Talk:Resurrection (Common album)

Over the top

In particular, the song "I Used to Love H.E.R", a clever explanation of the history of hip-hop, is considered one of the best hip-hop songs ever.

Not every song can be the greatest ever, as much as we want them to be. Resurrection did not achieve much commercial success, and as I understand it it did not receive amazing critical acclaim either. Common is a very well-respected fixture of alternative hip-hop, but I don't think the above statement is justified. Find a source? Garrettcobb 12:33, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

Obviously a statement of "considered one of the best hip-hop songs ever" is just a opinion. No matter if a million people say the same thing doesn't make it true. I like the song very much, but I prefer "Resurrection", "Book of Life" and "Orange Pineapple Juice" from this '94 classic.--Tainted Drifter 03:16, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Track listing

I've reformatted the track listing to include track length and include instances in which other tracks were sampled.--NPswimdude500 20:07, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Common - Resurrection.jpg

I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

Wrong sale numbers

The article states that the album sold "2,000 copies." I believe this is the number of copies sold in the first week. The total sales exceed 250,000 according to an article in XXL Magazine. There is a similar mistake on the article on Can I Borrow a Dollar. If someone can find a good source for these numbers, the mistake should be corrected. 62.167.100.155 (talk) 16:20, 26 November 2012 (UTC)
