Common says he is an actor, a rapper and an activist.
Common, who is an emcee and an actor, was recently approached to comment on rappers who also act.
"See, I don't look at myself like a rapper-actor," Common said when asked about rappers who act by a tmz.com cameraman. "I'm an artist, for sure, a Hip Hop artists. I'm an emcee. And I'm also an actor. When I'm acting, I'm acting."
Later in the interview, Common said he is not just a rapper and not just an actor.
"I'm an actor, man, and I'm a Hip Hop artists and an activist," Common said.
During the conversation, Common was also asked to address Snoop Dogg's recent quote where the Long Beach, California emcee proclaimed himself "the best actor-rapper in the world."
"I'll tell you, I really think Mos Def is one of the greats," Common said. "And I've gotta honor Will Smith."
In October, Common spoke with HipHopDX about rappers who act.
