"The 6th Sense" alone makes the album worth having. One of Premo's best beats IMO.

my personal favorite. i've never understood the hype of Resurrection. i mean it's a dope album, definitely classic and all, and No ID is great, but J Dilla, Premo and others had some of their best production on LWFC and, lyrically, LWFC is a step up. "6th Sense" is actually my favorite Premo beat. Common goes from lyrically decent on "Resurrection"(minus the title track and "I Used To Love HER") to ranging from solid to all the way through. it's just far better in every aspect, but everyone is hyped off of "Resurrection" because it was technically Common's first album (first when he found his style. i recognize "Can I Borrow A Dollar?" was his debut). it's like Blu. if he ever drops an album superior to "Below The Heavens," people will say "fuck no, "Below The Heavens" is WAAAY better" because it was a DAMN good debut and people in general have this debut album complex. they did it, most famously, with Nas, with Eric B. & Rakim, with KRS-One/BDP, etc. "Illmatic" was, IMO, just a classic album, but not the end all-be all of hip hop, and i prefer most of the tracks from "Stillmatic", Eric B. & Rakim had 3 other albums that are on par with, if not better, than "Paid In Full", and "Criminal Minded" was shit compared to "Return of the Boom Bap". people need to get over debuts and that includes "Resurrection" as it was the debut of Common's style.

I see what your saying & I get your point. For me, I just reach for "Ressurection" more than "LWFC". I do thou believe a part of you feels that way because compared to "LWFC", "Ressurection" sounds more dated as it should because it's an older album. But it's like I said when we've debated about this before, I think both albums are dope as hell & are very close in terms of which one I like. I just happen to like "Ressurection" a little more.
