Album Review

The sound Redman achieves on this album is characteristic of his previous albums. With production credits going mostly to Erick Sermon, the bass-intensive and melodic beats on "Doc's Da Name 2000" allow Redman to deliver the raw Newark, NJ, flow for which he's known and liked. Redman himself produced a few of the songs on this album, including "Jersey Yo!" A mildly funny skit that describes the attitude of a certain Little Bricks resident precedes this selection. There are actually five skits on the album, which, like most skits on an often-played album, become very unfunny after a few repetitions. On "Jersey Yo!," Redman uses a slow and funky guitar sound over tight drums and a fluid bass line. Redman is also responsible for the production of "Da Goodness," a song that features Busta Rhymes. The instrumentation in this song has a futuristic, almost minimal, sound that mimics a lot of the music Busta Rhymes frequently flows over. Not stopping there, Redman spits lyrics in "Da Goodness" with what could be identified as Busta's lyrical style -- and he does it well. The result is an entertaining song that exemplifies Redman's skill as a talented lyricist and producer. "Beet Drop," another cut produced by Redman, is a brief but funny cover of the Beastie Boys' "It'S The New Style." ~ Qa'id Jacobs, All Music Guide
