    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

    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.

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

    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. ? 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.

    In before...Common is a real ? , those love songs he made are ok because he's real, ? 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 ? 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?

    Im not saying Common is soft, he's definetely not
    Im saying before Drake, Common had the niceguy rapper image
    An image does't make you tough you're right
    but its something you use as your template though

    The ? is the point of going at a ? you know not built for it and more than likely will try his best to resolve it peacefully? You get enjoyment out of watching a weakling get bullied? I don't understand this mentality.

    My ? is, Drake has been talking mad ? these last couple of months to Kanye, Jay, Big Sean,etc. If you're gonna instigate ? and throw rocks, don't hide your hands and try to play the victim role. I don't know who is gassing this dude, i guess he is buying into his Nelly hype.

    see, this what im talking about, let drake fight his own battles!
    he got bold on stage right?
    Com going at drake solo but why drake got his bodyguards coming at common? and with some ? ???
    ? stay trying to re-write history.

    ya'll go head and keep believing that Common was on some trickin ? ...
    common aint never cosigned trickin and or being a punk ass ? in your lyrics.

    real post...As far as love songs, yea Common has some, but he's still rapping on them, not singing. And Com is battle-rap tested, while Drizzy is a songwriter!! Com been battling cats damn near as long as Drake's been alive. So if Drake wanna take it there, he probably would try to play the "tough Tony" role, which would be a bad move cuz he would get EXPOSED

    Common doesn't have a soft image. Common's image is more of somebody whose learned from their mistakes and is now trying to better himself and influence those around him, while still knowing he had the strength in him to go at a ? 's head if he has to. Drake is just a straight up ? whose been hanging around Birdman.

    bet most ya'll ? was mad when Luda went at this ? ? for running his mouth.

    so let me get this straight, you young ? aint held accountable for your actions no more?
    when the ? did we stopped checking folks for talking wreckless? what the ? is going on in hip hop!?!?!

    YALL ? SHOULD BE EXCITED INSTEAD OF COPPIN PLEAS FOR DUDE!!!

    HIP HOP NEEDS THIS ? RIGHT NOW!!!

    Common is a legend, who's like 2 generations above drake
    Drake can't handle himself really
    he could spit ether, if he';s even capable of that
    and he'd get no respect, cause its not believable
