Loni Rashid Lin jr. was born March 13th
1972 in Chicago Illinois in his youth
his high school rap trio cd-r opened for
hip hop heavyweights like NWA and Big
Daddy Kane in 1992 Lin signed a record
deal with relativity records and
released his first single take it easy

Godwin possessed by patterns that be
scattered over the global my vocals me
traveling arrival in my abdomen it’s
rawness babbling dramatic side of
masculine I grabbed him in 1994’s
Resurrection was a critical success and
was named his defining record the album
standout single was I used to love her
in which the rapper speaks to hip hop as
if it were a woman let’s disco when I
was two
what I love most she had so much so she
results with I was just assured he never
throughout my life she would be there
for me the song has been commonly upheld
as one of his all-time greatest as well
as one of the best recordings in hip-hop
history despite this acclaim the song
created friction between common-sense
and rap group Westside Connection which
fell so where it’s insulting West Coast
rests the rivals then released a series
of diss tracks but eventually settled
their differences at the insistence of
Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan
in 1997 he released his third album one
day it’ll all make sense under the
shortened moniker comments following
legal action by a California reggae band
called common sense the critically
successful disc featured collaborations
with artists such as cannabis Lauryn
Hill and the roots drummer Questlove
after signing with MCA records and
moving to New York Commons started
recording with the sole Aquarians in
1999 the musical collective was
comprised of artists like mos def q-tip
Erykah Badu J Dilla
and Questlove Commons critical and
commercial breakthrough was 2000’s
gold-certified
Like Water for Chocolate it’s and Paul
and we communicate and soon the fate
others Juliet’s the right pitch I never
called you much to even my poo there’s
so much in the name is so much more than
you
the single delight was included on that
record and received heavy rotation on
MTV up next was the boundary-pushing but
less commercially successful effort
Electric Circus
then came 2005 well received B which
reached the second spot on the Billboard
200 charts the disc produced the single
go featuring John Mayer and Kanye West
on channel 3 everybody run back to your
fantasy Go Go and on a count of three
2007’s finding forever top the Billboard
200 chart and sold 155 thousand copies
in its first week the next year the gold
certified album also want a Grammy for a
track featuring Kanye West
just aghast bamboo to start like
checkpoint the way I get back boss
also in 2008 come and drop the album
universal mind control to mixed reviews
during the last years of the decade
common began appearing on the big screen
in 2007 he was seen in the crime movies
smokin aces and American Gangster the
next year he had roles in the action
film Street Kings and wanted you need to
know what it’s like to put a bullet in a
body before returning to music common
also acted in the film’s Terminator
Salvation date night and just right but
you don’t even know me I want to know
2011 saw the release of the no I D
produced the dreamer the believer I’ll
neva say shit she can villain
I’m dr. Willis so Nelson critic
maybe it’s skillet
besides the single ghetto dreams the top
20 record contained the track suite
which saw common taking shots at rapper
Drake as a result the two traded barbs
in song form for a few months until
common ended the beef at the 2012 Grammy
Awards kind of over now it’s over so but
you know it was all in the other hip hop
beat he said some things to me so I had
to say some things back in addition to
music and acting common dabbled in
modeling and fashion and even published
a memoir he has been a spokesperson for
several brands supported various social
causes and he established the common
ground foundation for disadvantaged
children despite his philanthropy common
has been involved in scandal in 2011 a
media storm erupted when he was invited
to the White House for a poetry reading
by first lady Michelle Obama
due to his sometimes controversial
lyrics with his smooth flow and poetic
lyrics common paint vivid imagery with
his words in a genre where one-hit
wonders and superficial lyrics reign
supreme
he is abreast of fresh air so when you
look at Lonnie Rashid Lin juniors love
and respect for hip-hop you realize
there is really nothing common about him
and on the count of three everybody run
back to your fantasy now
