I've always liked Common, since like back in the day, although his ish is kind of sappy sometimes. The man can still flow and he is talented

MTV PLAYS COMMON 24/7 THESE DAYS AND ITS DRIVING ME CRAZY!!!!!!

I mean come on... every commercial break, its on every ad for every show they are promoting, the credits for every show, etc... that damn 'driving me wild' song is the theme for everything. they were playing it on the tila tequila show. for those of you who have been common fans, doesn't that just seem wrong on so many levels?

I guess I'm glad to see a really talented rapper come up instead of crap like dem franchize boyz geting all the play..... but holy ****... Common Sense (as he was called for those of u who didn't know) is now doing all these GAP ads, did a starbucks tour, and is now the posterboy for the commercialization of hiphop. I won't go as far as saying he sold out because his music doesnt suck (yet), but you gotta wonder if the money is going to go to his head. Maybe soon, all those endorsements will be more important to him than making good music and he will fall off like LLCoolJ.

is this a good thing or bad thing for hiphop?

Thoughts?
