Resurrection EP [CD-single] [EP]

Editorial Reviews
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

      this cd, as of late july 2007 has 4 1/2 stars

      i disagree

      this is a 5 star cd

      and where is this Ynot guy on Chapter 13 (rich man vs. Poorman) his verse is so nice

      3 out of 5 stars This album is aight........2007-06-24

      Yup, it's just alright to me. I know that many rate this album as one of the greatest, but I didn't hear that when I listened to it. When I heard this album back in the say when it first came out, I didn't like it at all. I figured that since my tastes have changed since then, I'd give it another shot. So, I got it from the local library and while I like it better now then I did then, I still can't really feel this album too much. My first Common album (the first one that I bought) was "One Day..." Now, that was a very good album, one of the best to date IMO. Since then, I've purchased every album that Common has come out with and have not been disappointed. It appears to me that he went through a serious change between "Resurrection" and One Day..." I guess that he went through a process of maturing and began writing better lyrics, which is why I like "One Day..." a whole lot better than "Resurrection" His style of rhyming and the lyrics here I just did not like. I loved the jazz infused beats and his pop's rap at the end, but I just didn't really care too much for the songs. I still like the album some, but not as much as his other albums.

      5 out of 5 stars Common's more polished sophomore album delivers......................2007-01-27

      I slept on this dude big time. Just checking out in 07.

      Key Joints:
      Chapter 13 (Rich Man Vs. Poor Man) (Very Good)
      I Used To Love H.E.R. (Classic)
      Resurrection
      Communism
      In My Own World (Check The Method)
      Pop's Rap

      5 out of 5 stars AMAZING!!!.......2006-11-16

      In the vein of the great MCs of this thing we call Hip-Hop, Common arises from the fray with his sophmore opus, which, is a masterpiece. Period. This album truly showed the dexterity he shares with the greats of the game all while sprinkling consciousness on our heads and in our ears. Kudos to the chef!

      4 out of 5 stars Good hip hop album.......2006-09-28

      The best album ever from Common !! not bling of course, but really blue note album , jazzy and instrumental !!!
