Real Life troping; Cool Old Guy is a narrative trope and deemed NRLEP because of that


* CoolOldGuy: Common's late father, Lonnie Lynn, Sr., who, starting with ''Resurrection'', ended each of Common's albums (except for ''Universal Mind Control'') with some spoken-word bits of wisdom/experience before passing away in 2014.

Though ''Can I Borrow A Dollar?'' was seen as a promising debut, it was 1994's ''Resurrection'' that really put Common on the map, showcasing both his penchant for clever wordplay and his excellent storytelling (often centered around life in Chicago). Unfortunately, while the album was critically lauded, it [[AcclaimedFlop failed to gain much commercial success]], debuting on the Billboard 200 at only #178 and then dropping off the chart the following week. Three years later, he released his third album ''One Day It'll All Make Sense'' to similar critical acclaim but only slightly more commercial success. It was with 2000's ''Like Water For Chocolate'' that Common finally found both critical and commercial success, debuting at #16 on the Billboard 200 and reaching Gold certification, thanks to its hit single "The Light." After 2002's somewhat divisive ''[[NewSoundAlbum Electric Circus]]'', 2005's ''Be'' became Common's most critically and commercially successful album to date, thanks in no small part to heavy involvement from [[Music/KanyeWest a certain other Chicago-based rapper]]. Common has had a pretty consistent musical career ever since, with his latest album being 2020's EP ''A Beautiful Revolution (Pt. 1)''.

** In "Nuthin To Do", the line "I'm Petey Wheatstraw from the Southside of Chicago" ([[CallBack sampled from a verse from the song "Heidi Hoe" on Common's debut album ''Can I Borrow A Dollar?'']]) is repeated a number of times, with turntable scratches thrown in for good measure.
