The poetics of hip-hop where intelligence and passion intersect
An important work from the early days of Common's career, where his sincere lyrics resonate with sophisticated jazzy beats.
While maintaining the hardline stance of the scene at the time, the album pursues a more introspective and musical depth. Featuring excellent interplay with a star-studded cast including Lauryn Hill, this ambitious work elevates the artistic quality of hip-hop.
