Common Sense - Resurrection
If it is all about chillin' and relaxin' trust me Common is your man and this dude is not about bling-bling or some gangster shit. It is incredible how smooth he handles the soul and jazz-influenced beats with his variable flow. Really i would like to tell you how immense clever his raps are, but i only understand a fifth of them. But i can say his word combinations and his changes from fast to slow (and the other way around) rapping belong to the best of what hip hop delivers. In 1994 many of todays known rappers made their breakthrough with their first LPs (ie. Nas, Notorious B.I.G.) and although this was Common's 2nd album you'll realize how special it is when you listen to such songs as "Resurrection", "I Used To Love H.E.R." (great song about the evolution of rap) "Nuthin' To Do" or "Communism".
