#tbt – Tracks You May Have Missed – Common – I Used to Love H.E.R.

by Kash

Hearing Every Rhyme. For this week’s throwback we take you back to the Chi-town streets in ’94. Common, or better known as Common Sense back then, dropped I Used to Love H.E.R. off of his sophomore effort entitled “Resurrection”.

The album was entirely produced by No I.D. and I Used to Love H.E.R. has a really smooth beat. In regular 90’s fashion it keeps your head knocking from beginning to end. The track itself is about Hip Hop personified as a woman and throughout the track, Common takes the listener through a journey of her life and evolution. You may recognize the opening bars from Kanye’s “Homecoming“, but that was Kanye paying homage to the Chi-town OG.

As you follow Common run through Hip Hop’s life, he paints a crazy vivid picture of how the music impacts his life and how the genre changes as it spreads to different coasts. Check out the track below with the original video and while you reminisce sound off in the comments on how you feel about the state of hip hop.
