When I think of Redman, I think only of Whut? Thee Album and Muddy Waters. His other albums are subpar. Makes me wonder if the drugs finally did him in or was it just Def Jam’s idiocy? I really miss the ‘92 - ‘96 Funk Doc.

It’s Like That (My Big Brother) with K-Solo was perhaps the illest track red ever put out. The two MCs ( by that time K-Solo had been long forgotten) flipping it over the old skool “Cold Gettin Dumb” Just-Ice and Mantronik beat…classic.

I said party record in the post, meant it as just a single track, not in the LP sense. In particular, I’m thinking about “Braveheart Party” or “Nastradamus.” But no, you’re right, he never has down an actual album of just straight party stuff. Thanks for the comment, though. Glad we’re in agreement on Muddy…

Though Flood, i feel you on the nostalgia though. i distinctly, recall Time 4 Sum Axion being the first song I ever remember seeing on Yo MTV Raps!

Muddy Waters is definitely the pick of his catalog. That we agree on. My question is “When did Nas ever try to make a party album?” Dude has always been pretty serious. He may have made some party songs, but albums? Even he knows that he’s incapable of that.

Red is that dude and blackout is severely underrated.

I would put Whut? Thee Album way ahead of Muddy Waters, but that’s probably for nostalgic reasons. It’s still great to see someone giving this record some shine. Nice post!

Definitely, Do What Ya Feel is still one of my favorites. Redman is definitely underrated.

HELL YES!

Sheeeiitt, I had “Whateva Man” on casette single back in 8th grade.

I never understood anyone who loved “Muddy Waters” liking and/or loving “Doc’s Da Name” or “Malpractice.” Both sound uninspired, rushed and lazy compared to Muddy. I’m nervous about “Muddy Waters” 2 simply because that album is still incredible.

Best way to end a verse in 1996:

“Bomb n*ggas like they did in Oklahoma, freeze, you’re froze, Def Squad, UHHH, case closed!”
