Rapper Common
We induct the Rapper Common into the Hall of Shame because his rap supports violence, specifically the killing of police officers. Rap, which is not music, is in our Hall of Shame in general. It is a style of rhythmic talking that encourages violence, drugs, and sex, including sexual violence. It is among to most offensive and disrespectful to women. Rap, as a whole, and as a genre of music has no value. Common claims to be Christian, but faith is proven by its fruits.
