Either let this be an all out battle on wax or kill it before the new year. Enough with this Twitter bullshit.

No one saying Common is soft, ive heard all 9 of his albums and say he isn't
but Com didn't exactly have that 50 image..
See the Come Close video

Ya'll have got to stop defending this nigga Drake like this. It's sickening. Every nigga that goes at Drake ya'll try to find some flaw in them.

Common has "street" shit too, but so does Drake. Fail to see the difference...just because Drake is singing the shit makes it more soft?

The thing is Common was actually in the street though, Drake " street" shit is non believable. As far as Common gravitating towards more positive songs I think his music matured as he did.....

Here the thing
IMO Drake doesn't talk about respecting women, He talks about possible being a woman

If he could, every track would be him spitting from a female POV, No J Cole Lost Ones

lol...........
the perception of soft has changed, more shit is possible
but the come close video was one the softest things to come out of hip hop, w.o the existence of drake
and you know i was sitting here geeking out to that common concert like you was last night so you know I know my shit

An image doesn't make you tough. Just because Com ain't perpetuating a stereotype (a la 50 Cent), doesn't make him soft, he grew up in the same streets as 50 Cent.

cosign the shit out of this

 

[DarthRozay]

C'mon fam
you cool ppls and all but
even you cant believe this shit

While you was out chea thinking Common was just a nice man he was out there sparring with Cube. When has Drake ever done anything like that?

man thats only one instance out of a 20+ year career. be honest, the last 10 years common has always came off as that nice guy. that's not a bad thing, rap doesn't need to be over-filled with everyone trying to act like 50 cent. but still, common's mostly been that nice guy and had a couple softer moments in his career. i mean look at the cover for be. shit looks like an r&b album. i bet if you showed that to someone who didn't know who common was they'd think it was some r&b/soul album.

There usually is a flaw
This Common had a soft image has nothing to do with the argument actually
Don't know why I brought it up, my bad

co-sign all of this, even the cover for Ressurection

 

[bankrupt baller]

Drake aint street, he aint never been street, the boy is a child actor turned rapper.

common is a drug dealing thug turned rapper turned actor.

big fucking difference.

how the fuck drake able to talk bout the streets? and why the fuck are ya'll cosigning his fairytales?

"bro its just entertainment"

"bro he makes good music though"

"bro im gay so of course i like drake"

normal responses you will get from the bolded

 

[beerisgood4ya]

In before...Common is a real nigga, those love songs he made are ok because he's real, niggas in the street have always bumped Common like it was all good, with no qualms about it whatsoever

was common autotune singing on songs like flake though? Flake tucks his napkin like a mob boss and says su woo in songs, does common say corny shit like that? Has flake actually battled any of these rappers that he sneak dissed? Does flake want to be the next contestant being dissed with no vaseline on that summer jam screen?
