common ft. talib kweli & sadat x - 1-9-9-9 appreciation thread

[Travellin' Man]

classic

the way common use to spit was so effortlessly. it was spoken word; hard, vivid and conscious

sadat x came through and blessed the track and that beat, that beat is just timeless




i always liked how q-tip started off the intro of the song along with the mixin' and scratchin' of the song on the album

So dope. I had this 12" on vinyl.

Nice ... the b-side was "like they used to say," where the chorus was samples of classic hip-hop lines, right?

Holdin liquor in despair, gang signs in the air
