Once a ball boy for the Chicago Bulls, he began rapping under the name, Common Sense. His first album, Can I Borrow A Dollar? (1992) proved that a West Coast or East Coast zip code wasn’t required to be dope. His next disc, Resurrection (’94), solidified his rep as a gifted MC. The album spawned the hip-hop classic, “I Used To Love H.E.R.,” in which Common made uncommon use of an extended metaphor to lament the commercialization and gangsta-ization of rap in the ‘90s. Legally forced to change his moniker by petty Santa Barbara keg band Common Sense, the rapper re-emerged as Common, dropping One Day It’ll All Make Sense (1997) and Like Water For Chocolate (1999), both of which featured all-star guest appearances and chart-topping singles.     Common The Light LiquidAudio Rap/Hip Hop The Chi-Town rapper’s ode to the woman who lights up his life is hooky, sweet and sincere -- without lapsing into commercial saccharine.
