Common Speaks On New Book & Being Socially Conscious. Says Nas Is The Best Rapper Alive [Video]
Video After The Jump
Common sat down for an interview with MSNBC's "Morning Joe" today to discuss his new memoir One Day It’ll All Make Sense.
The Chicago rapper/actor talked about what inspired him to write the book, his mom being his best friend, being labeled a "socially conscious" rapper, and Nas being the best rapper alive.
“Nas is so poetic with it and I feel like his lyrics, you can write ‘em down on paper and they will last for time," Common said. "It would be like literature that we read."
The two recently linked up for the song "Ghetto Dreams," which is the first single for Common's upcoming 9th studio album The Dreamer, The Believer, due out later this year.

I got nothin against Nas at all but maybe if he put some new material out maybe I can agree. Anybody can have a few legendary albums or style but he jus not "IN" in my case. At least Em got other projects in the works.

@ Dee i guess your only talking black rappers. Because if i can count Em is going pretty far out there aswell. Regardless if you can create yourself out of the norm or the box like they say and bring your own sound or influence your not going to last which is also including the evolution of an artist. Snoop Dogg is the most relevant and consistant rapper in the game yet we dont give him his props. Well i do but most dont. Anyway like Xzibit says only 5% are real ill the rest well..
