Genuine question that applies to more than just this album. It probably should be its own thread. But, in your minds, do you guys feel like an album should be judged less harshly if it's known ahead of time that the people making the album didn't really give a fukk?

That's an over simplification, but basically I heard someone saying Steppington doesn't really have much substance on it, and they also said they thought Redman needed more substance in his music to be an elite emcee, etc. So I was like, if Ev and Al said ahead of time they just fukking rapped about nothing and put a dozen or so joints on a disc and called it the album, shouldn't that be taken into account when "serious music critics" review it?

Like a summer action flick or comedy shouldn't be reviewed the same way a serious drama is reviewed. I think Redman is one of the best, and he's not pretending to be some deep and thoughtful dude, so I don't judge his music that way. I'd review his albums based on what he does, not what I think he should be doing.

Anyone else agree? No? Am I even making sense? I'm sick with the flu, so sorry if this doesn't make sense.

Some of my favorite albums ever are the ones where the rappers are just having fun out there

I was listening to this all the way through on my way to Austin and hit me that these dudes were just having fun on this album. They weren't trying to prove anything and they didn't take themselves too seriously. All the beats knock in the car and its just a overall immaculate package. I need a couple of more months to decide if I put this above Albert Einstein.

They made the album they wanted to make and it's good music. That's all I can ask for. I wasn't expecting Good Kid Mad City or some elaborate concept album from these guys. I just wanted a good hip hop album and they gave it to us. Like Phonte said "dope beats, dope rhymes what more do ya'll want?"

And as far as substance you have songs like See The Rich Man Play, Tomorrow and Draw Something.

I may be different but take an album like MIC Tyson by Sean Price, that album slaps from start to finish and I don't think there is one song with a concept but to me it's a great album.

he got extra monotone by the 2nd or 3rd Dilated album too.. he was letting Rakaa legit outshine him after The Platform...he finally started rhyming in his real voice and i think it reinvigorated him. def made me give him a 2nd shot, i had written him off.

LISTEN TO WHAT HE SAID ON JUST STEP

if the songs jam, they can be about ANYTHING. the damn LIks are a great example of classic fun, theme-less albums.

That joint with Psycho Les goes crazy and AL is ridiculous with those samples!
