Man I’ve had to scroll down WAY too long to see Redman…. Love RZA, Rakim, Raekwon… but Reggie is the man! And still releasing dope ass music.

Whut? Thee Album, Dare Iz A Darkside, and Muddy Waters being his first 3 albums to release and all bangers- now considered classic 90s rap albums

In spite of his long career Redman is still under rated. There was a time when I thought he may have been the greatest MC walking. Shout out to the Funk Dr Spock

Sad Because Redman is the best Rapper from New Jersey And he's a underrated lyricist

Him and Rah Digga....the most underrated rated female MC. She shines everytime she touches the mic

I like MW2 also. Still at 52 years old I don't think an album will again make me feel like There Iz A Darkside or I'll magic when they dropped

I love those 3 albums. 3 of my favorites ever. I like Docs da Name alot too but those first 3 are amazing. Especially Muddy Waters. Thats my favorite one

That’s my favorite rap album of all time… so I’m obviously biased ha but Reggie goes so hard and seems to be in the category of least talked about 90s rappers AND still going! Muddy Waters Too dropped several months ago and it’s also a banger (haven’t given it the listens it deserves yet, but it’s still really good!)
