UK rappers call Common a "racist beeyatch"
 

Bolded a lot of shit for those who don't like to read it all


In reaction to Common's recent comments disapproving of interracial dating, several heated UK rappers recorded a response track, where among other terms called the Chicago rapper "a racist beeyatch."

Common, an emcee known for his conscious image, recently revealed to Touch Magazine (The UK's leading urban music publication) that he objected to mixed race relations. He specifically said he opposed black men with dreadlocks dating white women because these men would be "going against what the dreadlocks purpose was."

After reading the interview rappers Rising Son, Yungun, and Doc Brown decided to address the comments rhyming over the beat for Common's "The Corner." All of the emcees come from mixed races and felt personally attacked.

On the track, titled "Dear Common (The Corner Dub)," Rising calls the Chicago emcee "a racist beeyatch." Yungun adds fuel to the fire spitting "I liked your words but it's hard to believe in 'em now/ and I'm a friendly type of guy I want peace to abound/ problem is though, if I ever see you around/ I'ma have to stop Rising from beating you down/ because he wants to slay ya/ show ya how you turn a concious rapper/ into a fully unconscious rapper." He continues saying. "I quote'sellout like a dred and a white girl,' shocking/ I thought that who you date is a personal option/ and who made you think you're the one that could stop them/ You said they sold out, well I guess you got something in common.

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?"

On the website, where the song is posted in its entirety, Hip-Hop heads have posted mixed reviews. One comment reads, "you may think he's being a hypocrite but I say he's being truthful and I can tell for a lot of people the truth hurts. "

oh really? well that sux, i bet common will not care

what you mean "that sux"?Common got what he deserved.How can you say black men with dreadlocks cannot date white women?There is no way to justify it.Blatant rasism.So why are you saying "that sux"?If you read all of the article it says that most of his fanbase in Uk is white.

And why do you think common will not care?

Cuz I think he should adress this to everyone.

lol ur right, i was just being stupid......idk man but u bring up a good point

he was talking about the rastafarian faith.......... not really getting on black/white relationships, just on those that ONLY get with white girls........ prejudice against your own iz the worst kind.....

UK is fucking dumb...why do they care? hes in the U.S., shut the fuck up and deal with it...why does what Common say actually matter to them? If Commons thoughts restrict them from marrying someone they want...then they have problems.

But if a white rapper was sayin its wrong to fuck blacks it would be different

No it wouldnt...why the fuck would you care what a rapper thinks? If you love a woman then you're gonna marry her reguardless...shut the fuck up and stop bitching about rappers and think for yourselves instead of thinking "if a rapper says this i guess we cant do it", jesus.

I understand what your saying about the race shit...but WHO CARES just ignore it if you dont like it, everyone has their own opinion.

word actually, i just said rapper to fit in with the story, its wrong if anyonesays it imo.

yea, it would be different...... but it's sorta the same thing....... if a white girl like tha black dick, she a whore..... it's not right, but life's a bitch. fuck it. oh, and don't any of the simple mafuckaz on this site call me rascist ever........ my ex iz white. jusdt statin the facts........

I didn't realize how dope UK rappers were. Thanks, Deranged.

I did, and get on msn and il send you some illy tracks!

yo I agree with the UK rapper here, common was wrong to say what he said any chance of a link to the website?

blowin shit way out of proportion....
