It is produced by Jay Dee and features keyboards performed by James Poyser. It samples “Open Your Eyes” as performed by Bobby Caldwell and the drums from “You’re Getting a Little too Smart” by the The Detroit Emeralds. Framed as a love letter, it is a confession of Common’s love for a woman whom many believe to have been his girlfriend at the time, Erykah Badu. Cythia Fuchs of popmatters describes it as a “charming, tender, and undeniably soulful declaration of affection and respect.” A music video directed by Nzingha Stewart features Common, Erykah Badu and “recognizable sensual delights” including “a homemade Minnie Ripperton cassette, a mango, a pink lava lamp and a deeply green water-beaded leaf.

The Clan first became known to hip hop fans, and to major record labels, in 1993 (see 1993 in music) following the release of the independent single “Protect Ya Neck”, which immediately gave the group a sizable underground following. Though there was some difficulty in finding a record label that would sign Wu-Tang Clan while still allowing each member to record solo albums with other labels, Loud/RCA finally agreed, releasing their debut album, Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers), in late 1993. This album was popular and critically-acclaimed, though it took some time to gain momentum. The success of Enter the Wu-Tang: 36 Chambers established the group as a creative and influential force in early 1990s hip hop, allowing Ol’ Dirty Bastard, GZA, RZA, Raekwon, Method Man and Ghostface Killah to negotiate solo contracts

Once dubbed “the Jay-Z of the South” by Pharrell Williams, TI gradually came into his own and established himself as one of rap’s greatest and most successful mcs during the early 2000s. Like Jay-Z, TI — born Clifford Harris in Atlanta, GA — has always carried a balance of smoothness and toughness, and though 2001′s I’m Serious (released on Arista) didn’t shoot him out of the gate à la Reasonable Doubt, he consistently grew and began a string of major hits with 2003′s “24′s.” From that point through 2007, there wasn’t any point when TI couldn’t be heard within a couple hours on any given urban radio station throughout the US

A member of the divergent Rap-A-Lot Records family, based in Houston, Big Mike (aka Michael Banks) first made his name with the Geto Boys. Members Scarface and Bushwick Bill hired him to take the place of Willie D. after a fallout within the group. Mike appeared on the 1993 album Uncut Dope, and began his solo career one year later with Somethin’ Serious, recorded for Rap-A-Lot. When the label signed a deal with Virgin, Big Mike moved as well. His second album, Still Serious, hit the Top 20 upon release in April 1997. Hard to Hit appeared two years later but soon Big Mike announced he was unhappy with the album and took an extended break. The break lasted until 2005 when he returned with Naw’lins Phats on the Blackstone label.

Black Moon is an American hip hop group, consisting of members Buckshot, 5ft and DJ Evil Dee (of Da Beatminerz). The group is most well-known for their debut album Enta Da Stage, and their affiliation with the Boot Camp Clik. During the group’s hiatus, DJ Evil Dee continued his production career with his crew Da Beatminerz, and lead MC Buckshot headed out and formed his own supergroup called the Boot Camp Clik, featuring fellow Brooklyn locals Smif-N-Wessun, Heltah Skeltah and OGC. Following the releases of the debuts from Smif-N-Wessun (Dah Shinin’), Heltah Skeltah (Nocturnal), and OGC (Da Storm), Black Moon reformed on Buckshot’s label Duck Down Records. In late 1996, Nervous Records released a Black Moon compilation album titled Diggin’ In Dah Vaults, which featured a number of remixes and b-side tracks. After the group’s split with Nervous Records, Black Moon became entangled in a legal battle over the licensing rights of their group name, which lasted for a number of years. The case was finally settled in 1998, and they were able to license the name through Nervous.
