"HipHopSite: You came into hip-hop during the golden era; what do you think you represent from that?

Common: I represent the spirit of what MCing is. I feel that I can bring the MC that can talk about spirituality, that can talk about love, that can talk about God, that can talk about streets, that can talk about other MCs, that uses his imagination, that's creative, that has a hunger. I feel that I'm one of those brings that to present-day hip-hop."
