Watch Common’s White House Poetry Performance

Common‘s appearance at the White House has caused its fair share of controversy, particularly among Fox News pundits, but not too much has been said about his actual performance at a poetry event hosted by Michelle Obama.

So check it out for yourselves and let us know what you think. Did his poem have a good message? Did he successfully pull off using the line “Barack us”?
