Guests included Mayor Rahm Emanuel and the event honored Harry Belafonte as well as Executive Vice President of the Boeing Corporation, James A.

Video: Common Throws Out First Pitch At Sox Home Opener
Yesterday, Common fulfilled every Sox fans dream, by tossing out the first pitch at their home opener. Com took to the mound in his best Sox fit and tossed one down the pipe. Unfortunately, I don’t see a baseball career in Com’s immediate future. Ball four take a walk.
Video: Common Visits The Morning Riot
Com Sense dropped by WGCI’s Tony Sco and The Morning Riot this morning. He discusses the forthcoming film Something To Nothing and sends a message to the youth of Chicago about the surging violence.
Also, those attending today’s White Sox home opener, will find Com on the mound tossing out the first pitch.
Pic: No I.D. x Big Sean x Common x Young Chop In The Studio
The all-star, high-powered Easter weekend studio sessions continue. This one happened to take place on the left coast, as the youngest in charge, Young Chop, joined Beats by Dion, Com Sense and Big Sean in the studio. My guess is that they’re working on the new Big Sean album. The good news continues for the rising producer, as these cosigns are about as good as it gets. Looking forward to hearing the outcome.
Video: Common Freestyles Over “Otis” In Las Vegas
While in Vegas celebrating his birthday a few days ago, Common decided to kick a few bars over The Throne’s popular single. Show ‘em how to do this, Com.
Shouts to Perajok.
40 For Common
Earlier this week, rapper/actor/author/philanthropist Common quietly turned the big 4-0 (thanks to evboogie for the reminder). So to honor Com’s milestone birthday, we’ve put together 40 For Common — 40 tracks of essential Com for your listening pleasure. Many are features or rarities you may or may not have (I stayed away from his super popular stuff), so cool out with this soundtrack of Lonnie Rashid Lynn Jr.
Happy Birthday, Com!
Video: Kanye West’s KW Fashion Show
Kanye’s Fall 2012 ‘KW’ women’s wear line was revealed last night at the Halle Freyssinet in Paris with Diddy, Shyne, Common, Kim Kardashian, Waka Flocka and more in attendance. Hopefully, we’ll get something from the G.O.O.D. album now that Mr. West has scratched this off of his to-do list.

Video: Common Crashes Drake’s All-Star Party
Video by P. Noble
We all saw the pics of Com Sense and Drizzy Drake exchanging hugs and pounds courtside at the 2012 All-Star game. But if that wasn’t enough to prove that these two were now fast friends, you can now see footage of Com attending Drake’s after party. Fast forward to 1:43 to see Com in action. Now all we need is a track from the two. I bet we see it sooner or later.
