Free Music Notes for Can I Borrow a Dollar?
Free Music Review: ""EZ...EZ Like Sunday Morn'" (Rating: 9 out of 10- -4.5 stars)
Hit: 4 Stars
This is Common (Sense)'s first LP "Can I Borrow A Dollar". I really didn't pick this up until about a month ago. I think Common had a very good starting point back in 1992 with his singles "Soul By The Pound" and "Breaker 1/9" (if you can, find the remix 12" with a song called "Can I Bust" with Y-Not). Common had his sped up tounge twisting flow which is way different than what you hear from him fifteen years later. A favorite of mine would be "Take It EZ" along with the ode to cerial "Two Scoops Of Raisins" featurning Immenslpoe (aka No I.D.). Like everyone said, mostly on this album is about Common chasing females with songs like "Puppy Chow" and "Heidi Hoe".
Common sounds different here. One thing I noticed is his voice, as it squeeks when he rhymes. It may get annoying to some people. Can I Borrow A Dollar is a different side of Common that people are not used to hearing. Fans of Resurrection will enjoy this more than those who are fans of Like Water For Chocolate. The overall album is high quality and very enjoyable. I recommend this to fans of early 90's rap. Peace.
