00:00Hey Common, wonderful to see you, how are you?
00:06You think that you might be proposing to Ms. Jihad any time soon?
00:09Man, I got a new album coming out.
00:12You do?
00:13I'm proposing to this music, like me and P-Rock got a new album.
00:17Oh really?
00:18Yeah, it's dropping.
00:19When do we expect it?
00:20In the summer.
00:21Okay.
00:22But right now it's a single coming out called Wise Up, so look out for that, I'm proposing
00:26to that.
00:27Can we just ask you one question, obviously you've seen the horrible stuff with B-Diddy,
00:32do you have any thoughts on that?
00:33I haven't seen it, I don't like looking at a lot of things that, you know, I don't watch
00:34videos of things that I feel are going to bring the right energy for me, but you know,
00:45God bless, God bless to me, I don't watch those, so I can't, you know, I'm about love,
00:55you know that, I'm about peace, I'm about respecting human beings, that's one thing,
01:02no matter who you are, I feel like that's something that I demand and expect and want
01:09to be.
01:10Do you feel like he should get a second chance in music, or should we not be listening to
01:16him anymore?
01:17Can I say this, I don't have authority, I'm a child of God, so I don't believe it, I have
01:24the position of power to judge or decide if someone deserves this or not, that's between
01:33the creator and them, you know, I just try to be as good a person as I can be and be
01:38as loving and respectful to others, and I'm not perfect, but I try to be, like, look out
01:44for that new music, keep spreading love, we need love out here, you know.
01:49Thank you Common!
