It doesn’t sound as bad now because of how different hip hop and rap music is now but there’s only two songs from that album I occasionally listen too

Diggy doc

Real nikkaz


Doc’s Da Name is way better than Malpratice

In fact, Doc’s Name is even more slept on these days and I would say and I think that’s because of the first three albums being as great as they are.

The skits fit Malpractice well..


My favorite skit was the Jerry Swinger one. I could tell that he was watching Jerry Springer while in the studio.

Then the Judge Juniqua one.

Chick had me rollin when she told the judge...

I don't think they were bad, just too many. The British guy I can see annoying people.

That British guy actually worked on the album...

I think it was Adam F.

Red was high as shyt saying that 5 of us will make it on the Roller Coaster.

Listening to a Redman album, expect to hear 23 tracks and shyt. I don't know any rapper who made that many songs on a album.

The only other rappers I knew that made those long albums would be Method Man. Tical 2000 had 28 Tracks and Mannie Fresh's The Mind Of Mannie Fresh had 30 tracks.

Redman was my favorite MC in the 90's, since EPMD's Business As Usual.

Malpractice was where his career nose-dived beyond repair. He was never the same after that. I've tried to revisit that album a million times, and that sh*t is still trash to me, lol. Especially by Funk Doc standards. Even Red said the best thing about the album was the skits. To this day, I can't even bother with that project. And that's my dude! But that album, nah.

From memory, I just can't get past the skits. Red has dope skits and these ones are still cool but it pulls me out of the album too much and I don't really listen to the album

People were comparing his and Eminem's discography and if you're a fan of both(or were at one time) they're quite similar. Docs the Name puts Red over the top tho

Thats how i saw it. Malpractice while not bad compared to what came after (I'm looking at you Reggie) is where you can see the fall off starting to happen. I felt since Doc's Da Name really got him out there and that Platinum plaque he stayed on that wave whereas before he'd switched up every album.

U didn't like Judge Juniqua or Who wants To Fukk A Millionaire??
Those skits were comedic. U could tell that Red was watching TV while making the album.
