Common "Used to Love H.E.R." -- and he still does.
Some folks found it amusing that Weezy was performing “Mrs. Officer” for a former district attorney.
It’s gonna e a shame when these hip-hop 50 celebrations come to an end.
Happy birthday, hip-hop!
There ain't no party like a VP party

Afterwards, Common posted a video of his time in the nation’s capital to Instagram, writing, “What a glorious day in DC! I celebrated Hip Hop all day long. Early in the day I celebrated with vpotus @KamalaHarris and later on in the day we celebrated with my brother @robertglasper #GoodTimes.”
