OkayPlayer should be ashamed of themselves!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When you guys first started this web-site rashid was one of
the first artists to allow you guys to host his web page,
based on the relationship that he had established with the
roots. And this is how you guys reward him? To even imply
that Rashid would let his own father suffer is a slap in the
face to him & all that he stands for. Never mind
Rashid’s crusade against HIV/AIDS, SIDS, or the work that his
foundation has done in Chicago with high school kids the past
5 years. we must not forget his strong stand for
truth,freedom & justice which is obvious when you listen
to his records. he had never sold out for the dollar nor has
he ever turned his back on friends or loved ones. Rashid has
been helping out people, before Common even existed. It’s a
sad day when a so-called journalist wants to build a name on
the back of a REVOLUTIONARY!! like their are no other issues
to discuss in hip-hop!!! I don’t think Dacruz would step to
Baby who was on the cover of Jet magazine showing his half
millon dollar smile, while the victims of the terroist attack
of New Oreleans, his brothers & sisters don’t have a home.
This was a one sided article, and for Dacruz to even write
this story, means you have betrayed those close to Common,
along with Common himself with revealing some unfactual
bullshit!!! My first thought being from South Shore in
Chicago was Dacruz needs 21 shots to the dome(violation), but
i have matured and Common being in the public eye is use to
haters, and Rashid has taught me that some battles aren’t
worth fighting, our battle is to help our “under
privilaged” peers, who are suffering from Post Tramatic
Slave Syndrome understand the true meaning of truth, freedom,
& justice for all!!!!! However some of my cats aren’t
there yet and enjoy every battle, so Dacruz beware how you
gain your fame, beware of attempting to slander strong black
man, beware of sterotypes that you have help propell amoung
black son & fathers,but be aware that Rashid & Big
Lonnie always and will continue to have a loving
relationship, and lastly beware of the Duck Tape
Boys!!!!!!!!! I can’t stop them!!!!!! Big Murray

Then again, if he is making money and just not helping his flesh and blood out, trying to make excuses for it–no matter what happened in the past–then that’s another story. My whole thing is that if the man was on your albums, then things must be some kind of good between y’all. If you got it, then help him out. If not, then make it happen somehow. It isn’t like he’s an unknown or novice rapper.

Listen to song and read blog for explanation. 1

In my opinion two of the best albums this year came from Wu-Tang members Method Man and Ghostface Killah. (Opinion based on lyrical content not album sales)

^^funny shit right there Gay Bol but on some real shit…Common better hit the block an start slangin rocks cuz even though his pops is a grown ass man…its still Commons job as his son to make sure is father is livin right. When parents get too old to take care of themselves its their kids job to take care of them not the governments.

^ Major cosignage

Only the most popular/highest selling “rappers” (Jay, Outkast, Eminem, Nelly, etc…) get anything from sales and touring…if they tour at all (3000 has publicly denounced touring).

proof you graduated

Publishing is guaranteed money. The whole system is extra complicated because there are many different kinds of publishing set ups. The government has publishing laws that make sure a company has to pay the artist x amount of money. If the company owns the artist’s publishing, they don’t have to pay the artst any money while receiving the publishing dough.

I bet that Common does not own his publishing. He isn’t really a businessman either. He did a few vegen ads, but he wasn’t in any movies or nothing like that. He doesn’t have his own shoes or clothing line. If Common was a brand name like 50 Cent or Jay-Z, he would have alot more dough.

i only care if a artist music is good..

“answerd” said most music is gargage right now…I agree

people who post more that once about stuff that has nothing 2 do with the topic of tha blog are StanZ..
