Disco de Redman: “Muddy Waters”

When redman burst on the scene back in the early 90's, w/ EPMD, the hiphop world didnt know what hit 'em. An MC with a crazy flow, obscure voice and insane lyrics, From NJ, was displaying talent never seen before. in 1992, Whut? thee album confirmed the expectations that heads had for him, and more. With the funk doc steez, addictive flow and his general aura it was an instant classic. Then, Dare iz a darkside came in '94 with its darker, more insane & slighty more weird sounding material , proving that Red could switch his style up when he wanted, and proving that there was more of a darkside to him, unlike what was displayed in his debut. Then, in 1996 Muddy Waters dropped. What can I say? Arguably his best, with both styles (Funk Doc & Darkside) mixed into one it is the perfect package for any real hiphop head. with Erick Sermon on the boards, the beats aint nothin less than brilliant, addictive and the perfect foundation for Red to kick some of his best lyrics ever. Red really stepped up his game on this one, with lyrics (and a unique flow) that make you want to rewind & rewind. Even though this is an album in which redman pretty much does most songs by himself, artists like; K SOLO, Keith Murray, Jamal, Meth & a few others also drop by, leaving you with some sick lines that only help the track become even more dope!

Take it from me this is the real redman (& Erick Sermon) before their fall off, big time, forget anything from here on after, this is the funk doc kicking it REAL for 1996. Seriously slept on and judged upon as a "typical redman album", Muddy waters is another extension to the fact that the Early -Mid-90's were the HIP HOP Years, and grab a hold of it whilst you can. Don't sleep!

WHUT? THEE ALBUM, DARE IZ A DARKSIDE & MUDDY WATERS = REDMAN

Get it. PEACE!!

This was the first Redman album I ever heard. When I heard it, I was impressed by his raw voice and unique flow. I think this should be the first Redman album that you listen to. That's because there are skits just like his earlier albums, mixed with newer lyrics, with cameos by Method Man, Erick Sermon, and everyone else. He is a lyrical genius!!! There are a lotta great one-liners all over the place!

One of my favorite hip-hop albums ever. Every single track is hot, and you'll be quoting the lyrics forever.

The skits are hilarious! Raw! Crazy!

...and rumor has it that he likes to smoke.

"Pick it up, Pick it up!!!!!!!!!"

Muddy waters isnt "arguably" one of the best Hip hop albums of all time. It IS one of the best hip hop albums of all time. The entire cd goes off. The beats are unmatched by ANYONE. I still have never heard a rap album that is as solid as this one, the entire way through. Every sound is masterful. Every bit of audio recorded on this one disc is a classic and will never be defeated. Never. I promise you that. You must have decent speakers to comprehend its genius. If you dont, then dont bother. I highly recommend this album to anyone that enjoys brilliant music. You simply must have this in your collection, or you dont deserved to refer to your assembly of music cd's as a "collection". For its originality alone, i can easily say that this is in the top 3 hip hop albums of all time.

One of my very favorite hip-hop albums of all time and in my opinion Redman's best. Banging from begining to end. Reggie Noble hits us with 17 brick city punches and 3 humorous skits. Features Method Man on Do What Ya Feel Redmans's brother K-Solo on It's like that and fellow Def Squad Members Erick Sermon on Whateva Man and Keith Murray on Da Ill Out. If you don't already own this album go cop it and I gurantee your ears will be locked like you swallowed the key.

Once again, Redman has produced another brilliant hip-hop album. I really like Redman because he never pretends to be anything that he isn't. All of his previous albums had been of the same high quality, and this album is no exception. I've been listening to some of the rap my little brother loves (DMX, Jay_Z, etc), and all I ever hear them talk about is how hard they claim to be, or how many people they've killed, and personally, I don't like the always hardcore beats. But I like Redman because he's got a good style, and his music is the best. "Muddy Waters" has got it all, and throw in some of the best skits you will probably hear until you play another of his albums, and you've got one essentila hip-hop album. Buy it.
