Redman

I think Redman quite easily deserves his own thread.

Not only is he quite hilarious (unintentionally or not, I never know with him) but I truly believe he is an amazing lyricist.

Currently I've been listening to his solo albums a lot. They're all humourous and you can never take them seriously but I think they're all solid if they're not really good. I never really liked his Malpractice album when it got release (2001) but listening back, I think it was quite an eclectic album.

He seems to be ready to make a return soon with a new album (his first since 2001's Malpractice) and possibly a new album with Method Man, which I personally can't wait for.

So, yes...Redman 👆.

I like his songs alot and some are funny and some are jus really addictin but I still like his songs. I wonder why hes mostly featurin in songs now dayz.

He's been putting out mixtapes and such on his somewhat underground label, but his new album- Red Gone Wild- is due out this year.

I'll pick it up most definitely.

Same here. I have so many Favorite songs but right now the song I like most is "Lets get dirty". Really hot beatz and the lyrics are great.

Whut and Muddy Waters are classics, no denying that, but that MTV Cribs thing him and Meth did, the Christina Aguilera song and Blackout (I just don't like it) put me off him recently.

He's great fun though, I agree with what you said in another thread about music being more enjoyable when it's clear the artist takes pleasure in what they're doing, tis why I can't get enough of Louis Logic.

There's a song on that album with Method Man (obviously) called Enjoy da Ride, in which Meth puts out one of the very best verses I've heard from him. Fun song.

I think Da Goodness is my favourite Redman song, or to be cliche, Whateva Man.

"Dare Iz a Darkside" and "Whut??? The Album" = Classics

In that case I won't be picking it up either, provided this is true.

I think Muddy Waters was his last great album. I don't mind Doc's da Name 2000 or Malpractice but they're not as good.

"Dare iz a Darkside" is IMO, Redman's best album followed by "Muddy Waters" then "Doc's da name"

I could never get enough of Redman's flow and how he rips it continuously and effortlessly and with a touch of humour at times. He's was definitely the best member of the Hit Squad and Def Squad.

The 1st time I heard Redman flip it was on that song "the Headbanger" back in like what '92, '93? Cause of his part in that song and ever since then, he's been my most favorite MC to listen to.

I still rock "Dare iz a Darkside" and flow to it like it just came out, lol

1. Dare Iz a Darkside
2. Whut Thee Album
3. Muddy Waters

how i rank his 3 best albums^

I never really looked into it but I always wondered if Mobb Deep ever had a problem with Def Squad. It was subtle but I did pick some things up like in that "Infamous" Interlude when Prodigy was talking, saying

"And oh yea, to all them rap-ass niggas, wit 'cha half-ass rhymes talkin' about how much you get high, how much weed you smoke, and that crazy space shit that don't even make no sense, don't ever speak to me when you see me, word, make me get on some 'ol high school s***, start punchin' niggas in they faces for livin', for real."

I remember lookin at my boy with a kinda shocked looked and him nodded sayin something like "Yup, he's bringin' it to them Def Squad niggas wit that space shit." Or maybe the beef was just with Keith Murray cause he thought he was hard as s***, boy lol

And "Dare iz a Darkside" (DIAD) came out in early '94 and "Infamous" came out afterwards that year and DIAD's theme was hell and "space" with songs like "Cosmic Slop" and "Da Journee" And lines like "I'm like an eclipse on the Friday the 13th, with Black cats and Haily's comet, blazin' blunts in my driveway." and "I travel the Milky Ways and the stars of the Gods, then return 6 billion feet beneath to get cigars."

And most of Redman songs, forget that albums heavily involve talkin' about weed or mad weed usage, and he talks about it more than the average MC, lol.

i don't know. And I forget what album and track name it was, but there was a jam where I heard Prodigy sayin' something like "I'll reach out to any Squad dat's Def" He was obviously talkin about Red and them, I dunno i just always wondered if they had beef?

Anyone know ?

Redman doesn't do beef, man. He'd rather spend his time on doing nothing but rhyming and smoking weed it seems.

Same as Meth. Despite the fact that in a battle they could both probably skin 90% plus of MCs if they tried.

louis logic is probably one of my favourite mc's, i havent been listening to him long enough to see if he'll stand the test of time for me, but ive definitely been listening to all his albums over and over again. i love a rapper that doesnt give a ****, hes so consistently dope and funny at the same time. i cant get enough of him either.

oh def

redman = top 10 rapper DOA

fist, imo, muddy waters is his best album.

AC you agree with me that em got redman as his blueprint... flow-wise and subject matter?

redman and meth 👆
