Yes, yes, this is another Common post. But this features some vintage Common, so it’s a little different, right? Eh, whatever. Here a younger, finer Rashid, still going by the name Common Sense, is interviewed on BET on a show called Video LP. They’re discussing songs from Can I Borrow a Dollar?, so I imagine this is 1992-ish. That would make me 7-ish years old at the time. Good. Lawd.

Anywho, I thought it was interesting hearing Common talk about his sound and explain his reasoning behind Heidi Hoe, arguably the most misogynist song he’s ever written (he basically chalks it up to “some women are bitches”). Ah, youth. Also, the host refers to Common as the phattest rapper out there, and keeps using “phat” with a straight face. This made me laugh and cringe all at the same time. I heart the 90’s.
