Resurrection - "Common" knocks some "Sense" into Hip Hop (WIAB W/O)
Pros: Futuristic Lyricism, Introspectiveness, Great Production, Subject Matter Pure Classic Cons: Cons? Hell No! Nothing "common" about this album at all... Bottom Line: "Resurrection": breathing life into the corpse of mainstream rap (May Music Madness W/O)
Pros: Lyrically perfect. Jazzy, enjoyable production. No filler. A masterpiece. Cons: *does not compute* Bottom Line: Common Gives H.E.R Something She Won't Ever Forget
Pros: Appropriate and dope No I.D. production, a hungry-as-hell Com, barely ANY skippable tracks. Cons: Interludes, and the fact that it doesn't measure up to Like Water for Chocolate. Bottom Line: Resurrection: Common as Hip Hop’s Miles Davis?
Pros: The “lyrical” Common, good beats and production. Cons: Ynot tries to rap, some beats get a little boring. Bottom Line: "Cause I'm on fire, If I was a Michelin I wouldn't tire"
Pros: Everything. Cons: Nothing. Bottom Line: Resurrection: Use your Common Sense and get it ASAP
Pros: Amazing Lyrics, No filler, Incredible Jazzy Production, Everything I Haven't mentioned Cons: Don't know what you're talking about.. Bottom Line: Common Sense establishes his elite status
Pros: Excellent lyrics, excellent production, excellent guest appearances from Y-Not Cons: Not every track is perfect Bottom Line: The Well of Life and Glistening Beauty Known as Resurrection
Pros: Elixir-like REFRESHING production. Unparralleled, highly original lyricism from Common Sense. Cons: Loose, insincere lyric from NO ID, Perhaps Common is sometimes too relaxed? Bottom Line: top 5 hip-hop album- common at his best
Pros: theres nothin out there that can compare to it Cons: theres nothin out there that can compare to it Bottom Line: The Maturation of Common Sense
Pros: Great Lyrics, Strong Production Cons: - Read More |
