FIRST TIME HEARING Redman - Dare Iz A Darkside ALBUM REACTION 

The beats were so dark, funky and grimy; the lyrics were crazy and wild as hell. Definitely one of my favorite hip hop albums of all time.

Yep yep my Favourite Redman Album🤫

This and muddy waterz is one the albums that pioneered lo-fi sound of the 2010s.

Yo, the producers (I'm assuming mostly Erick Sermon) were in the zone as well. Love it

Mine too

The bass on this still hasn't been reproduced. The base is so fucking heavy

@@jarethlarwood6445 Redman Produced a Majority of it.

Man, when a dope rapper also makes fat beats I appreciate them a LOT more.

Redman is more of a battling/freestyling rapper while nas is more a lyrical penmanship rapper.

True.

Love a rapper that you can tell make songs that THEY love, E-40, Andre Nickatina and Devin the Dude all give me that same impression

That’s insane. He is technically WAY more lyrical than Nas. As in he uses more words, and wordplay than Nas does. Nas is straight up. And affective. 100% soul and heartfelt. Redman does not do heartfelt stuff, he does verbal gymnastics. So if you consider “lyrical“ the most experimental with words, Redman has Nas beat hands-down. But if you use the word “lyrical“ as in having the most emotional impact, it’s def Nas. Love them both. Edit: never liked skits/interludes either

@@TheColdrush22 redman is technical when he wants to be. However red is a raw straight to the point, culture reference, battle rapper and freestyler. While nas is more of a pen lyricist and storyteller.

Different strokes for different folks. This was my favorite one from him off the first listen. I love that funk spacey shit that Erick Sermon was on during this era

​@@sportsfan1496the crazy thing is redman produced the majority of the album...

"Where Am I" from The New Jersey Drive soundtrack would of fit in perfectly too with this album

​@@aharris82facts, another bonus song for the album.

The production on this album goes so fuckin hard, Red is a crazy crazy underrated producer, I don’t think most people realize that he solely produced or co produced every song on this record, album manages to be funky while also being super dark it’s such a sick mixture. Absolute classic of a record

Word up! If you know you know👊🏿🤝🏿

Well I guess this album will never be for me then.

@@JustJammin No doubt..it's kind of niche..between the weed..parliament E Sermon production..and all Red's references this album & Red was something we never heard before. Worked well at the time. Your assessment is on par with mines..album heats up once you get 4/5 joints in. Which isnt bad for a album with this many joints. Luv your work and diligence!! 💯👊🏽💪🏾

Co-sign

Cosmic Slop is the soundtrack to being any kind of faded lmaoo

His tough time brought out the best in him on this album. Red needs to be slapped lol

He was a friend of redman who passed away at the time red was working on this album

Redman is one of the rappers that used the rubix cube and off candance flow alongside rass kass, krs one, Keith murray, chino xl, busta rhymes and ect during the end of the early 90s. Which rappers copy in the mid 90s to present day.

@@maroon9273 ND #rasskass sons on #coastcontra is crazy. Dope freestyles I've seen so far

This is where eminem got his style from alongside treach.

Muddy Waters just had more variety in its production.

@@mosaicblue121 redman was hitting so many bars on muddy waters from the beginning to the end and great story telling. I really enjoyed both albums interludes and skits. Both are landmark albums of hip hop especially redman first album in 92 which is the dark/slow year of East coast hip hop.

I can't wait for you to hear Green Island

That’s ableist.

@@MichaelLesesne fuckouttahere it was a joke. Get over it!

I know it's just I'm not a fan of them generally.

@@JustJammin All good bro. Just fuckin wit you.

@@JustJammin idc nigga learn to like it

That track short track 9 Rockefella was quite interesting. It used the “amen break” that was popular in drum&bass electronics at the time.

Oh snap. Green island track - Bill Bixby played the original “incredible hulk” on the show. And he did indeed split his pants. Lol.

Chocolate City

What would you consider a Redman head?

@@JustJamminYou stated that you wasn't a fan of Muddy Waters I believe. If you didn't feel that one, there's no way you was gonna get this album. You wasn't even catching all the metaphors he was spitting. Can't just hear Redman, gotta listen to him. It isn't always about the beat. For the true heads, this is his best album.

@@kc718201 Not true, I really enjoyed that album as I stated in my review of it as I said in this review as well. Also just because I wasn't going crazy over everything he said doesn't mean I wasn't catching a lot of it. Sure I probably missed a few things here and there but mind you I had lyrics up the entire time. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pPZURVCdKkY.html&ab_channel=JustJammin%27

I think youse are both right. On one hand you catch more shit than 99 percent of people listening and, esp for your age but just in general, you have a broad set of cultural references that help you see the millions of call backs and samples he weaved into his music. It's complex as hell but you're doing yeoman's work diciphering it, for sure. On the other hand, the brother makes a great point. Redman made sfeadhh progress during his career in crafting songd that average Joe's could vibe to. He had considerable success in doing so, similar to how Sean Price did in discarding the elevated insanity and Godbody lyrics to create hilarious bully rap after Heltah Skeltah fell apart. Those albums are much more accessible to new Redman fans, and I'm sure this is not an easy listen to the uninitiated. As I said in an earlier comment this is really avant garde stuff, and is so wierd it's shocking he had as much success as he had. It also explains why MCs love him. Eminem said he was his favorite for a reason. FWIW I can't even picture an album this dense and bananas bejng created today, let alone being released by a major label. It's kinda gratifying after I read the all the comments that most people agreed that this album is amazing, but far from an easy listen. As far as confusing him with method man? Pfffff. Love meth but man, there's no comparison.

I'm like quarter way in watching this, and I do agree with this too on a generalistic side. This one of my favourite albums and redman is my favourite rapper The album is wild and some may not like it but if you are a true Redman head you will love it off the rip On a side note - I really wanna see what your reaction was hearing Green Island 🤣

Yup a cool little nod.

1994

I wish busta rhymes would've been featured on tonites da nite remix. Wild styles together would've been insane.

You found it

Rockafella remix

It's not that I don't like them, I personally think they add a lot of character to an album but I'd prefer an actual song as opposed to a interlude.

@@JustJammin lol bruh interludes set up the song I love some not all interludes tho

Timestamp you're referencing?

I don't mind rap but I much prefer conscious stuff. Albums like these aren't bad but they'll never come close to albums like soul on ice or takes a nation of millions for me personally.

@@JustJammin I hear you and I agree on some conscious rap like the joints you mentioned. We all have our tastes for sure. I can at least commend you for even reviewing an album like black mafia life and dare is s darkside. Most reviewers stick with the popular artists...Eminem Jay z Kanye dr Dre pac. Hip hop is much more than just them. So kudos for going against the grain even if I don’t agree with your assessment

@@bobbydigital3061 Much love!

Lmao yeah this nigga look mad soft

@@The808Mixmaster 90% of these kids have no life experience outside of what they see on a screen. No character. Nothing authentic anymore.

@@mr.nihilz3283 exactly 💯 they didn't go thru shit!

He turned it into a classic

This album is a certified classic and considered one of reds, most people consider this his 2nd best record behind muddy waters
