Another deluxe reissue from Def Jam! Many consider Muddy Waters Redman’s most classic album. It features the Erick Sermon produced “Whateva Man,” with its Blues Brothers inspired video and mellow beat. The album is filled with the punchy one liners and comical metaphors that the Newark MC is best known for. He’s got the Heat references on “On Fire” and the hardcore thugging of “Creepin’.” And then there’s the battle rhymes most notably apparent on “Pick It Up.” It’s all housed in the 3D lenticular covers that Def Jam has been turning out for their 30th anniversary. Top notch release, recommended for all you hip hop heads.
