Chicago's Lonnie Rashid Lynn. 'Can I Borrow a Dollar?' was the introduction; 'Resurrection' (1994) — and 'I Used to Love H.E.R.' specifically — is one of the great metaphorical love-letter songs in hip-hop history; 'Like Water for Chocolate' (2000, Soulquarian-era) is a generational record; 'Be' (2005) is a Kanye-produced classic. Then an Oscar (with John Legend) for 'Selma' (2015) and a Tony nomination for 'Between Riverside and Crazy.' Conscious-rap diplomacy in a fitted, soulquarian-era cap.
