Common
Comment:
The soulful, ?uestlove-guided direction of [i]Like Water for Chocolate[/i] did more than help Common reach a new audience; it showed yet another side to one of hip-hop's most enigmatic MCs. That patient delivery — one that rides the beat rather than battling it — sounds tailor-made for such laidback posse cuts as "Yelling Away" and "Ghetto Show," as well as a couple of spot-on cuts from street-seasoned poet/singer Jill Scott. Of course, Common's open to any challenge, whether it's the veritable hip-hop all-star game of "Music for Life" (featuring Nas, Busta Rhymes and a recurring Common collaborator, J Dilla) or the cascading piano keys and high-pitched synths in "Days of Our Lives."
