tonchts borrow the name of one rapper this is ludicrous. calling common a gangster rapper is like calling elizabeth taylor a porn star. it's like suggesting that bruce springsteen was a heavy metal artist. this is a nonstarter. it's a fake controversy. this is a way, ed, of the right wing trying to make it truly the right house and trying to blacken barack obama. the birther controversy first. after that bin laden. and now blackening him by association with common because they got to find a way to, if you will, besmirch his character and to smudge the clear picture of him as a true american representing the heroic gesture of protecting the nation. now the kind of psychic distortion that the right wing suffers causes them to as2you say scrape the bottom of the barrel to suggest that common, one of the most eloquent, uplifting, positive, edifying rappers around ever is now a gangster rapper. it is ludicrous to begin with.
