Is Redman in your all time top 10?

[H.S.]

Objectively? Hell no.

Personally? Not quite. More like top 30, maybe.

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

These minor details get jumbled around in my head. All I remember is P emerged with the W

Nobody born after 75 has KRS in their top 10.

Born 1980. He's somewhere 6-9 with Big, Pac and Jay.

 

[mobbinfms]

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

P almost shot Pac at a crowded event one time.
It's not his fault that he bent down to tie his Timbs and that coward Pac ran like a coward

Nobody born after 75 has KRS in their top 10.

I think some do though. The same way people born in 00s have Pac, Cube & BIG

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.

They're not and meant little to nothing when they dropped and flopped

I'd say you should be banned from this subforum and relegated to JBO, but that'd be an insult to the sex freaks of that forum. You need to be sent to the bushes.

Yeah, his unique and entertaining style, delivery, and charisma does it for me. His discography is excelletn and pretty slept on. He's near the bottom tho. First 5 are roguhly in order, last 5 (6-10) are not:

Rakim
Kool G rap
Canibus
Black Thought
Nas
Pharoahe Monch
Common
Eminem
MF DOOM
Redman

[The Ruler 09]

No, not in my top 20, respect and like him though.

Black Thot and Cannotbus in front of Reggie?

 

[Big Mel]

I don't think he's very funny at all. Like, I actually find Pun & G Rap funnier. shyt, Erick & Parrish were funnier in their day. Red's comedy is kinda obnoxious. He's no Sean Price or Devin.


That said, I'm a huge fan and if I was a list guy he'd probably land anywhere from 15-20 given my mood.

Black Thot and Cannotbus in front of Reggie?

This is how I see it:

Redman vs Black thought
Technical lyrical ability: BT
Flow: reggie
Storytelling: BT
Delivery: Redman
Socially Conscious/content: BT
Quotables/punchlines: Not sure, I would go with redman but I think BT can go bar for bar with him and might win. Tie for now
Ability to Battle/diss : Not sure, tie
Originality: redman
Discography: BT
Overall:
BT- 5
redman- 3
2 ties
BT wins

Redman vs Canibus
Technical lyrical ability: Canibus but its sort of close
Flow: Redman
Storytelling: Canibus
Delivery: redman
Socially Conscious/content: Canibus
Quotables/punchlines: Canibus
Ability to Battle/diss : Canibus
Originality: Redman
Discography:Redman
Overall:
Canibus-5
Redman- 4
Even if you take out the battle category it would be a tie, but I would still choose canibus over redman. BTW canibus renegaded redman twice, once on 4321, and another time on Beast from the east (with a CRAZY verse).

"We knew he (canibus) was a fukkING BEAST"- Redman on DJVLAD the other day

It's not just what he says. How he delivers his lines is just funny to me.
