Han har gennem tiden haft flere forskellige sparringspartnere hvad produktion af musikken angår, men af gennemgående navne kan nævnes: No I.D. (Specielt de tre tidligste albums), ?uestlove & James Poyser, J Dilla (Specielt de tre nyeste albums) og Kanye West, som stod for størstedelen af produktionen på Be og Finding Forever.

I 2007 begyndte Common sin karriere som skuespiller, bl.a. i filmen Smokin' Aces, der også havde Andy Garcia og Ray Liotta på rollelisten. Common medvirker i øvrigt i American Gangster, fjerde udgave af Fast and the Furious-filmene, og i Terminator Salvation fra 2009.
