Common stopped by the Wendy Williams Show today to promote "Just Wright" (which I saw, and loved). While on the couch he talked about being a ball boy for the Bulls, Serena Williams, and the
Common Ground Foundation. The foundation's goal is to help and empower Chicago's youth (especially since we have an increased amount of violence occurring in our city). Before today, I haven't heard of the foundation, so I decided to check it out. The website is nice, and they're trying to help, but the website seemed outdated. With the internet being a quick source of news, and events for a lot of people, something this important should be updated on the regular.
But don't get me wrong, I do applaud Common for taking a stand and helping our youth. We have to stand up and make a change, because if we do nothing, it makes it seem as if there isn't a problem. STAND UP CHICAGO!

I believe that POSITIVE artists will always do something to help our community- Common and Lupe being among the few of them.
Your blog is growing wings and taking off. I love it!
