I give Common his props for lyrical skill, but I can't see where there was an old Common. He changed identities per album.

Can I borrow a dollar = semi-thug, slouchy negro, womanizer
Resurrection = conscious, introspective, a lil' older
One Day...= ??????????????????????????????????????????
LWFC = sometimes conscious, sometimes bland, sometimes mish mosh, religous?, philisophical?, pro-black?

Who is the real Common?
