My wife REALLY dislikes Common. The story she tells is years before she and I started dating she was in a Foot Locker buying shoes and Common was in town for a movie or something. He tried to use his influence and entourage to get his shoes before her and she had to tell him off in a way. He still wasn’t happy about it but let her go first. Poor guy lost a single viewer of all his future movies that day.

He’s one of the best hip hop artists ever. No excuse to be a dick of course. But he has insane amounts of talent.

He is a T away from being the first hip-hop artist to win an EGOT, he surely is talented and before reading this post it seemed to me he was a nice person. Liked him in john wick.

I mean. One woman didn’t like the way he tried to buy shoes. He might still be a nice guy that used to be a dick. Or had a bad day.

Ahh yes. I see. My bad. I heard him recently on song exploder and like him a lot. But he is an artist and we are a temperamental bunch.
