I be the super-lyrical individual I be splittin through
That Teflon material to knock Big Ben off of schedule
Better move with a set of tools
I be doin it to mics when I'm a, heterosexual
I load the mic then cock, drop it like three-quarters
When I slaughter don't get, caught in the water
Cause the Brick's got it's own World Order
Leave your bytch in shock like the third rail caught her
Styles stay deeper than orca, I float the seven seas with ease
Did more drugs than pharmacies
So call me that lyrical Genovese, you can't compare
Get you steppin like stairs, frats, sororities
Don't make me bring it on back I fukk up the majority
Of nikkas lookin hard at me, I Port 'em like Authority
And when my nikka Meth shine
Out the inner How High mobile rollin three dimes at a time
(Redman and Method Man still... "hiiiigh hiiiiiiiiigh")
It's that Jersey representer
Get hit from the bottom to your head when you enter
How is one man this good at rapping?
Can we just appreciate Redman's verse on this
Who the fukk I be I, you cannot see I
Flabbergasted, blasted, my Magnum P.I
Oops I lie, I got a cannon bout the size of Grand Canyon
I'm prime time, giving MC's Knots Landing
Duck, heavens to fukkin Mergatroid
I drop noise that employs the unbelievable
Recline like receding hairline, crime speaks fine
With a nine pull line blind keep mines up my sleeve until
You start to quiver, metabolism splits rivers
I rock so many broads I leave your entourage tender
Like bartenders mix liquor
I serve you over the rocks, I feed you to my flock, now time to click triggers
Manslaughter in alphabetical order for four quarters
Raw water turn sons to grandaughters
Ah ha ha ha ha! I bring trouble where, you sleep
So I double dare to bust you in your bubble bear, coat
Antidotes cause gunsmoke in Tokyo
MC's dosey doe your mics up in this rodeo
My star roast em up by the thousands, millions, quadrillions
Shuttin down national state buildings with high ceilings
Funk Doc to the spot freeze
Creepin on MC's like Vietnamese in army fatigues
Def Squad representer
Hit yo' ass up from the bottom when you enter
I don't think its one of the 5 best albums from 96
How the hell is Muddy Waters not elite?
Pick it Up....Whateva Man
Whut? is better but not by much
Those first three solos are top tier
I disagree about the production.
Yeah you do
Stop lying to yourself
I don't think there was anything "accessible" aobut Muddy Waters. shyt was grimy
I be the super-lyrical individual I be splittin through
That Teflon material to knock Big Ben off of schedule

Cause the Brick's got it's own World Order
Leave your bytch in shock like the third rail caught her
Styles stay deeper than orca, I float the seven seas with ease
Did more drugs than pharmacies

This was the one that got hip hop quotableThe 2nd verse though
Hah.. yo, suck my dikk out of animosity
The velocity will fly that head and freeze yo' camps like pottery
To give lobotomies to all you rap colonies
And shut your million dollar investment, to economy
And possibly might be the one in black leather
Name tag sayin "Caution when wet by the track wetter"
The hash spreader, I love the grimy shyt
Even my girl did grimy shyt to me and I went back with her
Three years for carrying a loaded handgun
But it's forever when a nikka [chik-chik BLAAAOW] and he lands one
To your cranium
That red dot on your forehead it's not cause you Arabian
(Yo watch you say to him!)
You caught up in a tight situation
I should start erasin your whole organization for makin
Wack tunes while my whole platoon rock the basement
You couldn't come close if I gave you my booking agent
Or producer, royalty points twelve shot loaded Luger
Even a crowd to get you souped up - you're still wack
I peel caps, on the regular
Destroy MC's et cetera, creep like The Predator
fukk you, your label moms and yo' editor
Give you two to the jugular, blood be spreadin
All on my shirt, the king of the flirt, shyttin
bytches hit me off more than New Edition
(Tweet-tweet-tweet-tweet, tweet-tweet-tweet-tweet)
I make them pigs heart skip a beat from the steel physique
So Iron Lung (one me gun done)
Get on the mic and break em off a sumthin sumthin
You had to be there.@mobbinfms
those singles you named with the exception of How High didn't necessarily chart higher than the singles off Muddy Waters so I don't know how you qualify them being superior or not. I think the Muddy Waters songs are just as good or thereabouts.
As for the production, yes it was grimy but it was a perfect balance imo. I mean first off it went away from the funk sound of the first two albums, and it was less grimy than the distorted funk used on the second album. It had a more refined and clean sound. Some songs aren't that grimy.
And to not be top 5 of 1996 (which it is) just speaks to how great 1996 was and how many top tier albums were released that year.
Blow Your Mind and Time for some action were number one rap singles though@mobbinfms

Btw it's remarkable just how influenced Redman was by the GOAT
sampling his voice, using his catchphrases and sayings, naming mixtapes after his projects
