Common is Hangin' Up the Mic?

Rapper Common is comtemplating hanging up the mic to pursue acting. He thinks he can be more successful as a thespian than an MC. He tells ViBE, “I need a new fulfillment as an artist. I feel like I can become a bigger actor than I am a rapper. It's scary thinking, 'Damn, if I don't sell no records, what am I going to do?' When you haven't made multi millions in this game, you got to think about what you want to be doing when you're 50 or 60. I found an art that I really love and it's infinite." SOURCE
Hmph! He's pretty darn smart if you ask me.
I mean look at what it’s done for other rappers. I often forget Queen Latifah was ever a rapper cus she’s blown up so big in the acting game. It’s the same way with Will Smith. I’d rather see one of his movies than buy one o his albums. Mos Def is fantablous..but I guess he doesn’t really count since he started out acting before he got into the rap game Please reference The Cosby Mysteries. Anyway, Lonnie, I see you wit' you fine a$$. Er, I mean, I really respect your talent. If you EVER need help running your lines or practicing love scenes you know who to call.
