  • i loveeee HIP HOP

  • I love Common...a rapper who really has something to talk about! Very underrated!

  • damnnnn....there go my baby Common!! My baby!

  • why is it that, no one can just enjoy the poetry? Just give us a smile and stop hating how far the black community has come. This is beautiful.

  • @ikon36 - your an idiot!!! So do us all a favor and don't speak!

  • @kbeautiful1 Haha you're the idiot because I was obviously mocking what Fox News said about Common.

  • I didn't know there was any controversy when I watched this. I don't read much by the way of American news, save when it becomes an international matter. I simply enjoy good poetry.

  • @ handonrip...I honestly don't think obama's religion has anything to do with how well or bad he runs the country...ppl can say they are christian or that they believe in God all day, and still do wrong by you...cuz if that's the case, then what is George Bush's excuse? he was so-called Christian, and you see what problems he created for america the 8 years he was in office...you can't blame Obama for eveything that is goin wrong in america, cuz he clearly had help prior to getting elected!

  • I loved the poetry; cant see why they were really trippin on Common?!?! What I don't like is the way they truncated HIS segment while the others were posted in full?!?! Why not show us the beginning when Common was introduced?? Show us how he took the stage to a dj scratching in words from MLK's I Have A Dream speech, or is that too much for the White House as well?? Or maybe they tried to omit that part because it doesnt fit in with their "thug label" hypocracy?!?! Things that mke you go "hmm?"

  • POETS ROCK!!

  • Fox News...eat crow.

  • You Suck!

  • i am a 57yr old white male,more right wing than left, and i can't help but wonder what the hell everyone is outraged about. i liked it. poetry, like writing, language, music is fluid, changing. not everyone likes carl sands, robert frost. doesn't mean i dislike them. maybe they hate just to hate.pick on common if you like, he can take it, leave michelle alone. your mama must be ashamed!

  • When I was a kid back in '67, there was a TV rock group called the Monkees that got into some hot water due to their musicianship being called into question. People in the media were getting on their case and wondering if they knew how to play their instruments. Strange thing about it was that some very nice music did indeed come from them. Songs like "Stepping Stone" "Pleasant Valley Sunday" and many others. Standards these days are totally down the toilet, but where are the media libs ... ?

  • @blenkarni You've turned it around. That's not how it works in this country, don't ya know? It's fine to exalt some no-talent that hates Caucasians and "sings" about black cop-killers doing their thang; especially if it's about killing Caucasian cops. But don't you dare be a racist and give michelle obama a taste of her own medicine!

  • OMG MARTIN LUTHER KING WAS ABLE TO BARACK US. DAMN BLACK THUGS SALLY CLOSE YOUR EARS YOU CANNOT PLAY WITH THOSE OBAMA KIDS EVER AGAIN!!!!!!

  • Really. why are some of you republican fools sending me replies like this is some sort of damn debate? You don't like what I said? tough tittie! you will survive! don't waste your time sending me messages that are deleted before they are even opened for reading.....I said what I wanted and have moved on...

  • Why CANT I FIND THE WHOLE POEM this is the last half -- theres a whole half missing

  • OMG OMG WHAT A THUG!!! I'M OUTRAGED!

  • @ikon36

    LOL okay, Fox News people r punch of stupid fools...

  • @ikon36 LMAO!

  • @ikon36 are you kidding? Clearly you dont know who COMMON is.. he has been around for years with uplifting lyrics and poetry alike. Youtube him....I cannot believe that you compared Common to a thug.....now if that was lil wayne or boosie...then I would agree....Common a thug? Come on really? I mean really? Sheez!

  • @lyfeluvdrama Calm down, I was clearly being sarcastic. Just mocking what fox news said about him. Man.

  • this is controversial?
