With an already extensive repertoire under his belt, Common has shown that he has quite a bit of range when it comes to fishing beyond his original boundaries as a hip-hop artist. From his early days as a writer and performer, Common has stood out as being very different from the norm when it comes to what is perceived as a rap artist. His slow and storytelling flow is purely focused more on message than flash without substance. Now, keeping with that same method of operations, Common recently starred in the movie LUV — in which his character is a role model to his young nephew.
It’s fairly safe to say that even aside from this movie, Common could be considered quite a role model in real life; his rap lyrics are considered neosoul and almost spiritual, and his movie roles have tended to lean in towards the positive — not to mention his activities outside of the studio and Hollywood — where he lives a relatively quiet and unassuming life.
Though he hasn’t produced a steady string of blockbuster movies, he has made important contributions to the film industry. Aside from LUV, he has also starred in a slew of other movies that covered very diverse subject matters. Click continue to see which ones.
