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.

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.

I Used To Love H.E.R is my fave song of all time... another of my fave song is Pharoahee Monch w/Common & Talib Kweli - The Truth......... Common is too deep

Most hip-hop is now keyboard driven, because the majority of hip-hop workstations have loops and patches that enable somebody with marginal skills to put tracks together,...

Unfortunately, most hip-hop artists gravitated towards the path of least resistance by relying on these pre-set patches. As a result, electric guitar and real musicians became devalued, and a lot of hip-hop now sounds the same.
