Product Description

From Amazon.com
Common's skills are unique, and his style is complete, but his most effective talents are in constructing an album of material that listens like a book. One Day is a fully realized, start-to-finish memoir of a Chicago-based African American male, and it's equal to any challenge from the literary form. To listen to One Day is to pass through a multifaceted relationship between a father and a son, an expecting father and an impending son, and a man and his spirit, all set in the wake of a close friend's death. (This album is deep.) One Day features cameos from the cream of the hip-hop crop, including De La Soul, Lauryn Hill (the Fugees), Erykah Badu, and an indelible Canibus. Common can take his place as the responsible father of hip-hop and a dope MC as well. --Saren Sakurai

4.0 out of 5 stars Some tight songs, but in places the album gets lost, 7 Jun 2000
By A Customer
This is a good hip-hop album with intelligent rhymes and clever beats. 'Retrospect for life' is an incredibly good song, with Lauryn Hill's added vocals providing a contrast to Common's heartfelt rhymes about love and marriage. One of the other moving songs here is 'Fatherhood' in which his dad shares some feelings about his son and about learning- "I hear that I'm about to be a Grandfather, and I'm so proud"- while a laid back jazz buzzes in the background. Also good is 'G.O.D.' which displays Common's mature rhymes and natural deliveries. However, the album falls down on one or two tracks which are not quite so well conceived. Overall, it stands head and shoulders above much of the boring meaningless hip-hop out there, but it could be better.

5.0 out of 5 stars Common's Best Album, 27 Jun 2004
By A Customer
While his first album, Ressurection, is no doubt a classic which was created in what many consider to be the golden era of hip-hop, I believe One Day It'll All Make Sense is Common rhyming in his prime. It is here that he proved he had mastered the art of emceeing. He demonstrates many different flows and rhyme schemes with effortless perfection and his vocal delivery is full of heartfelt passion and sincerity. EMCEEING - 10 out of 10

Musically, there are a number of classic beats on this album but, on the flip side, also some beats that could be considered average. It doesn't matter much because with Common rhyming it just about makes bangin tunes out of them all. To me there are no skippers, every track has replay value because Common's vocal presence has firmly grabbed your attention after only his first few bars of rhyme. If pushed I would say yep some beats could have been better, they are the only imperfect aspect of an album which fortunately has other dimensions to counter-balance this flaw. BEATS - 7.5

Definately worth the purchase. A rare example of an exceptional artist in his prime.
OVERALL - 9 out of 10
