Hell on Wheels actor Common is next up on next week’s issue of JET magazine. The hip-hop veteran dropped a bit of knowledge on the meaning of love, getting his heart broken and how the two have motivated his life and career now.
————— On the meaning of love:
“I think the core of the human being and the heart is love, and we all want that,” he said. “Love has allowed me to do the things I’m doing in life. I feel like we all deserve that — to receive love and give it, too. I think when you give that love — love of God, love of other people, self-love — you’re able to make the world better. Your days go better.”
On his experience loving women:
“I have been in love, and I did get my heart broken,” he said, noting that he’s man enough to openly share sans inhibition. “As an adult, I can say I’ve been through love, and this is some of the experiences I’ve had.

The set finds Stacy putting her own unique spin on holiday classics, like “Silent Night,”“Santa Baby,” and more. Let us know what your favorite track is!
Beyoncé’s wearing them. Rihanna is, too. Even lil Willow Smith is getting in on the trend. Printed leggings are fast becoming a hot wardrobe item for winter. They’re a simple and comfortable way to punch up an otherwise basic look the way Beyoncé has.
Or they can push an already daring outfit to the extremes, like with Rihanna’s sleeveless shirt, cut-off denim shorts ‘fit. Or you can take style inspiration from Willow and find a look that’s somewhere in the middle.
Lloyd brings you his second holiday release of the year in the form of “Me & You (This Christmas).” Could he potentially release a holiday album as the Christmas season is upon us?
Lloyd has been pretty consistent with putting out material, with his last album, King of Hearts spawning a couple of hits. Hopefully this new jam puts you in the holiday spirit!
