Well,they care becuase UK is populated with whites.And by Common saying that,it kinda makes the whites look inferiour.And then that could also be taken as a knock on the country as a whole. And you say common is in U.S..so what he says doesn't matter to those in UK?I guess you must have read only the bolded,like mystic.Cuz the article reads... "Furthermore Rising had this to say about the windy city representative, "he needs to be careful because no matter what his opinions are, he's still got a lot of white fans. He comes over here and does gigs here; most of his fan base here is white. I mean, who was that 'Electric Circus' album aimed at? That wasn't aimed at no one in no ghetto, that wasn't aimed at no black people, that wasn't a black album. If he keeps wanting to use the term sell out, what was that album all about" So..while common is a US rapper..he still promotes his album,performs his songs,and sells his shit in UK.So for common to get money off these people and then turn around and say this,it makes him look ungrateful.He still needs sales in the UK.It's not like the people there don't matter to his career Quote:
Why would people care about what a rapper thinks?Because of the influence the have on culture.People follow what these rappers do.And also,whatever a rapper says,it will be heard by the masses.And then people will get offended.Offended enough,that they'll get to the point where they can't ignore it.This whole "rapper means nothing" has been talked about countless times.Like it or not,as a rapper,they need to watch what they say.And Yes,it is just his opinion.But sometimes opinions need to be kept to yourself.Common should have kept his mouth shut.If common said that about my race,I'd get mad too. |
