b. Lonnie Rashied Lynn, Chicago, Illinois, USA. Originally recording under the expanded pseudonym Common Sense, Lynn is one of the more enlightened contemporary rappers, proffering a heady mix of verbiage and syncopated hip-hop rhythms. He made his debut in 1992 with Can I Borrow A Dollar?, a series of tracts on consumer identity with the occasional lapse into X-rated anatomical detail to make it a hit with the hardcore hip-hop audience.

By the advent of Resurrection in 1994, Lynn had abandoned some of the bloated misogyny of the debut, and the results were excellent.

(Submit New Common Lyrics) (Submit New Common Lyrics) Nice one | Reviewer: Yep ------ About the song The 6th Sense performed by Common What a song, this is some real music...

Much talent- | Reviewer: Kacey ------ About the song Drivin' Me Wild performed by Common This song, from the first beat to the last, is amazing. It is a great song, with the beat and lyrics together. Hope everyone appreciates it as much as I do! I am glad it was a gift for my ipod, so I can listen and hit repeat :o) I love this song! | Reviewer: Whitney and Richard ------ About the song The Light performed by Common This song puts all of my emotions into words, words that I could never find on my own.

IT'S AMAZING ESPECIALLY THESE LYRICS: "My life is one big rhyme, I try to scheme through it Through my shell, never knew what the divine would bring to it I'd be lying if I said I didn't want millions More than money saved, I wanna save children Dealing with alcoholism and afrocentricity A complex man drawn off of simplicity Reality is frisking me This industry will make you lose intensity The Common Sense in me remembers the basement I'm Morpheus in this hip-hop Matrix, exposing fake shit" wow | Reviewer: Elisa ------ About the song G.O.D. (Gaining One's Definition) performed by Common I love this song because it points out so many things that need to be talked about. Black people can't always blame white men for our short-comings. Not to say injustice does not happen but if fail to educate ourselves, we are responisble for our own short-comings. Common is lyrically brillant and so is Cee-lo.

It's just what it is, I'm so touched by this song. Common and Will.I.Am, did a great job together on this one. Brilliant. real hip hop | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song I Used To Love H.E.R. performed by Common defines the meaning of hip hop. i can understand the anger from the west coast because what he says about it is true. they made hip hop about being gangster, getting drunk, and smoking blunts and other fake shit. im from chicago so this next statement might be a little biased but most chicago rappers stick to the real meaning of hip hop. unlike the south and the west. the east is on the line. A Poet | Reviewer: Isnou ------ About the song I Used To Love H.E.R. performed by Common you already said everything: thats whats Hip Hop's about! he did it with his Soul, thats the real rap music. I thank God that brazilian rappers have this same felling Common have to rhyme.
