Maya Angelou calls into 106 & Park to comment on Common’s use of the N-word in a song they collaborated on together. Dr. Angelou says that she believes Common may be a genius, and that she will “not be divided from him” via the press or word-of-mouth; she asserts that she was surprised rather than disappointed, and that Common is “in process” as an artist. Common follows up by saying that he wanted to express himself without censorship on his album.
