I THINK RED IS ONE OF THE BEST MC'S IN HIP HOP

THE REASON HE AIN'T BLOWN UP...IS BECAUSE HE'S NEVER HAD A MAJOR MOVER AND SHAKER ON HIS SQUAD.

ERICK SERMON IS A TIGHT PRODUCER, BUT HE JUST AIN'T A MAJOR FACTOR IN HIP HOP

B.I.G. HAD PUFF...AND SUCCESS FOLLOWED

SNOOP HAD DR. DRE... AND SUCCESS FOLLOWED

EMINEM HAD DR. DRE...AND SUCCESS FOLLOWED

KANYE HAD JAY-Z...AND SUCCESS FOLLOWED

AND THE LIST GOES ON AND ON...

REDMAN IS STILL TIGHT AS HELL LYRICALLY AND (TRUTH BE TOLD) NOBODY WOULD EVER WANT TO BATTLE HIM

ANY LABEL HEAD LOOKING TO SIGN A MAJOR TALENT IN HIP HOP SHOULD GET HIM ON THEIR TEAM

50 CENT VS. REDMAN
CAMRON VS. REDMAN
GAME VS. REDMAN

THIS GUY SMASHES EVERYONE...BUT THE GAME. THAT WOULD BE INTERESTING.
BUT IT'S ABOUT TIME SOMEBODY GAVE HIM HIS JUST DO.

Ima cop it

Its Reggie Time

Put that date on my calendar. He is 1 of the coolest rappers you'd meet in person.

And he influenced some of the biggest rappers out 2day. Just ask Eminem and listen to his early work

redman is a good rapper....seems like he has top notch production....but is he gonna sell though?.....he might need to come out with one of the those funny type singles like he do...

My prediction? Flop. This isn't Redmans game right now. Especially since this is the age of "Lean Wit It Rock Wit It"... He has a snowballs' chance in hell. If the Clipse have barely sold 200 thousand, with a "classic", how will Reggie fare?

However, I'm sure the album will be solid.

who cares if he doesnt sell? yall young cats got the game fucked up. i bet if he doesnt sell yall not gunna listing to it. real hiphop doesnt sell anymore. redman is nasty, one of the best by far.
the album is gunna be dope. go buy it instead of talkling bout how hes gunna flop.
dont say hes nice and then bootleg his shit, and yall wonder why niggas like nelly and chingy run the game, its sad.

I agree Fullmetal... the fame aint ready for RED anymore... of course I'll cop it... but because I'll forever be a fan of DEFSQUAD!

Plus the kids can't and won't relate to Red. He'll be considered a NEW artist to them. If there's no club or dance tracks on his album... they wont buy it!

It's fucked up but... that's where t he game is now

~Be Eazy

Ey Wiz... is the guy above you retarded? I could have sworn the last line of my post was:

"However, I'm sure the album will be solid."

I'm going to buy it, of course, because I'm a Redman fan. Don't get your rap panties in a bunch because I told the truth. Most kids don't even know who Redman IS, much less his legacy. He's gonna need a biiiig gimmick, or 12 Yung Joc features with all Lil Jon and Kanye West production to sell to this new ADD, no attention span-having audience.

All I know, I thought for years Red was sick, him and Method. Method last album was crazy, I loved it. Of course it didn't sell we all know that but that album was solid would good material, good hiphop. I excepect Redz to be a little more crazier just because he is a little more crazier then method. I guarntee this album is going to be a solid album, if you don't got a red man album go cop sum, they're not all great but some are and they got good music you can really bump ya head to. Like i said before, i am ganna cop that album. Skillz signing out

Tabari, don't say Eric Sermon is not a major factor in HIP-HOP. That man is a pioneer...but I understand if you saying he's not felt in hip hop right now, like the rest of the real hip-hop artists in the game...

You can say he's not a major factor in Redman's career...I hope that's what you mean.

But i got that mixtape, and it's good...Redman is the wildest rapper I've ever heard though. Partially hardcore, all lyrical.

But yo, where's Keith Murray? -evil music-

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH...THATS RITE

I think I am going to purchase my first ever Redman album next month, just to support him. I ALMOST bought Muddy Waters (I was only 16) but the Source didn't give it enough mics for my money, lol.... A classic hit though, "Whateva Man" AND a classic skit, "THE CHICKENHEAD CONVENTION!"

Speaking of that, whatever happened to the lost art of a WELL-PLACED SKIT on an album? We should do a forum on like, the top-20 or top-10 best hip-hop album skits of all time! Did that stop in the 90's? Do rappers take the time to do skits anymore?

I'm just thinkin' off the toppa my head -------------->

Classic SKITS (NO PARTICULAR ORDER):

1. Jay lyin' on his dick (Fugees, the Score '96)
2. I know people are going to say B.I.G., Ready 2 Die, but those ANNOY me to this day!
3. The Chickenhead Convention (Redman, Muddy Waters '96)
I'm drawin' a BLANK! Y'all gotta help me out!!!!

Oh yeah, the Chinese/Muslim joint skit off the Score, too! CLASSIC!!!! "Okay then. I will show you Flying Fists of Judah" "Nigga, I'ma show you these nuts." "Nigga, you straight outta Mortal Kombat!"

Oh yeah,

Tabari - "ERICK SERMON IS A TIGHT PRODUCER, BUT HE JUST AIN'T A MAJOR FACTOR IN HIP HOP"

Are you serious? DOG, I NEED 2 SEE SOME DAMN CREDENTIALS. PERIOD.

SNIPES,

GOOD JOB ON BEIN' THE ONLY 1 2 CALL HIM OUT.

People get on these forums and say ANYTHING, and y'all allow it. We talkin' bout Redman, dog, the Source '93 Rapper of the Year. We talkin' bout EPMD... ENOUGH SAID. No movers, and shakers??? What? We talkin' 'bout who he's teamed up with...effin' legends of near legends in the game: Keith Murray, the Green Eyed Bandit, & Method Man. Not 2 mention all the legends/artists he's collabed with or the FACT that EVERY album he's ever put out has AT LEAST gone either gold or platinum:

Whut? The Album (92): Gold
Dare Iz A Darkside (94): Gold
Muddy Waters (96): Gold
El Nino (DEF SQUAD) (98): Gold
Doc's Da Name 2000 (98): Platinum
Blackout! (w/Meth) (99): Platinum
Malpratice (01): Platinum

Red doesn't dud or "flop" fellas... he's got the stats to prove it. So, do a little research b4 y'all just come out y'all mouths wit' the nonsense....

A lot has changed since the last time Redman dropped (2001) Matic. DMX used to sell like 5 mill every time, he barley went gold with his new shit. A lot of real talented rappers don't sell in today's market. It really is the Era of dance music in hip hop. SHIT IS SAD!!!

MJ, this is EXTREMELY true man... u gotta make 17 party joints on your album or they [teenagers and white kids] won't buy it.... that or u gotta be callin' out 12 other rappers on your album on beef tracks... OR MOST IMPORTANTLY, you can always get shot 9 times.

Lol I think its a prerequisite to get shot..

Red......ok ok....but ill pass on the erick sermon muddy bass..and sloppy scott productions. He better have a rza trk!!!! one love to my 67 warren niggaz 10304 and 27 warren one!!!!!!11101

that's wut's up...Red is one my favorite emcee's of all time...we been waitin' too long for this album...I'm happy to see it's finally gonna drop!

yo I always fuck with Redman, that nigga can spit, plus all his albums been fire so Ima cop that for sure...

Real hip hop back on da chart...Mad real Mc dropin albums lol...das da shit...we need more, MORE HIPHOPers

Definitley adding this one to my CD Collection.

GONNA BE CLASIC

redman is one of thebest mc's of all time
if fat joe can sell y not red

Fat Joe hasn't gone platinum since Loyalty, if I remember..

If REDMAN don't sell, It's because Jay aint give him the budget Jay gave himself for KINGDOM COME. But there's enuf adult heads who knows RED's skillz iz tight. KEEP HIP HOP ALIVE. SUPORT RED GONE WILD.

If REDMAN don't sell, It's because Jay aint give him the budget Jay gave himself for KINGDOM COME.

That's some funny shit. When an album flops it's always the labels fault. When the album does great the artist is a genuis and the label is lucky to have him.

Redman is one of those rare creative & original lyricist. I really hope his album will result in some good numbers. Even if it doesn't it will still be quality music.

DEFinitely coppin Reggie's new album. it's been long enuff since his last album (MALPRACTICE) which was disappoiniting. to much trash on the airwaves nowadays and this what hip-hop needs rite now.

ABOUT TIME
