Is Redman in your all time top 10?

[Man]

Threads like these demonstrate the booth hiphop knowledge and musical taste

redman is always worthy of top 10 discussion

Influenced a lot of styles too. Eminem and Biggie ("shut the fukk up u still a dikk rider") Smallz being the most obvious ones

I can't with the disrespect of Redman in this thread.

First of all, he's probably not in my top 10. That's no disrespect to him at all.

Second, you won't find many rappers who have 3 classic albums back to back. I consider Whut, Dare, and Muddy Waters classics. What more do they need? Excellent production from Red/Sermon, shift in style from one to the next to the third, Redman blacking out on damned near every track, and the comedy/weed smoke element. Doc 2000 isn't a classic, but it's a good album. Plus his collabos with Meth actually worked out.

One of the best rappers to come out from that era. Plus he was about that life. Remember that rant Prodigy had at the beginning of The Infamous? "nikkas talking about getting high, and spaceships and all that bullshyt?" Redman actually went all the way out to Queensbridge, confronted Prodigy and asked if there was beef. Prodigy didn't want any of that

So yeah. Not top 10, but give the mans his due. He's as bonafied a legend as any of them come.

He's in my all time top 2

 

[BmoreGorilla]

Yeh man. And Red is more influential than people sometimes give him credit for --> he birthed Busta's style, Eminem's style (this one counts against him though lol), Luda's Style

He didn't birth Busta's style one bit

 

[Dafunkdoc_Unlimited]

Nope, and I'm from NJ. He's a legend in the game though, without question.​

I think he influenced Busta's morph from the rah rah, to the comedic actual bars.

Y'all gonna stop with the Reggie hate though. A lot of y'all never heard a Cube album, a Rakim album, a KRS album or any such to have them in y'all top 10.

Wasn't that Keith Murray? And I don't remember Prodigy being there. Either way, Keith Murray was lucky to escape with his life going at the gawd P :pdahell:

I think Hit Squad generally (or Def Squad) made an approach but it was Keith who took charge of the situation.

Unfortunately for Keith, his face was rocked, brain stabbed with the nose bone.

Redman approached them in QB. The Keith Murray incident took place outside the Tunnel

I can see that

Yes

 

[feelosofer]

Yup he's #9 on my all time list but he's my #1 favorite rapper.

When has anything ever happened to anyone for beefing with P?

Nobody born after 75 has KRS in their top 10.
