The Common Episode by The Combat Jack Show published on 2014-07-08T10:17:29Z 90 minutes wasn't enough time. On the eve of releasing his tenth album 'Nobody's Smiling', Common revisits his days growing up in Chicago, being inspired by Michael Jordan, house music, Chicago mayor Harold Washington, Rev. Jeremiah Wright and how this album addresses the current plight of black on black crime in the windy city. Also, what it means to reunite with No I.D., being haunted by the ghost of Emmett Til and the very real and deep mystical powers of the phenomena known as "Badu Box". So much wasn't covered, 90 minutes wasn't enough, but you won't hear this type of Common interview anywhere else on the planet.

There are so many more that should be cultivated, but like Common said earlier it takes that person who has a chance to speak on the mic to express those truths. In the end its their views that people value and try to mimic. Like Wiz Khalifa and chuck taylors. Nobody card about chucks like that until Wiz came on the scene and you don't see people killing each other over those. 2014/07/08 18:55:25 +0000 Comment by DJ GoldLace COMMON!!!!!! 2014/07/08 18:19:11 +0000 Comment by Versis dang, he talked about that bike on "nuthin to do" 2014/07/08 17:15:51 +0000 Comment by Grome24 This went in a direction I would have never expected....
