This clip is "clearly dope"

Coffee....?....leaded?..... at this time of night, Mum - not advisable.... but go on then.

Tell you what, right, I'd be right up for a bit more of the Kirk if they offered up this kinda thing each week.

The Reverend asks him to come up and freestyle using the the previous night's sermon as subject matter. Puts him right on the spot.
The Common delivers it on New Year's Eve to the Chicago Trinity United Church of Christ Night Watch service. Keep watching - do you think Barack Obama can count on all these folks' vote? For sure.

The Southside of Chicago is bursting with success stories more and more these days: Obama, Kanye, Common, Fall Out Boy, Oprah (how much dough has she got!? And her influence on the sale of books carries considerably more weight than Judy Finnegan's. Sorry Judy, uncalled for ;-) ) and Lupe Fiasco (new album out that I ain't heard yet).

I gotta go visit. They've had Irvine Welsh lecturing students in Chicago after all. They'll be prepared for me!
