I'm pissed off that this entry was deleted. And I worked hard on Common too. Fucking HTML. So here I'll go again I guess.
Common is a terrific artist; he was the one who popularized Mid-West Hip-Hop - the place that spawned recent, well-respected, popular acts such as Lupe Fiasco, Black Milk, Rhymefest, Atmosphere, Brother Ali and, though declining in a sense, Kanye West and Eminem (I think Detox is gonna suck) - and popularized a soulful, introspective, AND lyricist game. He's an essential artist for any hip-hop head, so if you want to learn more about the fucker then check out these songs or albums:
