That just sounds like an awkward conversation lol

"omg I love your music!"

"thanks...."

Then what? lol

Is Common going to pay the $5/mo, or is he going to bolt after the free period is over too?

"Approximate retail value is $10 US."

the value should be a $1 due to Common's relevance in today's music scene.

is there a contest to reduce to zero the possibility of conversing with this fellow?

I'd rather bbm with anyone from BGR

Common is a talented rapper. The problem is I've used up all my 50 song on BBM music and I didn't add any of his music because I own most of his CD's already.

Oooo I could ask him questions about the show Hell on Wheels.

watch your mouth... dude is a legend. seriously what have you accomplished in your life to say such a thing? anyway i won the contest and im looking forward to chatting up with common sunday night.

Ummm I'm pretty sure almost everyone on this thread has done more in life than Common. Unlike you, we probably don't put musicians and actors on a pedestal.

The only thing Common has achieved in his life is being a second-rate "rapper" at the time that hip-hop and rap really took off.

He used his slight fame as a rapper to get small acting roles.

Dude is a legend? Not in my book, or most of the people here. But have fun in the contest, you talk as if it's the highlight of your life.

Half you probably do not know how common is. He is a legend in the hip hop community with songs with depth and positiveness. He as also played in TV and movies. He currently is on the new AMC show Hell On Wheels. Which is really good. Plus this also shows how RIM is trying to really show the social aspect of bbm and bbm music. With all the celebs that use Berries never know where this kind of fan interaction will go in reintroducing the brand to the people.

this is the worst idea for a contest i've ever seen. even if you love Common, why would you want to BBM with him? At least setup an actual phone call so the winner can have a real experience to remember, not a stupid bbm chat.
