Not So Common Talent



Last night I had the privilege of attending one of the best concerts I have ever been to. Common was nothing short of amazing last night. The concert didn't start off so great though. From taking two hours to get seated all the way to bad opening acts by the locals. It seemed doomed from the start. Pleasure P came and did a pretty good job at entertaining the crowd, but I couldn't help but to notice he was singing others music and drinking what looked like syrup the entire time. 
Common came and saved the show. He came with fire from beginning to the end. The energy he brought was amazing; especially since the crowd wasn't all that big. Last night Common really did his thing. For everyone who loves rap and hip hop they need to check him out. He is a positive rapper who speaks of empowerment and has a real message. He also is an amazing lyricist. His name is Common but the talent he has is not so common amongst some of the rappers these days. Oh yeah and he had a nice bottle of Dasani water the whole night that he was sipping on, no need for all that extra stuff to perform.
