    If your not going to be an icon like Beyonce, than it’s best to learn how to act. There is more money in film and its more stable than the music industry. I feel like Common’s music career will be long lasting, as for his acting career…he needs more work!

    he’s just delicious!!!!! I’d pay to see him in a movie, even if he sucks as an actor!
