"Popped a couple shrooms to power up to get the Princess/ Riding Yoshi past the flag so Peach is really impressed/ Bowser is a bully but I got support from Toad-o/ It's Super Mario bro, Nintendo is the logo," Common rapped.
"It's a Larry David shame extravaganza/ He's the O.G. and G stands for George Costanza/ With Cheryl, Jeff and Susie and Leon Black/ And if he wants to cancel lunch, he'll wear a MAGA hat," he continued as he rapped over the theme song to Curb Your Enthusiasm and referenced an episode of the comedy series.
Common also rapped over the beat to Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up" and was the musical guest.
The rapper took the stage to perform his song "When We Move" featuring Black Thought of The Roots and Seun Kuti. Black Thought and Kuti were present for the performance.
The song appears on Common's upcoming album A Beautiful Revolution Pt. 2, which will be released on Sept. 10. Common recently appeared in Season 2 of Never Have I Ever as Dr. Chris Jackson.
