Gentleness and humility are not words you would normally use to describe a rap artist. But there are no better words to portray this icon in the true light. And you can’t speak of Lonnie Rashid Lynn, the artist better known as Common without mentioning his hit track ‘The light’. And if you have cared enough to digest the lyrics to the song – you would know what a music genius he is.
He released his autobiography about a week or so ago that has made its way to the New York Times best selling list. One Day It’ll All Make Sense is the title of his release and sheds light into his life, through his early life, the music industry, fatherhood, his relationship with Erykah Badu , even his controversial invitation to the White house and of late his acting.
Once it lands on our shores imma get a copy for myself. I’m no hip-hop\/rap fan but cliché "I appreciate the finer things in life". He is an understated legend in the game and from the mental image I have of him - i would like to read this book simply to get something unedited and raw - coming from a black mind and a black man's mouth.
One Day It'll All Make Sense
