Common spreads a little greatness

Common waltzed into the Hendricks Chapel and our hearts with an exhilarating freestyle rap that had the crowd energized and ready to listen.

The 38-year-old Chicago rapper spoke of finding your own greatness by “finding your path, believing in your path, living your path, and working hard.”

The student-dominated audience wasn’t sure what persona Common would adopt when he took the stage. Would he be the creative rap artist that helped make him famous or the inspirational storyteller with a message?

Well in the end, he was both.
