Title: Common - the voice of hip hop
Post by: TheSheriff 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.

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.
