Episode notes
The album: Common: Like Water For Chocolate (MCA, 2000)
This week, we are joined by Los Angeles rapper, Ill Camille. She picked Common’s Like Water For Chocolate from 2000, a moment that marked the Chicago’s turn towards becoming a hip-hop elder statesman, backed by the production might of the Soulquarians crew. Camille’s love for the album runs deep and during the course of our taping, she’d bust out Common’s rhymes, line for line.
