Common’s Northwestern freestyle, on video
If you stayed inside finishing off that handle of vodka during Common’s performance on Dillo Day, you missed his freestyle rap about Northwestern. Some good soul went ahead and filmed the rap, then slapped it up on YouTube.
Pretty neat, and always a good time seeing a celebrity wearing an NU sweatshirt. Some of it seems a bit weird (why a shout-out to Bobb? Flat Top? Can’t find a word that rhymes with Chipotle?), but cute all the same. Also, does anyone jump in the lake at midnight? Further more, did the people who cheered for the Smokin’ Aces line actually see that movie? It sucked.
And hey, Common hates Bush! So do I! It’s a shame Obama isn’t running against Bush!
