See this is the shit that makes me mad with hip hop reporting...anything negative gets press...."if it bleeds it leads"

This is a hip hop site and it should celebrate the good of hip hop...and this site does...however stories like this, I've noticed too many times on this site.....here's my point.............Common was gone......for hours he was gone......this has nothing to do with him........if there is a car accident on the street that Common was driving on hours earlier....why not report that too....come on now....

Your barber is supposed to visit you at home Common!

Damn ... I earn good money, all my haircusts would be done at home, forget that "hood" shit ... It's not getting rich and switching, it's survival.

You think George W Bush goes to his local barber shop in Texas for a haircut?

There comes a point in life you gotta think about what matters most and not what others think.

Every neighbourhood is someone's hood, but the "Ghetto mentality" which dwells in some "Hoods" is straight animal.

TonyMalibu — Tue, 28 Oct 2008 16:27:34 GMT

Man, the title of this article was VERY misleading. Had me thinking Common done got shot up or some shit. Dude was there hours before the mishap.

At any rate, I'm glad he wasn't there. Its an unfortunate situation for anyone to be in... but I guess I'm just happy that Common wasn't involved because he's a positive brother and losing that cat would be VERY devastating for the Hip Hop community.

I don't give a fuck how many times I see or hear about, I'll never get used to seein' my people diein'. It was all condolences, R.I.P.s, and 'this is so sad' for Jennifer Hudson's family but when it's a average n*gga on the street it ain't news. The fuck is wrong wit ya'll n*ggaz?

"In related news, Common’s latest album Universal Mind Control lands in stores December 9."

How is Common's album related to some random guy getting shot and killed? Please piece that together for me.

I AGREE WITH ALMOST EVERYBODY ON HERE AS FAR AS "WHAT THE HELL THIS GOT TO DO WITH THE PRICE OF RICE IN CHINA."

BUT AS FAR AS THE MURDER, TRUE ENOUGH WE NEED TO STOP SENSLESS KILLINGS LIKE THIS, BUT JUST LIKE IT'S FUCKED UP WHAT THEY DID, AND WE ODNT HAVE THE RIGHT TO BE HIS JUDGE AND JURY, GOD REST HIS SOUL, BUT I CAN'T HELP BUT WONDER WHAT HE DID TO MAKE SOMEBODY DUMP ON HIM LIKE THAT.

At least there were witnesses. I know you can get murked on a music video shoot in Fort Greene and yet NOT ONE person will really see anything.

But then at the same time, if you do try to help the cops, you'll either get touched by the killers or get labled a snitch and then get touched. Shit seems like a catch 22. What do y'all think?

Rice & Peace

naw you fools don't get it. God was with Common and Common listens to God...."Ignorance is bliss" Had Common not listened to God and got his haircut on cpt time, he would be dead and we would be putting up rip comments and saying stuff like "when is this pointless violence gonna stop" even though we can say it now. RIP to the homey that got got. "Ignorance is bliss"

Get ya news game right.

re: Rapper Common Narrowly Avoids Deadly Shooting

KOSGOD — Tue, 28 Oct 2008 23:18:18 GMT

LOL@FRESH-SHAUN:

God says to Common, "Common, het your hair cut now because there is going to be a shooting in a few hours and I don't want you to get killed....yet. I like your music by the way and thanks for shouting me out!"

Yea...right. Sorry but there was no "divine voice" speaking to dude. He just wasn't there..period.

I gotta say that this story is not very newsworthy...i''m quite the Common fan, but he was there a few hours prior...if there is any news story, it should be about the human that was brutally murdered...it's unfortunate

RIP to homie that died...but really? Is news that slow that ya'll gotta connect Common to this story? A few hours? A few minutes maybe...but that could still be 120 minutes or wutever. A couple hours could be 24. Get to work AHH. lolz.

re: Rapper Common Narrowly Avoids Deadly Shooting

go462 — Wed, 29 Oct 2008 05:26:12 GMT

but you know when common heard about this he was saying "damn i was just there a few hours ago." you know you'd be saying the same thing. "damn what a trip i was just there" i know i would. its like when an acquaintance dies and you think shit i was just talking to that guy last week. i dunno. makes sense to me :) sad story tho

re: Rapper Common Narrowly Avoids Deadly Shooting

Cmacjb — Wed, 29 Oct 2008 06:02:35 GMT

Damn niggas still posted up on the block shotting each other SMH. Glad to hear Common wasn't getting his hair cut at the time.

re: Rapper Common Narrowly Avoids Deadly Shooting

Waddupcouzin — Wed, 29 Oct 2008 07:12:27 GMT

Haircut? Isn't Common Bald or badly receding? Tightening his beard up, I can see that, but a haircut...LOL.

re: Rapper Common Narrowly Avoids Deadly Shooting

re: Rapper Common Narrowly Avoids Deadly Shooting

Latino Power — Wed, 29 Oct 2008 11:14:07 GMT

I mean its good Common wasnt hurt and is still in the hood, and it shows how it could of gon wrong PERO wen i see the headline "Common narrowly avoids dealy shooting" im thinking that he was the target or that stray bullets came close to him. Not this shit.

re: Rapper Common Narrowly Avoids Deadly Shooting

SouthernThick — Wed, 29 Oct 2008 13:01:22 GMT

This is a non-story if it is suppose to be about Common..."nearly a witness." There to be a section for tidbits and you mention, stuff like this.

re: Rapper Common Narrowly Avoids Deadly Shooting

Smokin420Aces — Wed, 29 Oct 2008 17:38:00 GMT

@ Everyone

Have we become so desensitized to violence that it aint news? It does not matter if Common was a regular Joe Plumber..Any Black Man murdered is news. Whether he had it coming or not.

I am not preaching against retaliation (because contrary to what people say, I heard that it is gratifying..real talk)..

You never know what people in life earned for their actions. He could have molested kids, or even killed someones family member, raped someones sister etc..He could have done the unthinkable and they cant take them to court on hearsay. But Credible Hearsay is good enough to get the justice rolling in the streets. And that still would be news to some. If it were the cat from the J Hudson episode...cats would feel a little better (I know that I would)..But I could be wrong LOL
