*Several rappers in the UK are not
happy with Common following his
comments regarding interracial relationships
made during a magazine interview. In
response, Rising Son, Yungun and Doc
Brown have recorded Dear Common (The
Corner Dub), which calls the Chicago
rapper, among other things, a racist b*tch.
In the interview with Touch magazine
to promote his new album Be, Common
voiced his disapproval of mixed race
relationships and frowned upon blacks
with dreadlocks dating white women,
stating that those men would be "going
against what the dreadlock's purpose was."
The three UK MCs, all of mixed race, took
much offense.
There was all this sh*t he was talking
in there about mixed race couples and how
its wrong and I was just like, Nah man,
he cant really say that. Theres mixed
race people out there, thats wrong, Rising
Son told the web site The Situation. So
I called up Doc Brown and Yungun and
said, My mans slating our race! So they
went away and wrote their verses and
I was like, Im gonna deal with him on
his own track.
Snatching Commons beat from his
recent single The Corner, Rising says
on the first verse: Rastafarianism doesnt
promote separatism/ I know white women
who have converted to the religion/ They
recognize African history as the truth so
be it/ My father used to take me twelve
tribes meetings, I used to see it.
Rising also refers to Common as a
"racist bitch" and spits, "I predict the future
is mixed/Marking the end of all this racism
sh*t."
Yungun says on his verse: "Black
and white used to drink from different taps/
And you should know 'cause your album
had a picture of that/ So when you say that
you're showing how a hypocrite acts/ Now
I ain't dissing this cat, I'm only spitting the
facts."
He needs to be careful because no
matter what his opinions are, hes still got
a lot of white fans, said Rising. He comes
over here and does gigs here; most of his
fan base here is white. I mean, who was
that Electric Circus album aimed at? That
wasnt aimed at no one in no ghetto, that
wasnt aimed at no black people, that
wasnt a black album. If he keeps wanting
to use the term sell out, what was that
album all about?
