UNCOMMON COMMITMENT Since is girl might be too busy with tennis for him, Common finding some very worthwhile things to do with his time when he's not in the studio or on a movie set. He has launched a national online book club for kids ages 13-18 called The Corner. The club focuses on books that "that promote messages of tolerance, compassion and nonviolent expressions of achieving social justice."
I love Common even more now!
Oh my! A rapper associating himself with books and reading! :-0 I am floored!
Good work Common, let this be a trend with other rappers (Like hating women. Sorry, Had to put that in, common does not, but most do)
Loving it.
I want to join this book club although I am over 18.
Are rapers going to recommend a new book every month. You would be surprised how many teenagers would pick up books if there favorite stars are reading or have read them. Look at the way that street lit has taken off. It may not be Baldwin or Wright but it at least has them reading. Before someone says it, I am well aware that street lit is not good reading material.
