Fair enough. That was a pretty obnoxious ad. Why is he speaking to an empty auditorium? I don't get that.
I tried reading his book, but that was pretty obnoxious too.
I find a lot of his albums contain three or four good songs, surrounded a bunch of filler. Not all, but most.
But those three or four songs are fantastic. I made a personal "best of" Common mix, and it's the greatest thing ever. He's generally an excellent lyricist. His positivity has undoubtedly made shitty lives better. To the best of my knowledge, he's never endorsed a liquor product.
Parents and kids can dig Common, which is kind of corny but also kind of cool.
I dunno. I can think of at least a dozen contemporary rappers who deserve hate more than Common.
