATTACKED IS BECAUSE HE IS A MC, HE IS not the cliche "rapper" conservatives make him out to be....im sorry but you are just sooooooo lost
@NWsubmom there stupid speculation that his daughter maybe named after a black panther party member that was convicted of killing a police officer in a time when police and civilians were beating killing black people for standing up for civil injustices. He does not "support" cop killing in any form!!!! His lyrics are most definitely not misogynistic in any form! He never said he was from the "hood" but he does like to represent people living in poverty and help through charitable events.
Respond to this video... he does not support a cop killer but perhaps a person that stood up in the face of racial injustice and protested for civil rights in the 70's. How about you stay in the suburbs completely blind to the rest of the world and when you chose to open your mind a tad bit come back with something a little more logical than that. You obviously know nothing about true Hip-Hop because it is not mainstream and supported by the media.
Respond to this video... Bring reverend wright into it....thats just dumb because nobody said anything when John Hagee McCain's so called spiritual advisor spread plenty of racist ideas and lies.
@NWsubmom please do some research on Assata Shakur (The Black Panther Member you are referring to) and read about how she beaten,chocked, and shot by the police during a protest. They aren't even sure if she was the one who even shot the officer. Plus Common tells her story about the incident, he isn't promoting it! HUGE DIFFERENCE!!
@NWsubmom - Oh, sub mom. So happy to see you again.
The only people outraged by this are idiots misrepresenting Common's work and making connections to Rev. Wright so they can justify their already intense hatred of President Obama.
No one thinks Common is controversial except the white folks like you who already get scared at the sight of black people.
You can make heinous accusations about Common's body of work, but it stands as an impressive catalog of thoughtful observations.
I'm not surprised you don't understand the common literary technique of first-person, character narratives in hip hop, representing the ideas of someone who is not the author, but expressing a true sentiment of real people.
It starts with the subtle racism of low expectations, believing a hip hop artist isn't capable of literary technique. Then you just see your own hate through to the end, making any tenuous connection you can: Rev. Wright., etc
@DidMadeSaidThought Hey if you as a white person choose to view other people who disagree with this particular invite to the WH as being racist, that is your perogative.
Obama said it. " Don't tell me WORDS don't matter!'
You know what party has the racism of low expectations?
The Democratic Party. I have seen it and lived it.
It is the Democratic Party that looks down on black Americans as not being able to do for themselves, always needing help. that ridicules black Conservatives as oreo etc
@NWsubmom - Words do matter, and so does understanding their meaning. If you are capable of discerning the subtleties of art, that's your loss.
Johnny Cash sang, "I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die." Also, "I shot her in the side, shot her twice and watched her die." He was invited to receive an award by W, as he should have been. But you didn't see mock outrage about his work.
Social programs that help create boot straps will always be necessary for black, white, and all.
@NWsubmom - Disagree all you want. This is just two people willingly engaging each other with their own ideas. I never told you to shut up, so by all means disagree with me.
Thin skins, hahaha. Oh the irony! I'm not offended by you, but you on the other hand are soooo offended by Common, of all people, going to the WH. All you need is for Sean Hannity to regurgitate his chewed up perspective into your mouth like a baby chick waiting for its daily does of hate.
@NWsubmom - What's interesting is that you're so used to applying the transitive power to people you don't like or disagree with that you're somehow equating me with supporting the killing of cops or not being sympathetic about their death.
No cops should be killed and Common doesn't support cop killing. He believes Ms. Shakur was wrongly convicted. There is ample evidence to demonstrate she might have been. That doesn't equate to being happy that a cop was killed or supportive of violence.
@DidMadeSaidThought The first part of you comments are something that could be applied to you too and your original comments as painting me unfairly as a racist, right?
There is no doubt to those familiar with the case that the person on the run was guilty.
The person had their day in court. You have the right not to agree with me but many other's have the right to think that it is wrong for the WH to invite a person who spews hate in his songs and yes supports convicted cop killers!
@NWsubmom and to label a black panther party member as a so called "cop killer despite all of the honorable community work and civil rights protest , is like labeling George Washington only as a Slave owner, and terrorist to the British Empire.
We spend too much time on the wrong things. Get active in your local community to improve your life and the condition of life for your neighbors. Do it for your family, if not for your neighbors.
i may have to agree that this videoclip is ok, nothing special. however common [is] one of the top emcees rappin'. and i already know what type of rap u enjoy if u think or say common is wack, but dude does have skills on the mic, hands down. i can understand however if u don't care for what he raps about or if he doesn't make club music, suit what fits u. skill recognize skill..
@Avicenna1985 Dude you need to lighten up. Bin Laden was a terrorist war criminal. He killed THOUSANDS of innocent people. It's ignorant beyond words to compare Obama to an actual murderer. Whatever he did, he did to protect ignorant assholes like you from the REAL monsters.
@KeroroGunsouTX Your president(s) are the monsters, don't you get it? Where is George W. Bush? Is he locked up for his crimes against humanity or what? If OBL is a monster for killing 3000 people (while OBL did not even admit doing this crime), then what do you call George W. Bush who killed/wounded millions of Iraqis, made them refugees, orhphans, widowers etc.
