If there is someone who deserves the moniker "cerebral rapper" it is Lonnie Rashid Lynn Jr. popularly, not commonly referred to as Common formerly Comonsense. that plus his sexy smooth style and pate make this a brother who just invites women to lust. This Chicago rapper is anything but common with his soulful style and his straight talking lyrics. It must have been his mother educator Mahila Ann Hines who raised him to be so sensible. then again he must have gotten his moves from his dad a former ABA basketball player. lonnie Lynn, Snr.
Some of you might have heard of Common when he was doing his thing with Erykah Badu. Now I have nothing against Erykah but somehow despite their grammy winning R&B song Love of My Life (An Ode to Hip-Hop Erykah didn't seem to take Common to where he needed to be. Those of you ladies who love the sexy bald men, have a prize right here, but last thing I heard he was with Serena.
This brother has been performing as a rapper since the early 90's coming out with Like Water for Chocolate, , and Universal Mind Control. then there has been his foray into acting. Didn't you see him in American Gangster.Watch out for him in soon.
