[umynucka]

[tweetylns]

ressurection is jus a straight up classic (underated)!!!

[Richie2k6]

[REALHOODTV]

@Richie2k6 YEAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[nygiantsfan013]

@Richie2k6 does anyone know what he was sayingat the end when he said, I'm beenie bisto form the southside of chicago

[PrettyTony414]

Reminds me of when my homie would jump into my 94 Ford Probe with a new mix tape in his hand (solid grey Maxell, high bias) ...... I'd fire up the blunt...... he'd pop the tape in, and this song would be cued up.......... LOVE the Old Dirty Bastard sample for the hook......CLASSIC, all the way around! One of my favorite joints of ALL TIME, in any genre, period!!!

[JoeKnowsBest3000]

Thanks for the upload, this song is so soulful.

@PrettyTony414

Agreed bro. Simple things like that are the greatest.

[BigPrizzle]

Regional Slang...Chi-city. "I remember when 'Mad' was 'Tall' and 'Phat' was Cold'"...only Chicago would remember that.

"or even beat by by Pharris at the country club parties"...that was a shout out to DJ Pharris and the country club on 71st and South Shore.

[Moosie313]

omg common's lyrics behind the horns of the beat..jus relaxes me totally..i love this whole album

[LWebb1000]

CLASSIC CLASSIC CLASSIC!!!!!!

[DTOXuno]

this is dope!

[CButlers8]

I'm a rock fan myself. But every once and a while I like to experience other types of music, i'm not narrow minded like some other music fans. But being a rock fan I don't necessarily like this genre, but I can respect it. Especially the older rap/hip hop.

I personally don't like most of the new music that comes out today, except for a few select bands, music has gone in the wrong direction, from meaningful lyrics with sick beats, to generic repetitive crap, sung by disney stars.

[afor0902]

THIS IS MY FAVORITE COMMON SONG!!!

my favorite common song!!!!

[pablo27930]

[rubberbandman01star]

miss dat real shit

[27midwest1]

Me and My Nigga T used to roll to this all summer back in 92-93, this was our joint boy! Takes me back man!

[rustypelucas]

by fags he means cigarettes

[CornellReid]

wait so to "bang fags" means to smoke cigs? never heard that slang before

[CornellReid]

does he say he used to bang fags?

[khalidbahrain]

"And soft breasts, as we got older we would star crush and bang fags"

from lyrics site

[BigPrizzle]

@khalidbahrain Nah man..you gotta ask a Chicagoan what he is saying...our slang was regional while NY's slang was catchy to the masses. he said:

I thought I was cool/ with my member's only and a Bowl fade/

Walk to Walgreens and get some Sportwave Pomade and Soft brush/

As we got older we would Stalk rush and bang fags/

Go to Marshall's and change tags....

As I said to @CornellReid ...bang fags was beating up gay dudes at the lake...Common wasn't always conscious rapping Common...was a 4CH

[BigPrizzle]

@CornellReid ....in Chi, that means to beat up gay dudes...it was what it was, he used to be on some ignorant ish too back in the day.

[CornellReid]

@BigPrizzle alright yeah that makes more sense. thanks dude.

[Beatzinsthusiezt]

Midwest been holdin and will forever remain ill

[ill23will4]

Resurrection is the best

[irockmoonman]

favorite CD

[Crazytaru1]

I loved this and other tracks with the saxaphones...Buck em down remix, bucktown, etc

I found some new artists who also inspire with the jazzy beats...

Sivion, Ohmega Watts, Braille, Lightheaded

Sivion has a similar sound to early Common...worth checking him out

[Crazytaru1]

Dug infinite and NO I.D.

where you think Kanye learned how to do his early beats?

[BigPrizzle]

@Crazytaru1 Doug Inf wasn't on this album though...he came on for the next album. This was mostly NO I.D. with a couple of joints from DJ Twilite Tone (Y-Not)

[luchador21]

nice mellow joint

[classof77]

His raps do laps around tracks and adapt to any environment.

[jamfishe]

Almost too good common. Keep em comin bro.

[TerrorTown7575]

"I got more rhymes than the Mannor had folks" Gotta be from Chicago to understand that...

[222222e]

I'm from Milwaukee, but I know he's talking about Jeffery Mannor.

[BigPrizzle]

@TerrorTown7575 Yes Suh!!!

[JohnnyCaps]

dope bass.

[patg074]

wut you know bout this shit, chi-town old school. englewood, southside!

[twinz2008]

anyone who says rap sucks obviously hasn't listened to stuff like this.

[sfknns]

yeah I agree man but u know theres still some fucking idiots who just aren't convinced they say stupid shit like "it all sounds the same to me hip hop sucks end of disscussion" man that shit pisses me off so much those metal fans be saying that shit to on those hip hop rants

[twinz2008]

I hate those people. They go out of their way and type in rap songs on youtube to say that shit too. I've never seen a hip hop head go to a rock song and type in a whole bunch of bs. We're more mature than that.

[ElBoogieAmworld]

thats cause hip hop heads understand that hip hop is a combination of all genres

[crayyawn]

@twinz2008 that's because hip hop heads have respect for ALL MUSIC! and that's why we're superior to everyone on earth hahah

[dustyroc1]

@twinz2008 we do it for the love and peace !

[JayTheHelmetGuy]

@twinz2008 I'm a rap and rock head but I'm not an assholse that goes to a video just post a dumbass comment

[zeusforlife2002]

@twinz2008 - MOS DEF FAM!!!!!!!!!!

[framil54]

bc rap on the radio sucks..but this stuff still exists today..check out the main video on my page..up and coming hip hop/jazz band called ArtOfficial...your welcome

btw my email is on my page as well if you like what you hear drop me an email and ill send you their EP "Stranger" for free

[tylergates91]

those ppl just dont understand hip hop and the culture so they say ignorant things

[dontsaynuthin]

...or they just don't like rap and are too immature to appreciate that others do.

[monstyfifo]

@twinz2008 for real this is real hip hop keepin it real

[Fabdoe209]

@twinz2008 foreal tho!

[REALHOODTV]

@twinz2008 TRUE

[JayTheHelmetGuy]

@twinz2008 yeah, this is so fucken mellow

[mrllamadeluxe]

anyone know where i can get the lyrics?

dope fucking song, south side of chicago all day.

[MackenDaFlows]

I remember playing piggie as a kid too. For those from other places thats a game using a softball and bat, where everyone stays in the field and catches the ball on one or more bounces. "piggie one" means you have to catch in one bounce or less. And if you do you go up to bat and call your pigge.

[MackenDaFlows]

the song is quintessential Chicago.

[IllKid93]

brings back memories of when me and my homies used 2 kick it on the weekends

[sfknns]

ODB "niggas be rolling" Ha

[vetrix]

to me this track has a tupac vibe to it

[kevhar12]

Yeah this is the dopest track. I love the production. It`s sounds so effortlessly smooth. I love it when artists put out classic music and all they intended to do was make good music. Oh! damn that`s what real artists are supposed to do. Today`s generation needs to take notes.

[diddisdiddat]

Top 10 Common track for me.

[bitterblackguy]

common has always made good music!!! this cd is a classic...especailly with his pops rapping......

[Quplin]

this song is produced by No ID. one of my favourite tracks.

[strongpedigree]

Sounds like a Pete Rock production to me...

[sw1zzie]

It's No I.D.

[howiemarvel]

This is one of my favorite tracks off of resurrestion!! I love this song!

[ROZEROxy]

great song
