It's crazy how Com's biggest song is coming 22 years into his career... When the average rap career lasts 36 months...Life is crazy sometimes...

 

[Harry B]

Common is one of the those few artist that keeps it 100, never sold out at all and is still getting more and more money for over 20 years straight for him.

Falls the fukk back, my mind erased that it ever happened you just had to remind me

everyone forgot about it....hey, he's still a great artist. Very very few are still relevant 20+ years in the game and he deserves a shout for it.

song is absolute ass though.

Anything with a choir seems to win. SUPER annoying. Same shyt Sam Smith did.

 

[Barry Sanders]

Three 6 had a better Oscar winning Rap song.....

Real talk...it was.

Common was rapping on some pre-skool shyt here.

I was shocked to actually hear the song and then find out it was nominated

I salute their win but the song is on that "we shall overcome bullshyt" and white people love that struggle shyt.

Sounded like some shyt out of your kids musical. Smh

Common remembered all those times Oprah shytted on hip hop

shyt is so blatant

 

[☑︎#VoteDemocrat]

happy for them, but at the same time, any roles in hollywood about black people who aint criminals, maids, slaves, or marching? cant a nikka just shine on some regular human being shyt.


we'll have equality when films like inherent vice, grand budapest hotel etc are made by and feature black people and arent about issues.

This is why I'm not a fan of the song. It's on some church shyt talking about the struggle and makes white people feel safe about discussing these issues.

Not to mention it sounds cliche as fukk and common spit those struggle bars on this shyt.

No it's not. It may not be great but it isn't ass.

Loved the speech but that unity part had me. The irony is most of those white folks clapping don't give a damn about the struggle, and Patricia Arquette proved my point with her bullshyt speech after the Oscars.
