The acting career of Common poses a very
interesting paradox to his job as an MC. Getting Common on your song is an

He's such an incredible artist in general, its only natural to reach out for that acting paper. Like Malibu said, he's one of the few MCs who, when I see his name on a movie I don't automatically think it will suck. Thats the trend too often with other rappers turned actor. They get a part for a film that would never sell otherwise and their name is add to try and give it that &amp;quot;urban&amp;quot; credibility.&lt;br&gt;Keep doin what your doin Common. One of my favorite MCs hands down.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;www.digitalgrime.com || The Hip Hop Myspace</description></item><item><title>re: Common: Leaps and Bounds - Hip-Hop to Hollywood and Back</title><link>http://allhiphop.com/stories/lifestylefilm/archive/2008/07/09/20271091.aspx#20289942</link><pubDate>Sun, 13 Jul 2008 19:28:06 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">0ab0b95d-286f-42d5-ba9b-6086957539ea:20289942</guid><dc:creator>Stuart Hallick</dc:creator><description>Props to Common.
