The stuff he wrote on "Sum shyt I Wrote" "Communism" "I Used to Love H.E.R." "Resurrection" "Watermelon" bruh...
Common's lyricism on Resurrection is on par with anyone

Nothin To Do is one of my favorite Common songs.
My favorite Common song besides Resurrection 95
Awesome Wells
The Ghost of Jack Tripper
I've always had Common in my Top 10.
Resurrection is still my favorite Com album. That's probably him at his most lyrical, in my opinion. It's definitely No ID at his best. I still play this album like it's '94 all over again. When this was about to drop, Stretch was playing damn near the whole album on WKCR track for track, and we all thought it was the dopest shyt ever. Ended up copping this the first day it came out, and never stopped playing it. Straight classic.

Yeah breh I had just made a thread about Communism and how that whole song concept is crazy. He built every line off the "Com" theme 
Resurrection is definitely one of my fav's ever and I rank Common very highly on my mc list
'You Troy, I'mma come on the rhythm
With a little communism
Chick-a chick-a I'm
Chick-a chick-a on
Chick-a chick-a my
My, own shyt
Like an entrepreneur, that stepped in manure
Man I'm newer than a Jack I went up the hill with Jill
And Jack Jill's big bootay
We did the booty up, I told the bytch she Betta Have My Money
Or step to the AMG
You know Com Sense, oh yeah him be
That nikka that be making all the bid-by-by-bye sounds
But since then, Common calm down!
I'm on some calm shyt watch Com get complicated
Simple motherfukkers say the way that Com communicated
Was too complex, I got a complex not to complain
On my brain no complain and so will my community
And I prefer compliments
So I complement at an angle, of ninety degrees
It's the nineties, and music got known for the grease
I got a sense of direction and a compass
Com passed MC's with no compassion, though I heard the screams of
But I ain't shy, so why shall I comfort?
Com should have been at the fort with Jeff I'm so ill
But I chilled in my compartment with no company and no meals
Now Com could get the penny, but I want my own company
And Com is on a mission not to work for commission
It's a common market and it's so much competition
But to me, competition is none
To my comp I'm a ton I get amped like Watts in a riot
My compact disc is a commodity, so buy it
Instead of competing with Pete
Com compromised, Com made a promise
Not to commercialize, but compound the soul
With other elements, compelling sense into Communism'

Resurrection is truly amazing.
I had to return to it these past two months or so.
"Book Of Life", "Communism","Resurrection","I used to love H.E.R." and so much more.
That album is something else !!!
The baseline on "Book Of Life" perfect sandwiched between those banging drums
The Vocal Samples
The Scratching
Resurrection is a seriously great album.

the process for how No ID and Common got the album done on like a 4K budget is the stuff of Hip Hop legend
