Product Description
From Amazon.com
A couple of years after asking Can I Borrow a Dollar? and before he lost the "sense" in his moniker, the Chicago MC now known as Common dropped this impressive sophomore set, marking him as one of the most versatile MCs to emerge in the 1990s. Shirking the often derivative flows of his debut, Resurrection finds the Windy City rhymer ably assisted by the voluptuous jazzy excursions of producers No I.D. & Ynot. He revels in ear-tickling wordplay, slinging countless witty punchlines and similes on "Orange Pineapple Juice" and "Communism"--songs that require several listens to unravel. Far from relentless chest-thumping bravado, Common's lyrics have substance, exploring inner faults and fears on "Book of Life" and touching poignancy on his classic metaphorical ode to hip-hop culture, "I Used to Love H.E.R.," a track that is perhaps more relevant today than when it was released. The beginnings of Common's ongoing struggle between his boyish effusiveness and moral responsibility, which figures greatly in his subsequent releases, is captured on this essential release. --Del F. Cowie

A Great Album To Start Or Add To Your Common Collection,
By
This review is from: Resurrection (Audio CD)
If you have heard Common on the radio or seen one of his videos on T.V., then you should buy this album to see if you like Common. This is a fundamental part of Common's collection of CD's. It helps understand where he is coming from to help better understand what he is saying in his later albums. If you have purchased any of Common's other CD's then you must buy this because it shows a younger more vunerable Common, or Common Sense which is what he was calling himself during this album.

One of the all time greatest...,
By A Customer
This review is from: Resurrection (Audio CD)
Ressurection is one of my favorite albums of all time, in any genre. Having said that, it's probably the greatest hip-hop album of all time. (even better than Blazing Arrow and Madvillainy, and those records are really dope) Common blends funny and intellectual lyrics with jazzy, catchy beats. Its hard to accuratly describe the genius of this album, all I can say is buy it.
