Common Talks With Maxim.com

Maxim.com caught up with Common for a Q&A, asking the rapper, starring in the current release ‘American Gangster’, and asked the Chicago MC about why he’s branching off outside hip hop. “Every individual has their path,” he said. “I don’t care if you rap, it doesn’t mean you’ll be a good actor.
