Common is "Wanted", T.I is for the kids

by FULLMETAL

WEDNESDAY JUNE 13, 2007

Common to appear in new film

Chicago emcee Common is slated to appear in director Timur Bekmambetov’s new film, “Wanted”, a rendition of the Mark Miller graphic novel. Timur spoke to MTV recently to explain the plot, and concept of the movie.

“Wanted’ is the story of a young boy who discovers that his father is a member of an evil organization that controls the world — when he gets killed, the boy wants revenge…It’s a comic book movie, but it looks real. For me, it’s the same experience as ‘Night Watch’ and ‘Day Watch’ because what we are trying to do is tell a fantasy story with real drama and without conventions. Every time, we are undercutting it with reality.” said Timur.

He also gave a brief description of Common’s character in the film, adding “We shot him today in a scene with a gun…He teaches people how to use guns. He’s a professional gunman.”

The movie is set to hit theatres across the country in March 2008.

T.I speaks to inner city youth

T.I is a firm believer that education is an important key in life. So while on a recent visit to the Harambee Charter School in West Philadelphia, he stressed this concept, and that kids should not try to emulate rappers, and that there is nothing “lame” about intelligence.

“When you leave out your house and go through your day, you see more people who don’t go to school than who do go to school. But that don’t make it right,” T.I. told the students. “I was a misguided youth myself. So whatever I can do to help them out, to help out the hood, I got to be the first in line.”

“Ain’t nothing lame, ain’t nothing punkish about being smart. Ain’t nothing punkish about being 25, 26, 28 and never had a run in with the law,” he stressed. “That don’t make you a punk man. That makes you a winner.”

Yeah I am happy that TI is doing that I have more respect for someone who tries to tell the truth about this shit. Rap is getting a bad name because of the infulence it has on us all but when one of the best comes and tells the youth that it is real, and being in school is more important I respect that as a man. It is time to make a change and if you as a person cant see it just look around and you will see it.

The nigga didn't say anything about him clownin stop making up your own shit.The nigga is trying to stress to the youth that you don't have to be a street nigga for niggas to give you props.And that is true,You see you little niggas don't know shit and this is why your dum ass will be the next in line to hit the pin for some real dume shit...Niggas done been there and done dat and thats why he can try to skool you dum fucks.I have never in my fuckin life seen a street nigga come out on top and not get locked up before he could pull out.
