Dollar?, a series of tracts on consumer identity with the
occasional lapse into X-rated anatomical detail to make it

Review about Common songs
wordplay king | Reviewer: 7xL
------ About the song Resurrection performed by Commonprably 1 of the best word play iv heard.taking nuthing from the artist, much respect but i think he was possesd when he re-wrote this,lol cos lookin @ the title nd the lyrics it seems like som1 was tryna deliver thru him....tooo dope!
I Used to Love H.E.R. too | Reviewer: Stev
------ About the song I Used To Love H.E.R. performed by CommonI also used to be in love with H.E.R. Hip hop was used to have soul, meaning and value. Nowadays all I her is crap the puts emphasis on bling, whores, and busting a a cap in someone's ass. Don't get me wrong, I still listen to some mainstream rap artists but that only pleases me temporarily. I most definantly used to love H.E.R., uphold H.E.R., give H.E.R. every minute of everyday. Now I only stop by ocassionally to say "Hi" to H.E.R.
Hip-Hop Head | Reviewer: Jay The Saint
------ About the song The 6th Sense performed by CommonYo D Joe, is true lyrics what you post, gotta put the love of Hip-Hop on this too, slap the same lyrics on this review!
"I start thinking, how many souls hip-hop has affected How many dead folks this art resurrected How many nations this culture connected Who am I to judge one's perspective? Though some of that shit y'all pop true it, I ain't relating If I don't like it, I don't like it, that don't mean that I'm hating I just want to innovate and stimulate minds Travel the world and penetrate the times !Escape through rhythms in search of peace and wisdom Raps are smoke signals letting the streets know I'm with 'emĀ”"

------ About the song Thisisme performed by CommonThis song is a work of art, if more people knew it the world would be a better place.
A few corrections i noticed in the first few lines i think he says "Good morning Viet-Com"
A few lines later he says tweedleet deet idk where you got sweetly oblique. And later he says "want some fire tree than buy from me" not flyers to read.
