Customer Ratings & Reviews

In 1992, hip hop was a different place, and if it were like that today, it would be so much better. After making his impressive debut with EPMD on their third album, Business As Usual, heads were wondering when was Redman going to drop an album. Well, that question was answered in supreme fashion. Redman can be seen one HARDCORE lyricist. This guy can battle you, inject humor(all with a tight flow) into a song, tell stories, and make you think ALL AT THE SAME TIME with ease and gusto. And his displays all that and then some on his first album. Here's the review: Album Highlights: EVERYTHING. You have to listen to all of the material from Redman in his early goings and wonder where did it all begin. Production: Thumbs way up. Erick Sermon offers some of his finest beats for Redman to rip through. Lyrics and Subject Matter: Thumbs way up. Who else can come gritty and hardcore like Red? Originality: Thumbs in the middle, nothing new here. The Last Word: This is one CLASSIC album that introduced the hip hop world to the MC known as Redman. He only got BETTER as the years went on, but in 92, he had heads bobbing to his debut, which set the precedent for his somewhat slept, but AWESOME second album "Dare Iz A Darkside." Overall, I recommend this album to you. You won't be disappointed.
