Redman, search/destroy, etc.

COSMIC SLOP -_-

dare is a darkside is his best album, easily.

lots of good collabos and other singles/album tracks to get though.

like this one which just for sheer sound/flow is one of his best verses ever -

I was going to Buck-we-romes, cellular phones
Doc-Meth back in the flesh, blood and bone
don't condone Spent bank loans and homegrown
suckers break like Turbo
in no zone, when I, grab the broom
moon-walk platoon hawk my goons spark
leave you in a blue lagoon lost (true)
three nines and a glove with masu di die in the car
right behind on the boss
Haters don't touch, weigh us both up
now my neighbor doped up
got the cable hooked up. All channels
lift my shirt all Mammal
you ship off keys and we ship Grand Pianos.
sawed off shotgun
hand on the pump, sippin on a forty
smokin on a blunt
bust my gun and Red and Meth gettin jumped
La la la la, la la la laaaaa

pretty sure he was ringside (octogon-side?) @ the kimbo slice thing on cbs last night

New Jersey loses out on tax revenue as residents like Reggie Noble, the rapper known as Redman, buy fireworks in Pennsylvania.

Yes! I knew it was going to be that when I saw the bump.

ha ha ditto

what is Redman looking up at? is he just excitedly picturing the Flower Power fireworks soaring into the sky before gloriously exploding in a dazzling onslaught of colour and noise?

NJ is missing out on a lot of revenue -- Redman alone accounts for 12% of Pennsylvania's fireworks sales.

haha

I still maintain that Whut? Thee Album and Dare Iz a Dark side are two of the greatest albums of the 90's

"underground lockdown" (1997)

her one solo album from 1997 is on streaming in the us. not a lost classic or anything, but very much worth a nostalgic revisit. hard to hear her now as anything except a lowkey pioneer.

Dare Iz A Darkside is generally well-respected but I’d still say massively underrated, I’d put it in the top 5 rap albums of the 90s easily. East Coast beats, west coast G-funk + occasional dub style basslines but often sounding like they were run through some kind of off-kilter sub-bass transformer first, a pretty deep lo-fi haze enveloping the whole thing, some truly bonkers verses with Redman always jumping all around the beat from different parts of the measure…one of the first rap albums I ever picked up and still find something new every time, it’s not one where you’ll start reciting all the verses after seven listens, you can definitely get into it the first or second time through but it still reveals itself over a longer period of time than most albums from that era.

both his first two albums have some incredible highlights, loved them both madly at the time.

slim otm. in terms of beats, both that and muddy watersare definitely some of my favorite albums of the 90s. he was really good at synthesizing queens with lbc. "pick it up" from muddy waters will get at least a few oldheads on the floor, guaranteed: just that irresistible bass heavy 88bpm-ish thump groove.

one thing i really loved about the def squad scene was erick sermon's style kind of rubbed off on everyone, so by the time he was moving on to something different redman had completely usurped him and moved into his own thing completely. stuff like "bobyahed2dis" and "can't wait" always felt more like midwest sounds to me because those beats were so fluid. full disclosure: i had at the time, and still very much do now though not quite as intense, a big desire to hear folks from warren g's crew over beats like "pick it up" and "whateva man."

erick sermon's "rockafella" remix beat got a short interlude on the album, but that bassline deserves a few verses:
