    I think dave totally dropped the ball on this one. He let common steamroll right over him. This part disappointed me:




    Letterman: ???Yeah, but I think there???s something, those gay sweaters you wear. I'm not sure that it's, cool, I don't think that you represent an objective hip hop viewpoint.???

    Common: ???Well, you???re going to have to give me an example if you're going to make those claims.???

    Letterman: ???Well I don???t watch your videos so that would be impossible.???

    Common: ???Then why would you come to that conclusion about my gay sweaters if you don't watch the videos????

    Letterman: ???Because of things that I???ve read, things that I know.???

    Exactly, if Letterman expects to truly son Common, he's going to
    have to come to the table armed with examples of corny punchlines
    and tired rhyme schemes, as well as photos of Common wearing
    various garish Kufis, Shawls and 21st-Century Cosby sweaters.
    Also Letterman could ask, simply, "how do you get that soft sound?"

    ...or just reach over his desk, grab hold of his collar with one hand, and strike him about the face with the other.

    I thought that was pretty cool.

    Soulful shit is obviously just too pussy for some. Wish I was a hard cunt 24/7. I'd feel chuffed with myself.
    But then how many dudes did Curtis (Mayfield not Jackson...aiight!) punch out...?

    I was thinking the same thing. I read that article. Just a bunch of shit I already knew.

    Common nominated for 5 Grammys[/b]!



    I don't give a damn what anyone says, that sounded good (although I did hear a couple of suspect notes especially when dude kept on with his solo and the rest of the band made that key change ).
