The Soft, Positive Side of Hip-Hop

Common ft. Mary J. Blige – “Come Close”
With a sound similar to A Tribe Called Quest’s “Bonita Applebaum,” Common and Mary J. Blige not only put forth one of the most positive songs in hip-hop history but also one of the most beautiful videos.
Memorable lyrics from the song:
You help me to discover me
I just want you to put trust in me
I kind of laugh when you cuss at me
The aftermath is you touching me
It’s destiny to we connected girl
You and i we can affect the world
I’m tired of the fast lane
I want you to have my last name (© Common)
