As far as activism, he's been pretty involved in PETA and AIDS Awareness for a while now... He’s been just “Common” since, like, 95 or 96.

As far as activism, he’s been pretty involved in PETA and AIDS Awareness for a while now…

Ice T playin a fucking cop on TV? Lord have mercy. But really, what is an 'activist' anyways? I reckon (unless they helping homeless people turn abandoned lots into vege gardens or some shit) the term is little more than a badge that projects some kind of countercultual 'cool $$$ignal' and also lets the very same culture know exactly where you are at all times, na'mean? A pigeon hole for damn pigeons. As for 'artist' that's a whole nother box o wine... Yeah happens to the best of em. Ice T playin a fucking cop on TV? Lord have mercy.

He's clearly out of his senses.

I've never known him to be called anything except just Common. Although, to be sure, my knowledge of hip-hop artists is second-rate at best, so maybe he was Common Sense at some point. Common Sense actually makes more sense as a name, too. You mean the rapper? I’ve never known him to be called anything except just Common.

Still, Common is an activist about as much as 50 is a rapper. Ha! They money is never where they mouth is. I is ever waiting for the show to be bumrushed... Don't make me do it my damn self!
