Reggie Noble 9 1/2

👍

Big Redman fan. The extra star is because I believe he's still great and well respected in the industry. Not really impressed with the production on this so will give it a few more goes and see how it goes

Solid album. Classic Redman flow.

It's been just short of 4 years since the Funk Doc last released a solo album, and the Brick City native returns with his 7th major solo. On top of that, over the years he has been a part of 4 or so group albums and a large handful of mixtapes. Flash back just about 20 year ago when Redman broke into the rap scene and started a name for himself, a name and persona that would build over the years and eventually lead him to well-known and respected veteran status in the rap game, and breaking that fame into the TV and movie world. This hear, being his 7th album, compared to his others, I'd have to say it's toward the bottom; but don't get any ideas that it means the album isn't quality. Compared to his other releases, he's done better work, but this album still is worthy of a strong 4 star rating. Here is my ratings of his other solo albums:"Whut: Thee Album" (1992) --- 4 stars"Dare iz a Darkside" (11/94) - 4.5 stars"Muddy Waters" (12/96) --- 4.5 stars"Doc's Da Name" (12/98) --- 4.5/4 stars"Malpractice" (5/01) --- 4.5/4 stars"Red Gone Wild" --- (3/07) --- 4/4.5 starsOn top of those I have 4 group albums he's been a Part of (Def Squad's "El Nino" from 6/98, and 3 albums with Method Man: "Blackout!" 1 & 2 and the "How High Soundtrack"), plus he has put out a decent amount of quality mixtapes over the years as well. This one has 13 songs; 1 is a Classic, 1 or maybe 2 that I'd skip over, the other 10-11 are good or real good songs. Guests are on 6 of the 13 tracks, and are mostly his normal guests from the old crew; 4 songs they are rapping on and the other 2 they provide the chorus. Production is on point for the majority of the album, (like he always provides our ears) but has a couple average or sub-par songs on here. 13 different producers each do 1 song: DJ Khalil, Ty Fyffe & Efrain Rodriguez Jr., Tone Mason, J. Rub, Rich Kidd, Rockwilder, The Futuristiks, Fyre Dept., Freak, M. Phazes, Three Sixty, The Audibles, King David, all do a song each. The man continues to show he has talent still in the tank after almost 20 years blessing our ears and drops another album worth checking out.#1 - 9 (nice beat & has him spitting for 32 bars straight)#2 - 8#3 - 6#4 - 8 (f/ Ready Roc, Runt Dawg, Saukrates -- has one of those annoying auto-tune choruses)#5 - 5 (worst song on the album)#6 - 8.5 (f/ Faith Evans)#7 - 9 (f/ Saukrates, another one of the overused auto-tune choruses -- nice beat)#8 - 9 (another nice beat)#9 - 9 (f/ Ready Roc & Melanie Rutherford -- good beat)#10 - 10 (CLASSIC over a Great beat)#11 - 8.5 (f/ Method Man & Bun B -- nice beat that sounds like one of the many great, old Nintendo beats)#12 - 8.5 (f/ Poo Bear -- good beat)#13 - 9 (Another nice beat)Reggie Noble -- b. 4/17/70 -- Newark, NJCheck all my reviews

Worst album he has ever made. honestly, I am a Redman fan and I have all of his cds. I hate to do this to Mr Reggie but this cd is a joke. This album is like a collection of throw away tracks that never made any albums or mixtapes. Only two songs are good and the rest are just horrible. What is with the slow R&B tracks and the auto tune? Most of the guest emcees aren't worthy and add nothing to the failure called an album. I just can't see Redman giving the okay to drop this cd. Something tells me this was an album owed to the record label and wanted out of his contract. Not sure, the artist must still realize that his reputation and name is still on it. Again, I am huge Redman fan and I really hated to do this to my boy. But, if he is going to have the audacity to release this album, then why can't I tell him and others the truth? Stay away from this album. or buy the two songs that are actually okay. Redman, you owe me for this turd.
