It was just a different type of album. I hated it. Sooperman lova pt4 and 5 was my shyt though on that album.

Muddy waters was his best album.

Muddy Waters
Dare Iz a Darkside
What? Thee Album

Red getting smacked with a frying pan was a classic Tom and Jerry moment

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.

Truth.

Doc's Da Name still had glimpses of the Red from his peak era. He was starting to get a little too comical, but the skills and approach were still around for that album. This was when he started to sell mad records though, so he never got back to the rugged version of Funk Doc that made him so dope on the first two albums.

I just had Dare Iz A Darkside on again yesterday, and it's still his best work, to me. He was seriously in the zone on that one. And the wild sh*t is, Erick didn't oversee much of it, at all. Only had a few tracks on it, and Red still produced it crazy and made a classic.

Im one of the biggest Redman stans you might ever meet. But I tried hard to like this album and I could never fully rock with it. First of all when it was released felt off. U was used to Redman dropping every even year in the 4th quarter. This shyt dropped in the summer of 01. It was nothing for Red to drop an album with over 20 tracks and it be an easy listen but this album felt bloated and unnecessary like every Def Jam release in those years. Red Gone Wild was a much better album to me and picked up right where Docs the Name left off

Something changed about Redman's voice tone after like 2000, that made his music less enjoyable to me

1992-1998 Redman is unfukkwitable.

2000-2004 Redman is still solid, but a step down for elite

2005-now, I'm not really a fan of. A song here and there is okay, but overall, it's a big skip.

What was the single for that

Lets Get Dirty?

I remember that one.

That and Smash Sumthin...


Album was cartoonish.


Redman gave Luda a lane to run with.

Funny enough that Word Of Mouf dropped in Nov 2001.

I loved the Redman era of El Nino, Doc's Da Name and Blackout. Malpractice he lost me though. Once he started reppin' Gilla House instead of Def Squad that was the sign it was over for him.


Def Jam was going though some change iirc...

Red Gone Wild was supposed to drop in 2004/2005
