Washington, D.C. – It is a great day in Hip-Hop when one of our own receives a personal invite to perform at the White House amongst the President and his guests. However, that great day can quickly turn into a gloomy dark day when people, who have no understanding of the music, the culture, and the concept, turn it into controversy.

Apparently, Common performing Spoken Word poetry at the White House erupted  a plethora of outrage from Fox News, its affiliates, and other Right Wing conservatives. Fox News verbally and publicly attacked Common for being at the White House and used his choice lyrics from different songs against him, citing that they are lyrics of ‘violence and misogyny.’

Here is the Video of Common performing Spoken Word poetry at the White House:
