Disco de Redman: “Red Gone Wild: Thee Album”

This is a true banger and that's all I have to say still dirty

All I'm gonna say is why couldn't track number 22 be longer. That was my favorite track in the whole CD besides the one Timbaland produced. I hope he puts out an extended mix for it. It sounds like vintage Redman.

Finally, Redman has returned. I was a huge fan of his 1st and 2nd albums back in the day and was disappointed by his albums after that. Given all of the mindless hip-hop that is dominating the radio, it is nice to see someone with real skills return to the scene. This is definitely a worthwhile purchase if you like real lyricists; if not, go buy Unk or Dem Franchise Boys and watch your brain cells deteriorate.

This album is tight...I'd probably give it a 4.5 but it rounds up to 5 so thats what I gave it. I only need to skip like 1 or 2 songs and the rest is hot...can't say that about too many CD's released recently. Great production with some sick beats makes this album one of the best of 2007 so far...just waiting for that Fab album now...

It's been years since we had the pleasure of hearing a solo Redman joint...especially one that's worth listening to! The last good album was 1998's Doc's Da Name, although the dismal album Malpractice was released in 2000. But just listening to the intro track "Fire," it becomes clear that Red Gone Wild is the real deal. The album has the feel of a mixtape, but without the yelling deejays or the redundancy of tracks that serve no purpose. Even though "Bak Inda Buildin" clocks in under 3 minutes (just like "How U Like Dat" later in the album), it still delivers the energy we've been accustom to hearing from Redman and segues into the equally hyper "Put It Down" and "Gimmie One." "Sumtn 4 Urrbody" features virtual unknowns named Blam, Runt Dog, Ready Roc, Icadon, and Saukrates showcasing their best licks and it's amazing that the track still stands at less than 4 minutes. The Scott Storch produced "Freestyle Freestyle" is an enjoyable track with the feel of a true freestyle with its uncomplicated background and lyrical veracity. Veteran Def Squad members Erick Sermon and Keith Murray regroup for the convincing posse cut "Walk In Gutta" while R&B newcomer Melanie Rutherford [...] gives an impassioned hook for the indelible melody of "Wutchoogonnado." "Blow Treez" is a well-performed collabo that features partner-in-rhyme Method Man and Ready Roc. "Merry Jane" is a fun, entertaining tune that pairs Red with Snoop Dogg and Nate Dogg. "Dis Is Brick City" and "Rite Now" both showcase classic Redman while "Hold Dis Blaow" rocks an infectious beat that makes it one of many standouts on the album. He closes with the recurring "Superman Lova" featuring Hurricane G and Melanie Rutherford (it's presented as two connected tracks with the same title) and the tenacious "Suicide" that's embodies all the intensity that Redman has been known to display from time to time. Red Gone Wild personifies a rapper whose talent far exceeds most others in the industry today. Redman's future as a rapper is proven with Red Gone Wild, and he'll never have to worry about losing his appeal if he keeps putting out albums like this.
