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 The website is nice, and they're trying to help, but the website seemed outdated.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!
SIDENOTE: Do you think Chicago artists do enough to help their community?

Ciara "Ride"
Okay... this is a nice attempt at a comeback (I like the 1st album Ciara better) but it's not good enough. I think she's trying a little too hard, and I like the song, but it's not great. It shouldn't of been a 1st single, maybe a 3rd or a 4th. Better luck next time.
