The Evolution of the MC

lj2kplus

Some artists just rap to rhyme and entertain. Some artists give you introspection into their struggles and their life. One Day.. does the latter. Full of substance and thought provoking songs, this album is a defining gem in Common's career. After picking up Resurrection and Can I Borrow a Dollar you will see the evolution of an MC...a man we know as Common. This is a must have for any true hip hop head and especially if you are a fan of the rapper known as Common (formerly Common Sense)

Really? you got some dipsh*t evangelical calling shots? A song about searching for religious truths gains a P.A. warning.. that some b.s.

I adore Common- having followed him from the days when few knew him to now- I am happy to see this album on emusic. Common is a very conscious "rapper" with observations of our society and himself. This is a great album with soul, lyricism, and drumbeats. Personally a must have!

Six Degrees of Donny Hathaway

By Hua Hsu, eMusic Contributor

It used to be easier to pretend that an album was its own perfectly self-contained artifact. The great records certainly feel that way.

It's the very nature of music — of art, even. The Six Degrees features examine the relationships between classic records and five… more »

They Say All Music Guide

With his previous records (released under the name Common Sense), Common demonstrated that he was one of the few Midwestern rappers to have a unique vision, but One Day It’ll All Make Sense is where his talents come into focus. Blending hip-hop with jazz is a ’90s cliché, but Common relies on bebop rhythms and street poetry, resulting in an album that has a loose, organic flow. The grooves have deep roots and the rhymes have humor, heart, and intelligence — few of contemporaries could achieve the emotional impact of “Retrospect for Life” or the gospel-tinged “G.O.D. (Gaining One’s Definition).” And that extra layer of emotional involvement gives One Day It’ll All Make Sense a weight and spirituality that makes the record special. Certainly few of his peers have made an album as musically and lyrically rich as this, and it’s about time others follow his lead. – Leo Stanley
