- www.vladtv.com - VladTV sat down with Common and had a brief discussion on racism. While only scratching the surface, Common shows himself to be well versed on the topic and discusses the research required for him to portray freed slave Elam Ferguson on the AMC drama, "Hell on Wheels."
While addressing the complex nature of slavery in the 1800s, Common relates the struggles to those of today, saying racism is still a prevalent issue, it just isn't as overt as it once was. When asked about the racist remarks Justin Bieber made, Com admits he was surprised because it seems like Justin respects black culture, and he doubts Bieber intended to demean black people.
When asked about Lord Jamar's now infamous interview where he said Whites are guests within Hip-Hop, Common disagrees, saying that while it's a known fact the culture was begun by Blacks and Latinos, you don't have to be from the ghetto to express Hip-Hop.

4 years later... still talking about it!! lol
Dude named Common Sense using common sense. Hip Hop is above race.
Yeah, Hip-Hop is above race. Sadly, our country is not.
no it the fuck aint

As a white boy growing up in Chi, I did graffiti since 98. That, being a part of hip pop , I’ve met so many people. Black, White, Hispanic, Asian, and European cats who had the same passion as me. People who were no doubt about it straight hip hop, and people you would of never thought in a milloin years paint. My English teacher was a very well read, educated black man. Turns out, he was one of the biggest graffiti artists in Chicago, showed me how to paint and how to get better at my craft. My point being, Hip Hop brought people from different lifestyles but w/ one same passion together. I will forever be greatful to Hip Hop for that. ✌🏻
who created Hip Hop was only blacks, whites have nothing to do with it
@@darttreeks250Whites made basketball alone nobody else Michael Jordan is a guest
@@MrChaos-db9ox But it is different, hip hop was created as a black culture, I have nothing against white in rap, but you have to respect that it is a black culture, the same thing in basketball black people respect the whites
The crazy thing is eminem acknowledged hiphop is black culture
@Truth IS Eminem has been called the best at rap by multiple artist's you're point
Finally some Common sense
Kool G Herc the godfather of Hip Hop said in a interview: “Hip Hop is about the youth and younger heart. Family orientated, no one left out. No black thing nor white thing; is a we thing.” The Hip Hop pioneers had an universal type of thinking in relation to music. Hip Hop started in the South Bronx block parties of the early 70's that were made to unite people of different races and nationalities and stop the gang violence. This block parties were made mostly by black and latinos but there were also white and asian people on those parties. Black, latin and white music used to be played in those parties. People that put racial divisions in Hip Hop are misguided minds that know nothing about Hip Hop history and have in their minds archaic segregational beliefs that white supremacist put on their brains.
This what I've been sayin man. I'm from NY and talked to the older cats that were around back in those days and they've always said that while it was mostly black and latino there was no shortage of whites and other groups from jump. And as it grew it only got more and more mixed. People like Jamar are bigots. There's no other word for it. If you ain't a straight-black-cis-preferably NOI/5%/Muslim-male you ain't right in his book. Just like to most white supremacists if you ain't a straight-white-cis-preferably Protestant christian-male you ain't right in their book. It's a sick way of thinking that's used to divide people and keep us easily dominated no matter what color we are. Because if the poor and working class are united, it's a problem for the powers that be!
Then why some rappers elevated over other rappers due to the way they look?
Hiphop/rap is not and never has been about color.
@@nobodyheree1 the same reason ugly ppl have a hard time getting dates...
Ay, brother. Just want to throw out there that it was actually Benjy Melendez (r.i.p.) of the Ghetto Brothers that did those things you're saying. He's the one that stopped the gang violence to bring the community together and started the street parties to unite the people of the Bronx. Benjy's band played a different kind of music, though. They mixed funk with latin and rock. The message did get carried on after that, though. With Herc and Bambaatta.
Regardless of that, like you said, hiphop culture wasn't meant to be exclusive to one or the others. It simply was a Bronx culture that was made and developed by blacks and Latinos in the BX that got spread. It's not a black or latino or black and latino culture, it's a Bronx culture. Though it's original message/purpose is far gone at this point.

Golf and tennis, both considered to be " white" sports in the USA but by no means do I consider Tiger,Serena or Venus guests
Tennis is known as "the white sport" because the equipment and the ball used to be white, not because of the color of the players. At wimbledon they are still required to were white equipment. Golf, on the other hand, is considered to be a sport for the rich.
Hockey too
Alex Matei no it was a white sport because that’s all that populated the sport not because of their outfits.
@anger & rage any athlete at that level had to fight their way up and any athlete at that level is a commodity if a league athlete but that's not the way golf or tennis works. Those are individual athletes. They may have trainers and agents but they aren't owned by anyone except perhaps corporate sponsors but if that's the case, it was by their dried signature on paper.
Anger and rage is correct and im a so called negro ...the primise of Lord Jamar saying that Europeans and races other than so called negroes are guests is because the so called negroes invented hip hop or rap would mean that all races other than Europeans are guests in NBA NFL MLB PGA and anything else that they invented because they invited it ...so LMAO we are on the short end of the stick with calling people guests because we invited hip hop like yay we got something to be proud about except what we talk about in rap I'm not proud LMAO
Common is speaking from a logical standpoint unlike others who go off an emotional standpoint.
Emotions are valid.

Exactly, there some old farts out there thinkin they own hiphop/rap, they themselves haven't done jack for the culture now they just wana bi**h about it like it's there property. Bi**h a$$ ho*$

Nobody make good decisions from emotions
@@a.m.4049it was valid enough for people to be enslaved behind it, and be denied human rights and civil rights but…🥱
Jamar entitled to his wrong opinion...😂
People saying Jamar is the "truth". Common is the truth. Jamar is what you call "sincere". He acts like he truly believes what he says, but there's a video out there, him saying that him getting people talking and worked up is attention, any attention is good. Hip hop has united a good portion of the white/black/hispanic community better than anything else I could imagine. Hip hop isn't a segregating force, it's a unify-er and so many people in America are living the best lives imaginable because they love who they love, respect our differences. When we're different and work together, that is stronger than any unification of 1 race in it's best day.
@Schism Circle Wow obviously you must be racist to even get so fired up in your comment. How bout you sit your bitch ass down and quit getting ignorant? Where the fuck did you hear that there's different races of people? What sense does that bullshit make?
So people just ignoring science in this thread lmao
Schism Circle no. That is a straw-man argument. A scientific theory is completely different from one you allude to at the end of your retort. I would ask if you understand, but you already proved that to be no.
Well said brother
you can clearly see how intelligent and reasonable Common is, notice how he calls hiphop an `artform` and not a `house`? right thats because common isnt a racist moron who will jump on any bullshit reason or analogy to make black people look better than they are or white people look worse than they are.
This cat gets nowhere near the love he should get. His projects are consistently solid.
Common is such a phenomenal rapper and an even better actor.
More importantly, he is genuine. You can take or leave his art, but you gotta love his energy.
Well universal mind control was wack
Electric circus was wack
Absolutely. I argue with many people over this. I'm black/Latino and since way back, u were judged on your rap skills, NEVER judged on your color. Rick rubin, Russell, plenty of whites blacks and Latino helped build his hop. No guests.
You’re “Afro Latino” or Latino American lol
Its funny how positivity never gets as much publicity as negativity
Much respect to Common
Peace, Love, Unity, and having fun. This is the truest and most fundamental definition of hip hop.
The pioneers created Hip Hop to unite us.
And yet now it's used to promote our demise as a race...funny how that works...and by funny I mean tragic.
Johnny Angel
ok, HH isn't just one style. think outside of the box.
What are yall talking about lol. Johnny Angel Do you mean "our demise as a species"? Mark Howell huh?
*****
He's thinking of a certain type of hiphop. But not all of the genre is violent based.
***** Our demise as a people is what he means.
Just because one respects black culture doesn't necessarily mean they respect black people. Just Saying.
Agreed
Hip hop is American culture. Cultures don't have skin colours.
Pär Sekut Says you culture thief
Cultures are not objects. They cannot be stolen.
You should probably buy dictionaries. The both of you.
Pär Sekut ignore him. He's with that whole RBG shit. Nothing but racists down with that shit
its pretty amazing how every race really can come together with music. it seems to be one of those timeless activities we will always be connected by. Blessed to be living in a time where technology allows us to listen to such a large variety of tunes
I WAS WAITING TO HEAR HOW COMMON ANSWERED WHERE HIP HOP CAME FROM, AND I WAS VERY PROUD OF HIM WHEN HE SAID "IT CAME FROM THE STRUGGLES OF BLACKS AND LATINOS!" THANK YOU COMMON! HIP HOP 4EVER!!!
Lol. Latinos did not help create hip hop. They were in the Bronx but for not create or fully hey involved until the early 80s.
What's so important about claiming something as yours? Isn't music meant to unite people?
+Black Adam Bach didnt create the piano nor invent writing music. So its nothing like that. Its more like telling people to know the origins of something if theyre going to claim it. And theres nothing wrong with that, unless you insulate yourself in a box of political correctness.
w jones
Like Asians and Caucasians weren't involved in creating Hip-Hop... smh
Yes but we don't have much and our music that could and should create wealth for us but it gets taken from us make other people wealthy, anything of value they have they keep it for themselves Oscar, Banking, big Contracts etc.
MANGO ZOO
I'm part black and white myself but do you know what's racist? To say that only people with gene X should be able to work as Y. What if they said "okay, only black people may make Hip-Hop music but only white people may make [music/film/video game genre]"? That would be ass. I think it's pretty backwards to try to revive racism.
Film industry black people are struggling for parts, gaming industry is there a lot? Hip hop was created by poor minority communities that were cut off from opportunities becouse of "Racism"...and everyone nows that, except white kids who think its just pop music, just like rock, jazz, blues, r&b, when white people have anything of value they keep it for themselves, nice neighbour hoods is now a gated neighbour hood like golf, now a private golf club, education privet schools....can we please have hip hop I mean you all can enjoy it but can we own that at least😕
Oh no "I'm Reviving Racist"
That sounds silly to me, I'm mixed to and I think we have had different experiences growing up, not to say you can't share your opinion,just sounds like you live at home or you have inheritance coming to you or your look at life from a comfortable perspective,
I grew up around poor black people so I have empathy and understanding why things that they created and really love value they would like to keep.
Here is what Lord Jamar is missing. It doesnt matter how much he "influenced" rap or started hip hop...if someone makes a beat, then writes lyrics for the song, that is THEIR work of art. It does not matter at all what their skin color is at that point, there is no "guest" at that point.
I agree, but I understand where Lord Jamar is coming from. To him, Hip Hop is much more than just a genre of music. Hip Hop started off as something more than just a genre and he's close to those roots.
Firstname Surname i can see that. Then Jamar should specify what he's talking about. No one is trying to break into the "Black only rappers from the 80's" category. They're breaking into the "2015 brand new rap genre that has changed alot much like civil rights" genre.
+jason jasonson Anyone who knows what Hip-Hop is had no doubt about what he was talking about. Common is doing what he had to do as a guy with a corporate hand up his ass. He paints a rosy picture but shit is not that way. The funny thing is nearly every white rapper acknowledges that they are working within the framework of black culture, but few black rappers have the balls to sign off on the shit. Everything that gets passed down the pipe is not Hip-Hop even if it is an individual's personal effort. That goes for white, black and anyone else.
w jones i actually agree with alot of what youre saying... although i think alot of white rappers say they agree with jamar when in reality they think he's being a jackass..
if there was no such thing as race and everyone was black or everyone was white hip hop would still be a thing in m eyes
+w jones You are so right, white rapper's say the opposite to Common, other black puppets can't speak truth or chose not too it's ashame, if you look at his face you can see he don't feel right as he talks.
yeeaah I was sure Common would say this, because just listening to his songs its all calm and wiseness, he told the truth, beastie boys and eminem are not guests in hip hop but part of it,
or like grandmaster caz said everyone is guest in the house of hip hop, no matter the color.
to me, not being american, I see that Lord Jamar and star too are some very intelligent NY guys and shit, but too close minded on some points, too communautarist.
For real , Lord jamar sometimes turns into a crazy man sayin " whte devil" and shit.....
He could be a wise man, till he starts talking about colour....
KRS One said it even better Hip Hop is a consciousness u cant drink Hip Hop and suddenly become Hip Hop its a way of thinking its not based on skin color or what you wear or what age you are or if your male or female , its your soul expressing its self through Hip Hop , Hip Hop doesn't care about what you look like or if your this or that its a mind set
but i will say African Americans growing up in those harsh environments in the ghetto is what created this consciousnesses and we have to respect that but to say your not Hip Hop because your not a certain skin color is just racist .
Leave it to a great strain to explain the game.
These are words every race need to listen to
Thank you common that makes the most sense out of all of it. Jamar wants to seperate, instead of bringing us together. Always been a fan✌️
Common saying real talk
This is crazy... Hip Hop is taking the exact same path as Rock n' Roll.
Real shyt bruh
Dymez What do you mean?
Starting of as a black thing then got took over by whites. And no, this will never happen
Although a lot of my fellow Black Americans hate to hear it, a lot of the problems that we are currently going through as a culture continue because of us. Back in the day we didnt have the resources that we have now. Back in the day black music was taken and molded to fit the white image. Nowadays when other cultures enter this realm its out of respect for our culture, sound, and struggle. Eminem told his struggle through his music. Iggy Azelea was a high school drop out and some what of a delinquent. Sounds like she can relate to some of the chicks here in Chicago, if you actually listen. I had a debate about Iggy the other day and my brother refused to think outside the box until i broke it down further. Blacks focus on the wrong things. For years we made money for white record label owners. Now Iggy is on a label ran by a black label owner and she is making that Eminem, disney star and Lady Gaga money and we refuse to except her. If you think about it, yes, she is making money but TI is making more. We need to start with fixing us before we can fix racism. Just a thought.
durrell807 she is signed to island def jam not grand hustle
Hip hop was supposed to bring all people together! Remember the mid 90s
Brotha Com spitting that knowledge! It's very clear when you have love in your heart you can be are inclusive to all!
Hip Hop has so many flavors from positives, negatives, challenges, competiveness, And so on like most genres
Don't ever put a limit on music period.
Common was very fair in his speaking here... He really tried to be a grown up and understanding of people on general. He has really grown as an entertainer.
Commin is so underrated. Probably one of the dopest in Hip Hop. I love that " I Used To Love Her" and how he used a girl as an analogy for Hip Hop
And another solid emcee agreed with me in this fact Thank you Common 💪🏽💪🏽
Common used to be very abrasive, some people would say that he is being too soft now. I think that we are looking at a man who has in his own words learned and experienced other cultures and their motives and recognize that some people do desire equality. His music has touched many different types of people. I really enjoy this interview
He has definitely changed a lot from his younger days. If you listen to all his early songs from 1991-1994 (and particularly “Soul By the Pound” where he specifically addresses his disapproval of white people in hip-hop), it’s almost like young Common Sense and old Common are two different people.
thank you common, you put it perfectly. hip hop is universal. it doesn't belong to a single race.
lol bullshit you keep thinking that
+penny wiser Hip Hop is the music of the opressed, those opressed just happened to be black, so yeah it does belong to blacks. Having said that, i think Hip Hop has transended that and how should be used to unite all opressed and disenfrancshied people of the world. But you should always respect the elders my man.
when hip hop originated blacks where not the only one to be there. a lot of puerto ricans and other races were there to help give it birth as well. so no it does not belong to blacks.
penny wiser
to be fair i have seen a few videos of zulu nations gigs with a very mixed crowd
penny wiser who told you that? Lol this is our shit birthed post civil rights movement.my black and brown bros were left in the ghettos to rot and die.we wd have block parties and that's when dj cool herc grand master flash and dj afrikka bambataa wd spin the records and create break beats .cool herc was the first to do that and later grandmaster flash and grandwizard Theodore wd invent scratching..I'm a black rican and a original member of the legendary rock steady crew formed in 1977.I am from 156 morris park .I'm from the hell hole called the s.bx.now do not take away what my black bros created.the only other group of people that can rock with us with hip hops origins is my brown puerto rican bros who like us were looking for a voice just like we were..now I'm glad you like hip hop the culture it has universal appeal To all now.but don't get this twisted this was the house that me and my black and brown bros built from the burning ashes of the s.bx and respect needs to be givin to my people point blank.now common is being pc right now and get it.he has Something to lose so he no,s how to Play the game.this is no hate to you or Any other bc I helped spread this movement prob before you were born over 38yrs ago..hip hop is universal but its origins is black and brown ...I'm not spitting rhetoric here I'm not hating or race bating .I'm a origanator as a bboy who was there and contributed to its inception.my black and brown people are the most innnovative on earth .we set trends and create iconic art often with no respect or props given.and that ain't cool but my people will still prevail as our god given melanin rich people always do...so enjoy hip hop even participate just respect our culture and my people...godbless my black and brown folks and to all others peace..D.Martinez rock steady crew 78"...
One of my favorite MC's and a good brotha you can tell he has soul
I agree it's a bridge. Alot of your favorite black rappers are not from the hood or ghetto.
Well said Common ✊🏼
wasn't hip hop started as a freedom of expression? Stating that whites don't belong in hip hop is a racist statement. So if you say that, then doesn't that contradict the reasoning behind hip hop?
Black people can be racist to white ppl, but white ppl can't be racist when it comes to hip-hop
How they call us racist when we speak up.they invented racism they didn't want us in their restaurants so why should we let them make money off of us.a lot of them pretend not to be racist that's the kind to look out for.And stop sporten that fake ass rebel flag.The original one was made by a black woman.
WILL MCLOWD The people in those times are either very old or dead now-its not fair to judge white ppl as a whole from those people in the past tho

Common Dropped A LOT OF JEWELS IN "Nag Champa" My Favorite Common Song And Favorite J Dilla Beat.... That Second Verse DAMN.... Respect The Heritage.....
People have to ask themselves this one fundamental question, what is hip hop? and I see that it is about the struggle people face from day to day situations namely in poverty stricken neighbourhoods. But, lets ask ourselves a different question, what is the essence of hip hop? Is it not a poetic expression or poetry? and we see throughout history that poetry has been expressed throughout the world from country to country, culture to culture and from race to race. The only difference in my opinion between how it is expressed today and how it was expressed back then is that there are beats or instrumentals added on top of what the person is saying or poetically expressing. Historically speaking, there is no guests in hip hop in the true sense of the word (poetry) because it is something human.
Gotta respect and appreciate an open mind and a clean heart like Common. Straight up. Coming from a place as segregated as Chicago, the man still has the wisdom and sense that hip hop, like all music is for everyone and actually a bridge to unite and bring people together, some of whom may have never had the means or reason to come together if it wasn't for hip hop. Lord J should take note and drop that backward, hateful mentality of his..... It's people like him that are poiseneous to society and only aim to seclude instead of include. Lord J should be ashamed of himself. Almost a 60 year old man still hatin and being all salty... Shits weak as hell
Everyone one talks about Kings in Hip Hop. Lord Jamal is a pioneer and his voice has weight. But Common is a true king. There are very few real Hip Hop kings, Jay-Z, Common, Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, Nas, Scarface. These dudes are the kings, and their voices have molded Hip Hop for a long time.
What makes Common a True King.?? His Safe opinion
I didn't expect Common to say any different after his past comments.
Why is this question of "the guests" still coming up?

Hip hop was created by Jamaican and Puerto Rican blacks, and also Latin culture is inspired by African culture
I respect common and he does make some good points here about hip hop being a bridge but the simple fact remains hip hop is Black American culture. The style, the look, rap music, the attitude, etc. all of it comes from us. Why people have such a hard time respecting that is crazy to me. You know it's funny, no one would deny mariachi belongs to the Mexicans and any non Mexican who does it even if they do it well is still just a guest in that house, just like no one would deny Bollywood is Indian thing. No ones saying non blacks aren't welcome or can't enjoy or be a part of the culture. That would be absurd. Just respect where it came from and who it belongs to & it's all love!!! 100!!! #Gshit #Salute
It's all Love, unity and respect.
Exactly! See what we shared above: #ChrisRock’s stand up, where he reminds how he’s never seen an Indian family together having a meal in Red Lobster, comes to mind. #Common, we were about to click on this video, still seeing you as you’ve been classified *“AConsciousRapper,”* then we decided against it. Something told us that you may not have given the response we instinctively thought you may have gave: “No, they’re not guests in Hip Hop, they’re invaders. Like the colonists were to the Indians here.” #howardzinn, to fact check. And why is Vlad so seemingly obsessed with an analogy that #LordJamar delivered so long ago? When the oppressed bring up slavery they’re TOLD to “get over it!” Yet Vlad, seems like he can’t “get over” Lord Jamar’s statement here. Only #thetruth can hold a lasting effect like that. It’s not enough to get caucasian rappers to disagree with LJ. He got to get what’s called african-american ones to disagree too; thought Buckshot gave him ‘that shot’ already? Oh, no, a conscious rapper should “disagree” too, that should do it, right? Not! Never satisfied. LJ, he won’t rest till he gets the truly *unexpected* to disagree with you...maybe #MsLaurynHill. Ms. Hill, please don’t fall for it. I know, #Conjecture, right? LJ, keep teaching. You make your #Ancestors proud!
very true, however I've often found that it is just assumed that whites don't respect black culture or know anything about it...might be true in a lot of cases but not all the time.
Mexicans invented Mariachi in their home country which is predominately Mexican. If Africans invented Rap in Africa and made it popular their it would be inherently a black thing. However it was invented in NY which is one the most culturally diverse places in the World. America is a big malting pot anything invented nowadays is multicultural. You don't hear people trying to claim EDM as "white music" because the idea of that is ridiculous. Music is music and the more we try to base things on race the farther away we get from accepting each other as what we are which is Human Beings.
Sorry for the typos my phone is pretty sus
I love music because it makes me feel good!
I don't respect culture,i it makes it too easy for someone that don't deserve respect. i respect an individual that deserve respect whoever is from in world.

Jamar has alot of shit to say in front of a camera, but he wont tell eminem he's a guest to hip hop.
Who the fuck eminem suppose to be? Like he suppose the be all end all, eminem isn't rap he just a wigga that gotten legendary cause he's all the wigga's favorite choice. And people the media love seeing one of them dominate in someone's else's culture. This fool in the camera saying this shit isn't saying this wholehearted he know the media is watching, and if he said something bad that means curtains for his career. So he saying shit the bastards media want to hear.
hyphy1985 ill put it like this...Eminem can rap circles around 99% of black rappers...the dudes crazy talented just compare his music to the likes of lil wayne n drake etc...Regardless of his skin colour eminem is dope
Skin color doesn't matter if your listening to a song in you iPod then why does it matter what color or race the person who made it is
Eminem is thee only guest allowed.
Its so fucking stupid how even in the hip hop community people are still dividing into separate groups just because of skin colour, get over it hahahah
Why brothas gotta include Latinos in everything? They ain't is either
Because Latinos (specifically Puerto Ricans) played a huge role in the early stages of Hip-Hop, it's called breakdancing and graffiti. The animosity that an Afro-American has against a Latino is subjective via socio economic factors.
Latin America is a huge melting pot, with the bulk of these people having triracial roots. Since you live in the U.S., Mexicans make up 70% of the Latino population, and most of these people are a hybrid of Amerindian and Spaniard.
There are plenty of black people in Latin America, one doesn't have to be black and speak English to be a black person.
Emi Saullo Blacks don't have animosity towards Puerto Ricans. In nyc they get along pretty good. Now Mexicans that's a different story, gangs and stuff, but that goes both ways. Blacks didn't fuel that.
The early days, Puerto Ricans were a huge part of the beginning. In fact, many immigrants from all over the Caribbean contributed, Kool Herc was Jamaican. Hip Hop was a mixed culture from the beginning. Break dancing mixed with popping and locking from the west coast. Graffiti mixed with Mexican mural art by way of trains.
They don't give a fuck about us.
Johnson Taylor your incorrect thiers no difference in da struggle, do you think all da otha Latinos thiers no struggle ? So just Puerto rican s understand the struggle? We struggle as a poeple all Latinos included .most American s gruop us according to skin color most if us dont do it to ours selves 9x outa 10 this is the American way. We regualess of skin color or dna or country of origin share a commonality no matter what American whites or blacks say .its misinformed poeple that try to put us in a box to conform to the American racist, biased bigoted prejudice mentality that you all share
Oh by the way: I'm still looking for answers on why so many people are willing to talk shop with VLAD; what is his history with and contribution to the culture?
he use to be a mix tape DJ put a lot of shit out
Okay thanks.
Rap started in Italy in 1642. Most European countries were rapping by 1800.
American hip hop is new, it is still in its infancy
Lol hip hop) rap music started in West Africa thousands of years ago.
Try harder culture vulture
more divide and conquer from this Jew. this is the question he wanted to ask the whole time.
Malcolm X got a video where he is talking to a reporter, and the reporter asks Malcolm a question and then goes back and asks another black person to refute his point. this is the same game Vlad is playing between Lord Jamar and other black artists.
When did asking for people's honest opinions on controversial subjects become "divide and conquer"?
You and your conspiracies SMH you really need to chill, it's not that deep. He asked white rappers the same question, plus it's a controversial subject which draws views. It has nothing to do with him being a Jew, and he said he agreed with Lord Jamar in his sway interview so please sit down.
J. S. Green yeah i guess people see what they want to see
Malcolm X also was, by his own admission, just a racist puppet for Elijah Muhammad.
This is not Common this is someone else...Hollywood were did you put Common!? So I guess Lord Jamar is all by himself none of these so called "Grass Roots/Conscious "Real Hip Hop" artist" backs him on this. Now I'm questioning his catalogue not the quality of it but his Lyrical content if he truly felt what he was rapping about because this is confusing...RED FLAG!!!!
I agree with you 100%
Common is fake, ask ynot aka Tony one his former crew members from his early beginning. He just jumps on trends. One my peoples met him and no Id confirmed his bullshit.
One thing anout trayvon he was about 6-2 and 17 year old and wasn't the little kid the mainstream media portrayed him to be to stoke racial tensions and was practicing MMA fighter
Common is getting some negative and positive comments. But he sounds logical and introspective
Doesn't think that Whites are 'Guests in Hip Hop but I am sure he was a 'Guest' at the Oscars 2015.
THIS IS WHEN 'COMMON' THE RAPPER HAD SOME COMMON SENSE.
NOW HE'S JUST A COMMON UNCLE TOM!
When I think "culture vulture". A line of poetry comes to mind from the poet, Balzac. "Behind every great fortune there is a crime". Common has a right to his opinion. I stand with Jamar...…...
The problem with the world is how Africa (named by and after a so called white/caucasian man) real name alkebulan is not entirely black. Most so called africans are brown naturally. Brown can vary from light to dark. Just because some so called africans are not literally black skin doesnt necessarily mean that they are mixed. Their is in fact different phenotypes in africa including skin tones. Africans are the most diversified looking people on the planet. How many soo called white people are actually literally white? Most of them are not and just because some so called caucasian skin tones are darker doesn't necessarily mean that they are mixed either. Yes i beleive common is not fully so called african but he mostly is at least 70-80% and is more so called african then obama 50% even though he is around the same skin tone as him because non of commons parents are so called white. But his mother i would think is a biracial person that has so called white ancestry and possibly native american.
Ive never seen a dark melanated caucasion, explain further. Firsty all phenotypes exist within the Homosapien black original phenotype and can produce all. Not the other way around so any so called variation is just that. Those with some Hue like sicilians, greeks etc were never fully Anglo to begin with but mixed with the early black originators of antiquity. You can axctually research this because its REAL historic anthropological facts. Sorry but even the Hodge Twins on RUclips, look them up by the way. They are lighter in compexion than Common and have greenish eyes. Guess what, they are 65% hue man, meaning African dna. You are implying science that defies nature. Youre implying the caucasion recessive gene is dominant when it doesnt come close and is actually being absorbed. That is the testimony to its inherant recessive mishap to nature. The global population of caucasions is less than 20% and the rest of the world is more of less melanated.
You have a rapport to maintain, Common. Stop playin'.
true. it's all love but a line has to be drawn i think thats what jamar was saying. just like rock n roll is no longer black in any way cause no line was drawn. good thing is, the scene is friendlier now cause everyone is "supposedly" equal.
First Jazz was stolen from black, then rock n roll....next rap...we always wanna open our arms to everyone...then get mad when we have lose our ownership
JOHN S true and get mad when we realize whites don't accept blacks in their culture.
mynellemail Nell Black Folks we have no friends. No one wants to trade places with Black people.
The ignorance in this short discussion is amazing... nobody 'lost ownership'... most whites will accept anybody that's a kind spirited human... enough white people would want to trade places with black people, just depends on their position in life... I also know a lot of white people that no black person would want to trade lifes with.
The problem is that, everyone loves to hate us Black Folks. 💯
@Jamall Harris which white rappers?..there is only a handful...im sure a bunch more in the underground scene....
He "don't watch the Bulls too much
They got too many white boys"
Interesting lyric
RA the Rugged Man, Slain, Eminem, Apathy, Rittz, Vinnie Paz, Brother Ali, etc.
Speak to me when America gets a fully black president
Lmao that was definitely funny tho and kinda true
More excuses cause Obama was shit?
Fuck Obama
perfectiondark24 Yeah. You wouldn't understand...
Its not that he's not fully Black its just that he's a piece of shit. Hell Clinton did more for Black people then Obama has. Black unemployment was so low in the late 90's
Im gone pour out a lil liquor for the brother I used to know as COMMON!!!
The sad thing is these videos don’t circulate like the jamar or other shit that try to divide us
It pisses me off how little people have cared about the Justin beiber thing. That is easily as bad as the Paula seen thing and there's been nowhere near as much backlash
Common stay cooing, giving excuse without watching the tape. 😂😂😂😂
I respectfully disagree.
Unless hiphop gets revived by us promoting and listening to good rap not just party trash. Rap is taking the same path as rock and roll its a damn shame...
5 years later...Common is still right.
I see why he changed his name from common sense to common because he has no sense.
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
First off, Common is no pioneer in hip hop. He was lucky to get in. One can barely remember three of his songs.
Your opinion......(1. I used to love H.E.R (2. The light (3. Universal Mind Control
CHari Cooper Exactly. My opinion. Common isn't hip hop. He's a commercial fraud. He's an ACT OR/ imposter.
PharaohGoddess1 you're a funny girl...
***** deep??,...u want some deep roots....go study Dr. Henrick Clarke..Dr. Ben...Dr. Ivan Van Sertima, ,...Dr. Chiekh Anta Diop...etc..then you'll see just how "deep" the rabbit hole gets.
PharaohGoddess1 lol! You gotz to be a troll! No Egyptian Goddess could be that ignorant! Common's got a catalogue of great tracks eg- Resurrection, I used to love her, The light, Be, The Bitch in you. 6th Sense,to name a few. In fact all of the Like water for chocolate and Be album. You either must've been born yesterday, lived on a deserted island, or more to the truth, a troll hiding behind a Black persons profile pic!" facebook.com/MasGHiphop
brother Lord Jamar really didn't please the hip hop community with this Ignorant (lesson#7) comment.
No I definitely agree with Lord Jamar. Whites ARE guests in Hip Hop since black people created Hip Hop. And we as blacks MUST protect our culture or hip hop will be taken from us the same way Rock & Roll and even House Music was taken from blacks and is now credited to whites.
Common is too light skinned, no way he's full black. That's why he's saying this.
Common is brownskin not lightskin hes light cause the camera and he wears make up to
Bruh this nigga isn't full black telling you, he's not that dark
The dumbest comment I ever seen
Y'all are definetly some racists
5p33dk1nG
This has to be the dumbest comment of all year....in fact all decade
This is what happens u become Hollywood u become so call politically correct ska water down
Common is a good ass dude... respect!!!💯💯💯💯
Good way to protect them butter biscuits Common!
I see why Serena Williams dumped him.....#weakass
erykah badu did him dirty, dumped him for another man over the phone while he was in a hotel.. thats cold
C. L.K you could, how??
He went from Kerry Washington, Erykah Badu, Serena Williams to Laura Dern!!!! He went from sweet berries to sourkraut!!! Da Fuck!!!!
jzloveinfinite who's Laura Dern??
Destiny Williams White actress who played in the first Jurassic Park movie.
i like Common but he sounds weak minded here
You're right. Common is known as a conscious artist now he is saying whites are not guess. Of course he is going to say that now because white people are giving him paychecks to be in stupid movies.
Your going down an ugly road with this “guest” shit. If whites are a guest to hip hop then they can easily turn around and say well your a guest to this country. I would cut the “ guest” shit out. That mentality leads to blood shed in the end.
@@carloscesar8603 A radical departure on the part of the oppressed group leaves confusion in the mindsets of the dominant group left behind forcing this group to the initiative involving self-reflection. The dominant group would express these sentiments towards the "guests" (which in this case the Europids are also a guest in this country) but would rather as a whole to maintain the status quo. They loved themselves some slavery, share-cropping, cheap labor, etc..
Look into the annals of history in you'll see how many attempts and Back to Africa movements from the previous two centuries (not including Liberia) were crushed, undermined, and sabotaged by the US government....but why? (I answered this question myself already)
May have been created in the black culture , however is has connected so many cultures together to express themselves in this art form.
Everyone owns the house of hip hop in 2018, you could not say that in 1990.
Ummn yes u could. Beastie boys and fat boys were just as much pioneers as ll cool j
@@bobbywizdum5248 no they were not.
Yes it came from blacks and Latinos. Mostly blacks. But now it's international. Let get over that and make good music. That's what counts..
Like he said hip hop was the voice of struggle ... No matter the colour
If hip hop was only for black people it wouldn’t be as prominent it is today.
thumbnail look like Common was holding a spliff
Eminem isn't a guest guest hes the quarterback of rap music.
