Black ON THIS DA Y IN APRIL Compiled By LA'SHAINNA CAMPBELL Staff Reporter SHANTE DAVIS Specie^ to the Banner • 8,1872 Ruth Gaines Shelton was bom in Glascow, Mo. Shelton was best known for her prize winning comedy "The Church Fight", which was published in Crisis, an NAACP publication. • 13,1891 Nella Larsen was bom in Chicago, 111. Larsen wrote two novels of the Harlem Renaissance: “Quicksand” and “Passing.” •12,1975 Leontyne Price internationally known opera singer was awarded the Order of Merit of the Italian Republic in Italy. •14,1938, Gloria Randle Scott was bom in Houston, grille's wrner Add 'Like Water for Chocolate^J;*f^^ to your music diet HABIBA KOROMA Banner Reviewer As Common so pointedly spits on the track, "The Sixth", he is, "Known to bring a rapper down/ Like Bobby did Whitney." I don't think I've ever heard a dis that resonated with so much tmth. This brother is beyond bad; he's nasty. He's that light skinned honey with an unassum ing presence and a fierce flow; gently creeping into your field of sight one moment, only to blind you the next. Common confirmed his status as hip hop slayer with the classic album. Resurrection, which featured the metaphorical track about the then-current state of hip hop, “I used to love H.E.R.” (H.E.R. stands for Hip Hop in its Essence and Real). Some might say he is an . observer with an acute eye for the truth of hip hop- where it's been and where it can go. Common's newest examina tion, and I say examination instead of C.D. because, "Like Water for Chocolate" is indeed an examination of his life, his god, his love and his place within hip hop's patchwork of chaos. Even Common's selec tion of a name for the examina tion reveals this brother's passion. He chose the title, "Like Water..." because "If you haven't seen the movie, see it and I think that you'll understand. When people ate the lead Nmie Review character's cooking, they felt all the emotions she felt while she was making it. I put all myself, all my heart...just the rawness...into these tracks." His efforts were not in vein, for you can't help but to feel this album. With the collaboration of fellow master chefs, D'Angelo, Bilal, DJ Premier, Jill Scott, Mos Def, Cee-Lo, and The Roots, Common cooks up hip hop edibles that keep you craving for more. Hitting heavy with lyrical skills on "The Sixth Sense," Common exposes the hypoc risy of the rap game as a business of production and not elevation. Common says, "I rhyme away from what you're used to everyday...I'm like Morpheous in this hip hop matrix." Feeding every musical appetite, "Like Water for Chocolate," is also seasoned with honey drenched tracks like, "Ghetto Heaven" and "The Light." The delicious Black Panther uibute, "A Song for Assata," features Common's flavorful story telling laced over hypnotizing harmonies that seem to summon her tragedy. I urge you to add Like Water for Chocolate to your diet; it has flavor for the soul. Texas. Scott is the I2th president of Bennett College, and most notably the second female chief administrator of Bennett Scott was an appointee of i^esidents Ford and Carter to the National Commission on the Intanational Women's Year. • 15,1919 Ellubeth Catlett was bom in Washing ton, D.C.
