Now that you bring him up, I mean both. From your pic, you don't look that old enough to know how Al, or Jesse spoke back in the day. They both switched up when they started running for Gov. offices.
And he is from the Chi, and what I'm saying is that he speaks differently now that he's a Hollywood star, and a visitor to the white house. Listen to his cut Chi-City, then listen to his award acceptance speech about the two NY cops that got shot.
Peace bruh!!!

I still can't get over this damm comment though... come on Com!
He is a better lyricist than a speaker, this it my hope.
As Salaam Alaikum! !!!!
I grew up on Common he is one of my favorites and still is when it comes to music.
I didn't here them in the 60's. A lot of what I have today is from YouTube and books. But majority of those who were in those times caved under pressure and sold themselves.
