Listening to Redman's Dare is a Darkside in 2024

[Crumple]

I picked apart the noisey chorus on When I come around. It's like noisey old Ice Cube production.

Then it drops out and the beat is clean.

I don't know how they achieve that. It sounds like cars, horns, city ambience and actual jazz horns.



Wuditlook like to me always sounded like you saw a horror monster and he's like What it look liiikkeee?

Classic. Arguably his best album. The Red Tape before the Purple Tape

 

[Tommy Gibbs]

I thought it was dope in 94 and I think it's dope in 2024. I still have my original 12"s, vinyl lp, and cds from the release. I never understood why people didn't like it.

 

[Sane]

Absolute classic

 

[jdubnyce]

Reggie is so grossly underrated
Top 15
Fight me

[Soymuscle Mike]

Masterpiece, top 20 album ever for me.

 

[skillz2]

Dope! prefer Muddy Waters though.

You know redman produced most of that album himself right? He said he was dusted but im curious how he goes about with producing. He used to be a dj too.

Im curious to how he produced the tonights da nite remix and the sample he used. The bassline sounds different in the car speakers/loud speakers than it does in the headphones. shyt used to make me go wtf.

“I was on the road, on tour at a real young age and then I did one album and blacked out on the album,” he explained to HipHopDx.com. “Lyrically blacked out, but I was just there. I don’t even remember how I got it done and what studio I did it in.”

Redman suggests that this drug-fueled haze associated with that time of his life accounts for why he’s remained so hesitant to even revisit the album. He explains, “I was doing a lot of drugs on Dare Iz A Darkside … I swear, I have not played Dare Iz A Darkside damn near since I did it. Seriously! I was so lost, I was so fukked up during that album.”

This is my 2nd favorite album of his (behind his debut) and I had no idea it was received....weirdly, for lack of a better term....until I seen those takes on the internet. I never met a person in real time that didn't like it.

Redman was a remarkable torch-pass as EPMD was fading

 

[Toe Jay Simpson]

That pump fake shoutout to Jamaica Queens on Can’t Wait used to have me hollering
