Common Sucks

Tonight, Common was on two channels at once, being interviewed by Tavis Smiley on PBS and Jimmy Kimmel on ABC. In both interviews, within a span of about two minutes of each other, he says, "I'm like his right-hand man," referring to his role aside Christian Bale, in the new Terminator movie. Not only do both interviews feel like their scripted, Common seems like he's struggling to remember his lines or speak in general. On PBS, in reference to his role in Terminator, he said, "the machines we're fighting against is so symbolic for stuff." That line is verbatim. Also, worth noting: Queen Latifa and Common are to star in a romantic comedy together. For someone who is supposed to be a well-spoken, poetic-type rapper, he seems like a bumbling fool on both of these shows.
