resurrection is close to flawless (tails off a lil at the end). soul by the pound seemed to set him up/hype him up to be able to make that record. can i borrow a dollar was cool but he was a little too hyped and goofy
Well, honestly you know I F*ck with "Like Water For Chocolate" - but I'm from Philly, so you know... Funny though cause I was just listening to "Take It Easy" earlier today. I don't have that album.
please tell me im not the only one who thinks putting anything before resurrection is pure madness
It depends.
For me he grew up/expanded but also grabbed cues from the Native Toungues steez. So I wasnt totally blown away as far as Hip Hop albums, but the jump from Can I Dollar to Resurrection was HUGE.
I feel like the Water joint was him comin together w/ the SoulAquarians to create somethin new that didnt sound like The Love Movement, or Erykah and them.
Shit im no Dilla dick-rider but Common got laced at the right time...imo.

LWFC was a pinnacle, it was that fully realized album. I know a lot of dudes love to dismiss anything that came from the apex of the "neo soul" era but that rap album (along with "Fantastic Vol.2" and arguably "Stankonia") are the records that really capture that time too.
i ain't mad at that album but i don't think common's rapps were as strong they were on resurrection. i think LWFC might have been better as a complete package but resurrection to me was when common was still pretty hungry and his performance on it was better

I was glad he graduated from the diddly-diddly rhyme gimmicks.
Resurrection>One Day...>Can I Borrow>Like Water...
This is how I always felt about his career..."One Day it will all make since" is slept on, but still can't match "Resurection"..."Can I Borrow..." is a little corny with the squeaky voice flow, but that shit brings back some memories.

He's maintainin'.
Soul By the Pound Remix is one of my favorite songs period.
Well I just meant that song... I think Resurrection is a much better record than Can I Borrow A Dollar. Pound for pound.

I just find myself returning to One Day & Resurrection way more these days.

Resurrection is my favourite but mainly for personal reasons of when it caught me etc etc

'he fell off cuz i pushed him'
but um he was pretty corny on the debut.
'be' is rough ... i dunno. 'go' was so awful. the dilla track was great tho
