Ban yourself.

It goes like this:
1. Whut... The Album
2. Muddy Waters/Doc's da Name (totally a tie in my book but maybe that's because of my age seeing as doc's is the first hip hop album I bought)
3. Dare iz a Darkside
4. Malpractice
And pretty much everything after malpractice is terrible. Redman is absolutely amazing live though. I mean it just absolutely incredible if he ever does a show near you go and see him.

Reminds me how sad the Redman/Method Man album was. Not sure if they even tried on that one.

Flex, I'm shocked you put Darkside so low. My fav Redman album by a longshot. But it was also my first, so there's that.

Blackout is alright. Nothing mindblowing. The title track is the standout of course.

Ok, so here's an amazing track Redman did w/ Keith Murry & Erick Sermon:

See, I found Dare... kind of a let-down after the immense fun of Whut...?, but conceptually it seemed like he needed to prove that he was serious and was therefore more arty and less playful but less fun. I really liked the Reggie LP which was a relief considering how depressed he sounded on Red Gone Wild!

I didn't care for blackout at all. "I take you to small claims court. JUDGE JUDY!" It was less than dialing it in.

Yeah, that Keith track was a b-side on a single if I remember correctly.

Had a late night last night (nothing ever goes as planned) and ended up listening to almost all of Too Short's Cocktails.

The title track on the single was Get Lifted.

Either way, solid stuff.
