Before, I respected Common as an artist but I never really took the time to study his work let alone buy it but if one of his cuts came on the radio or anything, I'd bounce to it. But after listening to a few samples of "Like Water for Chocolate", I felt driven to buy this one and I love it!!! I love D'Angelo and was very pleased with the collaboration on this piece and well Common, you put it down so hard that I had no choice but to stand up and take notice...especially "A Song for Assata". I was in tears the first time I heard it. So I just want to say thank you for staying true to the art and to the game like the rest of the Okayplayers and please come to Detroit if and when you go on tour.
