Resurrection

Dusty jazz loops and sharp social observation from the South Side. A pivotal 1994 document that turned hip-hop into a living, breathing metaphor.

The record where Common stopped being a rapper and started being a poet.

A thoughtful, jazz-inflected meditation on growth and the state of a culture.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The seamless transition from the personified history of hip-hop into the soulful piano loop of 'I Used to Love H.E.R.'
The way the beat drops out for Common's intricate wordplay on 'Communism' before the bassline snaps back in
The gravelly, wise tone of Lonnie 'Pops' Lynn closing the album with a reflection on generational harmony
