3.0 out of 5 stars Not standard Red, but not bad, December 14, 2010

By 

Mr. Pete - See all my reviews

This review is from: Reggie (Audio CD)

If you are a hardcore Red fan, pick this up, there are good tracks on here.

If you are a more casual fan thats hoping for another Muddy Waters, or something that sounds like any of his other classics, then skip this one.

Redman is my favorite rapper of all time, hands down. For nearly two decades hes been dropping classic after classic. Whut was one of the first tapes I ever had and I been following his career ever since, and have not been let down once. Who knows what the story is behind this album, but its out, and I'm glad to have another Red cd to add to my collection. So what if after almost 20 years he wants to try something different? Red's signature rhyming and gutter flow are still present on every track. Whats mostly different about this album are the beats and hooks - and none of his classic funny skits. Theres tracks on here I really like, and then some I cant get with.

Intro - Great way to start it off. Red doing what he does best - tearing it up over a good beat. Leaves you wanting more.

Thats Where I be - Its a club kinda beat, I been skipping over this one.

Def Jammable - I dig this one. Nice beat with good Bass. His flow is a little different here, along with the chorus, but it sounds good.

Full Nelson - No thanks.

Lift it up - A Dirty South track, I say leave that to the Southren rappers. Not diggin it.

All I do - Sounds like a R&B kinda song. Not bad, take it or leave it.

Lemme Get 2 - The thought of Red doing a softer track makes me cringe, but this isnt bad, I kinda dig it. Red rapping about life and such.

Mic, Lights, Camera, Action - No thanks.

Cheerz - This has become my favorite track on the album. Nice beat with soul and bass, Ready Roc and Red trading verses and both nail it. Melanie Rutherford on the hook and her voice is fantastic!

Rockin with the best - Nice up tempo song, Red kills it, and Kool Moe Dee with some light vocals in the background.

Light 1 witcha boi - Mef, Red, and Bun B come through with good rhymes but this beat is too light and soft for my tastes, this would be a good track to remix over a harder beat.

When the lights go off - Not feelin it.

Tiger Style Crane - Now this is the Red we all know and love. Closes out the album with a good banger, the flow and drums kinda remind me of Gilla House Check off Red Gone Wild.

My advice is if you are a Red fan then pick this up and just bump the tracks you like. After reading some of the other reviews I see people disagree about whats good and bad with this album. Some hated Def Jammble, I love that track. Another person likes Thats Where I be, while I'm not feelin it. Take a chance and decide for yourself. Its starting to grow on me more and more. And Redman, we still love you, thank you for blessing us with another one. Looking forward to Muddy Waters 2!

4.0 out of 5 stars Redman steps out of his comfort zone on "Reggie", February 14, 2011

By

This review is from: Reggie (Audio CD)

If Dick Clark is the world's oldest teenager, then Redman is the world's oldest ten year old. In his 20 year history, he has amassed a long and respectable career as a rapper- sophmoric humor aside. His first three albums are widely considered classic albums- starting with his 1992 debut "Whut? Thee Album", the rather dark sophomore effort "Dare Iz A Darkside", and 1996's "Muddy Waters". He experienced his biggest success with 1998's "Doc's Da Name 2000", an album that garnered him his biggest radio hit as well as a platinum album to boot. Over the years, he has released other solo albums, dabbled in films and done a couple of collaborative albums- notably with Method Man as well as his Def Squad project with Keith Murray and mentor/producer Erick Sermon. While those albums were critically acclaimed and well received, it seemed that Redman was playing it safe, not branching out from his comfort zone- that is until now, when he released his new album "Reggie".

For those expecting a typical Redman album, there are two things that need to be addressed. One: It's a very left of center effort without any songs produced by Erick Sermon. Two: The songs that preceded the release "Lookin' Fly" and "Coc Back" are not on the album. Save for the DJ Khalil produced first single "Def Jammable" and the Rockwilder produced role playing "Mic, Lights, Camera, Action", most of the production on the album is handled by virtual unknowns. While "Reggie" is billed as a "pop record", it's more along the lines of a mature record- look no further than the songs "Lemme Get 2" in which Redman extols in the virtues of travelling and seeing the world and the Faith Evans featured "All I Do", which he dedicates to his fans. While this album is devoid of any Erick Sermon production, the closing track "Tiger Crane Style" sounds very much like something he would have done. Lastly, no Redman album would be complete without the signature weed song. In this case, it's "Lite 1 Witcha Boi" featuring Method Man and Bun B- reprising his appearance with them after appearing on their 2009 album "Blackout 2". A couple of the songs on "Reggie" could have been left off- such as "Lift It Up" and the bland "Whn The Lights Go Off". "Reggie" is a project worth checking out, but it's not for everyone. It's going to take a few spins to truly get into this album- as it is completely different from anything Redman has ever done.
