About the original album...

Resurrection is the second album by American rapper Common (then known as Common Sense). Released in 1994, the album received critical acclaim, but not a significant amount of mainstream attention. Resurrection was entirely produced by No I.D. (who also produced the bulk of Can I Borrow A Dollar?), and Ynot. The record was originally rated 3.5 mics in The Source in 1994. In 1998, the album was selected as one of The Source's 100 Best Rap Albums.
