Common - the voice of hip hop
« on: July 04, 2003, 01:16:31 PM »
I Used To Love H.E.R. is, perhaps, the greatest hip-hop commentary on hip-hop of all time. Common, though not the greatest flower, is a good lyricist and very deep.

no doubt common is ill

i was just listening to like water for chocolate the other day and that album has to be one of the most relaxing jazzy hip hop albums of all time, it relaxed me so much

Resurrection is easily Top 5 of the greatest exhibition of lyricism on an album. Common used to be in my Top 10 MC's of all time but this new eclectic shit ain't sittin' with me well. Like Water For Chocolate was amazing but his new album was too unorthodox for me.
