How come Common never blew up like that?

[AlbertPullhoez]

Do Or Die should've blew up more than Common

I was born in early 90’s so excuse my ignorance.

I was born in 92.

You just have to listen to more hip hop.

Negra What!

I was born in early 90’s so excuse my ignorance.

Speak on the 2000s and 2010s. I was born in the 80s and couldn’t tell you a thing about the 80s, let alone speak confidently. I can tell you about the 90s and 2000s though because that’s when I grew up.

Do Or Die should've blew up more than Common

Do or die made black music and was popular in the black community

I can’t imagine cac’s liking their music

 

[ReturnOfJudah]

Because he don't rap about killing nikkas and dope

 

[Wargames]

Common was a superstar rapper, he has 4 classic albums, and made bread as an actor.

I mean it doesn’t get much better unless he went and sold out to billionaires to promote something like a stadium or a casino.

Hell his last album was really good too.

 

[⠀X ⠀]

Wasn’t he Queen Latifah’s love interest in a major movie?

And I remember The Light and Come close being played on BET, all the time.

 

[Doobie Doo]

I mean Common went as far as a he can with his style of rap. He's my personal favorite mc but he's never going to attain Jay-Z, Drake status off the type of music he does. He's never going to pack a stadium as a solo headliner.

He's got hits, plaques, classics and industry respect and now he's getting tv/movie $$$. He's done all he can

 

[Turtle]

Be was a pretty big album and he was in lots of movies so idk what you mean
