"Redman really only had two good albums, Docs da name was wack" Doggie Diamonds

[Taadow]

He says he doesn't like "weirdo" Redman, so he completely writes off Dare Iz A Darkside. I completely disagree, but I get it. Kinda. Opinions, a$$holes, etc.

Okay:

- I am kinda in that boat. Dare Iz A Darkside had some dope cuts, but I don’t feel right calling it
a classic like the albums it’s between. Also, Erick Sermon is definitely one of my favorite producers,
but I didn’t really feel the Insomnia EP either because it was similar.

- History has shown us that Biggie and Mobb Deep felt the same way about that style.
Red had words for that, but I think that’s why he went back to the essence on Muddy Waters.
Muddy Waters imo is the perfect blend of the two previous albums - just enough funk, just enough
spaced-out ethereal chit.

- I personally like Doc’s Da Name, but...

...imma lose some people, but hear me out...

Knowing what I know now and looking back, Doc’s Da Name is a Ludacris album that is performed by Redman.

Classic songs on there, bars was there, but it was fun, bouncy, and mainstream. All Luda’s albums (imo) are enjoyable, but I won’t argue with anybody who says (and there’s a lot of people who say this) Luda doesn’t have a classic because you can’t take his chit seriously. I think Chicken & Beer is the closest Luda has to a classic - and I think it’s a similar album to Doc’s Da Name.

Treach was the most influential rapper of the early 90s.

Even Redman bit his style a little bit.

Imma quote this for truth, because people be understating Treach.

 

[BmoreGorilla]

Redman is amazing, zero argument from me. I'm just acknowledging Treach was superior on the technical shyt. He was basically doing what Em does now back in 1993-1995. He made me rewind a bunch of times because his rhyme patterns would be outlandish lol. We'll just agree to disagree bro.

Yea you can hear that in Treach’s rhymes as early as OPP. He made rappers step their bars up

Who the fukk is doggie diamonds?!? another no name new trap music scrub ???

 

[Rell84shots]

Redman is a GOAT off this song alone

It’s hilarious thinking back how influential he was. It was him on the east coast and Cube on the west. He had mad clones pop up. Most notably Da Youngstas and Kriss Kross. Even tho I think he wrote for Da Youngstas and was on Cruise Pop. He completely changed up the mainstream aesthetic at the time tho which was kinda New Jack Swing based

All of a sudden everybody was a rough neck


Queen Latifah who discovered them got a little more hardcore. Even MC Lyte wanted a roughneck

 

[big bun]

Yeah he was trippin’ when he said that.

 

[NormanConnors]

His first two are classic

fukk Muddy Waters tho that album was boring I fukked with Docs Da Name more than that shyt

 

[Diondon]

Redman was one of my favorite MCs
Even fukked with him over Meth lowkey
then I heard Malpractice and I never wanted to hear this nikka rap again

 

[Threnody]

docs da name wasn't that great but at least it didn't bore me like MW did

I will NEVER understand the MW hype breh shyt didn't hold my attention at all compared to the first two it was fukking dull

You kinda hit the nail on the head with the Luda reference. Red clearly had a huge influence on him. Em too. I fukked with Docs Da Name tho. He was starting to become a caricature of himself but he was spitting all over the album

The only album I didn’t really like from him was Malpractice. It already didn’t feel right because the release date was in the summer like 3 years after the last album. I was used to Red dropping fourth quarter every other year. The album had no focus at all. Red Gone Wild was dope af to me tho

Lol he wrote their raps

 

[Rice N Beans]

At the VERY LEAST, Dare and Muddy I can call classic. Rhymes and production were on point for both.

 

[shazam]

redman has a great discography, but you can rank it pretty easily imo

muddy
dare
whut
blackout
-
docs da name
red gone wild
blackout 2
mudface has some cuts
-
reggie
malpractice

he's put some good stuff in the past 6 years but it's inconsistent. 80 barz and that quick EP from last year are dope too

This explains why MalPractice was wack:

“I was doing Malpractice while I was shooting a movie. Truthfully, I wasn’t focused at all. I keep it 150. I had good ideas, but I wasn’t focused. There were a gang of skits and songs, but I didn’t format it like I wanted to. But ‘Let’s Get Dirty’ was on there and that carried on to other things. The good thing about that album is the label had to deal with my era of fans. They had to be supplied with my kind of music. Even now, they have to be supplied with that ‘90s shyt. We were going into a new era then. Def Jam was changing. The regular bosses that were there were leaving at the time. Malpractice just fell into place But that whole time was just strange.”
