#MCM: 10 Photos That Prove Common Can Do No Wrong in a Suit

2015 has been a major year for everyone's favorite rap-tivist and 2015 #EssenceFest performer, Common. Oscar wins aside, he has always been a man who stands for his rights and the rights of the community.  While we totally love him for his mind, the fact that he looks great is also a plus.   Whether he's attending a nationally televised award show or doing press, Common's suit game is on a whole other level. We decided to gather a few moments to remind you why he is the perfect #ManCrushMonday pick.

Common

One thing our readers have in “common” is a mutual adoration for this bachelor. We’ve watched the conscious rapper evolve from a cutie pie with crazy skills on the mic into a globetrotting gentleman with a remarkable onscreen presence and undeniable swagger. Common, you “Used to Love Her,” but that’s okay, we’ll always love you just the same.
