The Perfect Beat (feat. KRS-ONE)
Common ft. will.i.am - "I Want You" (2007)If 2005's Be marked Common's comeback, this song was the moment Common established himself as a sexy and charismatic leading man, capable of rapping about real life problems better than just about anybody. The beat is vibey and clearly influenced by acid jazz, which is a departure for will, but the boom-bap drums are still present and provide a perfect backdrop for Common to divulge his feelings about commitment and infidelity. This is grown-man music.
