Maya Angelou Isn’t Pleased With Common’s Use Of The “N-Word”

Angelou said she never knew Common used the “N” bomb at all, calling it “vulgar and dangerous” to the black community.“I’m surprised and disappointed. I don’t know why he chose to do that. I had never heard him use that [word] before. I admired him so because he wasn’t singing the line of least resistance.”- Maya Angelou
“She knows I do use the word,” he told The Post. “She knows that’s part of me.“I told her what ‘The Dreamer’ was about and what I wanted to get across to people,” he says. “I wanted young people to hear this and feel like they could really accomplish their dreams.”- CommonFull Story: NY Post
