In a different universe, where conservative culture warriors listened to music before demonizing it, Common would perform at pro-life rallies. Take his famous duet with The Fugees' Lauryn Hill, Retrospect for Life, which strongly questions abortion. "Musta really thought I was God to take the life of my son," he raps, "from now on, I'm using self-control, instead of birth control, because $315 aint worth your soul." The last line, comparing the cost of an abortion to the value of life, is a repeating hook. Common also uses the song to dialogue with his unborn child, saying "Knowing you the best part of life, do I have the right to take yours?" and lamenting the thought of turning his "woman's womb into a tomb."
so apparently he's a vegan, is mature enough to stop using anti-gay lyrics and generally seems concerned about more than just "bitchezzzz n dough, yo"
I haven't read the lyrics of this supposed cop-killer song or whatever, but I imagine it's not worse than some RATM songs. I love Rage Against The Machine, but my politics are pretty out of line with theirs. Don't have to support their ideologies to enjoy their music.
Fine then say that. You're being inflammatory for no reason. I happen to agree in principle with you. Your tactics though leave a lot to be desired and take away from what otherwise would be a good point.
My tactics are what they are. And although i appreciate the advice, i'll stick to my original sentiments.
I'd like to see a rogue cop put a bullet in common.
