Like Water for Chocolate is the fourth studio album by American hip hop rapper Common, released March 28, 2000 on MCA Records. Common's Like Water for Chocolate occupies a pivotal position in the current Black Renaissance that has emerged to rescue hip-hop music from decaying into a soulless nightmare. On the heels of seminal releases from the Roots and Mos Def, Like Water for Chocolate engenders an ongoing sense of hope in those who pine for a new school of black intellectuals, making heads bop in the process. Common pays apt tribute to the forefathers of black music throughout his opus, infusing tracks with an invigorating hybrid of cool jazz, bebop, funk, and hip-hop. Like Water for Chocolate is a musical gift. Like Water For Chocolate is the 4th album by Common, released on March 28th 2000 via MCA Records. The LP is named after Spanish romance novel Like Water For Chocolate by Laura Esquivel, a phrase which originally meant for someone to reach the peak of their anger. However, as he told MTV, Coms take on it is more interpersonal, connected to his personality and character: I first saw the title and thought that its was real interesting, and I was like, Man, this is different. So, I used Like Water For Chocolate to represent the water side in me, which is a Pisces, and the chocolate represents the soul, the blackness in the music. Across the project, Common discusses a wide range of topics - mainly ghetto oriented - from pimping to Black Panther tributes. The album also boasts his most successful single, The Light , a rare instance of a non-misogynistic romance song in hip hop. Like Water for Chocolate is full of such contradictions: while often exciting, Common also maddens with his casual homophobia and sneers at those he sees as lesser artists. The title of the album, Like Water for Chocolate is taken from the 1992 movie of the same name the main character in it loved to cook. Common explains in an interview, 'So this is the same thing. I put all my heart, my mind and my rawness into these tracks. The content of Like Water For Chocolate is lyrically pleasing and stylistically appealing. The flow of the album, like Common's 'flow', is effortless. A majority of the songs on the album are produced by the Soulquarians D'Angelo, uestlove, Jay Dee aka J. Dilla, & James Poyser
