Common is another legend and another one of my favorite rappers from back in the day. I definitely a good amount of his cds in my collection… He just seems so down to earth and chill and I love that he doing well in movies and making a name for himself there too. Even if he is not as big in the mainstream, his truth fan appreciate all of what he does! 👑

3:20 these kind of stories always baffle me, like did the ideas come to him in his sleep from somewhere else? For him to wakeup and instantly create a classic, there's really levels to this game

[@kinesis_211]

Trust, It’s amazing what a lil sleep can do for you. Also, it’s one of those things of “it happened at the right moment “ cause if he had done it before he got to sleep orrrr if he hadn’t gone out all night and came early and all, he might or might not have come up with this yk

I've been listening to his music for years and watching his acting in "Smoking Aces" "John Wick 2" "Hell On Wheels" and "The Chi". One of the few successful rapper/actors, in my opinion. I saw him at a 24 Hour Fitness in Portland, OR a few years ago. He was hooping on the b-ball court while I was doing cardio. As I was leaving the gym, he was outside hanging with some lady and I was so star struck, I called him "MC Common"....embarrassing I know....lol! I told him I loved his work, he said "Thank you, appreciate it" and I kept it moving. I'm glad he didn't call me a cornball, lol! I didn't want to ask for any pictures or bombard him with a million questions either, I'm sure he got that all the time from people. Anyway, I'm glad he's still making moves in the business, listening to this interview is inspiring for me to go out and pursue my dreams and ambitions.
