It’s time to recognize Doc’s Da Name for the classic album it is

[Damnshow]

Redman never sold out. I don't know who came up with that theory.

 

[FunkDoc1112]

im the last guy to give a damn about how much an artist sells but it is ironic that this is the album that Red went platinum and most of his hardcore fans don't like that much

Platinum has nothing to do with it, the music was just weaker. Nothing more than that. If anything the singles were by far the best tracks.

 

[Rekkapryde]

Redman was still spitting on a high level but Erick Sermon's production fell off a cliff after 1997

(Though strangely, El Nino was still fire...so idk, maybe Erick just gave him a bad batch lmao)

def more of a bad batch cause El Nino was fire from start to finish

maybe but it is ironic

as far as the singles being the best tracks, i disagree

Erick wasn't really sampling like that in the 95/96 either and that was his peak as a producer...he had more of a Q-Tip/Dilla/Atlanta influence back then. If he was sampling, it was sparse jazz samples with a lot of surrounding music that you couldn't really trace. He just had a better vibe and sounds back then

Red and Rockwilder produced Fades Em All

Red and Rockwilder produced Fades Em All

You're right, I blanked on that

 

[nose hair]

You're right, I blanked on that

it's all good, in your defense, it does sound like a Sermon beat though

 

[FunkDoc1112]

So out of curiosity I peeped Keith Murray's third album again, which came out like a month after Doc's Da Name...and yeah I think Reggie got the short end of the stick because It's a Beautiful Thing's production still sounds like 95/96 Erick. @Pegasus Jackson might be onto something when he said the production on here was too clean/radio chasing. A lot of Doc's Da Name has that repetitive, hollowed-out sound that plagued late 90s NY production (thanks Swizz ) while It's a Beautiful Thing sounds a lot better.

 

[Yehuda]

That's those "It Ain't" ass beats.

 

[THE 101]

Album was average as fukk. I swear ya'll call any shyt that came out in the 90s a classic.

 

[mundL]

I actually played it back now and it's not a classic

 

[Tetris v2.0]

This album was solid and really the last good to great album from Red that we got

Malpractice wasn't as bad as people claim but it felt like Red was taking a page from Eminem's book (when Em originally borrowed from him) and went overboard with the wacky zany antics on there

 

[TrapHouse Rock]

I might be the only person on earth who thinks Doc's Da Name >>>> MW

other than 'creepin'" I wasn't feeling MW like that

 

[Mac Ten]

see what i mean?

Malpratice was outside of Diggy Doc and Real nikkaz

Really??

Let’s Get Dirty, Lick A Shot, Doggz II, Da Bullshyt weren’t bad.

The skits are one of the things that made this album funny.

I used to play the intro a lot.

 

[Mac Ten]

Malpractice? God, no!

Diggy Doc, Real nikkaz and SoopaMan Lova 5 Part I are the only memorable songs from that album. Everything else was trash

Yall clown Malpractice but prop up Docs Da Name 2000??

They’re basically the same album
