To refer to Common's lyrics as "raunchy", "rough" and "raw" (that I do agree with) and describe him as a "promoter of cop killing" and worse yet, a "misogynist", shows just how disconnected and purposely-misinformed some people are.  

One can easily illegally download purchase a copy of any of his albums 

to verify the source, but I understand that I may be asking for too much. Instead, just listen to Common's spoken word on this video clip, accompanied by Toure's educational rant and you'll be up to speed in no time.

Big ups to the network who shone a light on one of the best kept secrets in entertainment. All press is good press and "at the end of the day", you did all of us (mostly Common) a huge favor.
