Some outstanding hip-hop. Sadly, Common will probably not be known for this album very much due to it's poor sales, since two of hip-hop's most important albums (Nas' Illmatic and The Notorious B.I.G.'s Ready To Die) were released in the same year.Anyways, this album is fucking filled to the brim with some seriously fucking intelligent, and often times hilarious wordplay. It's that crazy. I would post some lines, but I'm afraid that I would end up displaying every lyric on the album.
And now for the beats. Just the way I like them, super jazzy. If your attention is not grabbed within the first 10 seconds of this album, then simply put, you suck. No I.D. finds perfect samples for Resurrection. On the first track, "Resurrection", he samples a short improvised piano phrase from Ahmad Jamal's "Dolphin Dance", and it fits the song just ever so perfectly.
Listen to:
- Resurrection
- I Used To Love H.E.R.
- Watermelon
- Communism
- Chapter 13 (Rich Man vs. Poor Man)
