The intersection of hip-hop's social message and musicality
Common presents conscious lyrics and soulful beats.
1998's "Resurrection" is a significant work that shows Common's maturity as a rapper. Lyrics dealing with social issues and self-exploration fused with beats influenced by jazz and soul opened up new possibilities for hip-hop. It's a masterpiece that beautifully balances the weight of each song's words with musical sophistication.
