Doc's the Name (Clean) [Clean]

Amazon.com
The pride of Newark takes a slow rumble through hip-hop's history on his fourth album, jacking whatever beats he takes a shine to: Ice Cube, Audio Two, and the Beastie Boys all get their hits heavily rewritten, and on the closing Roni Size collaboration, "I Got A Secret," he invents a dazed, earthy style of drum 'n' bass rhyming. As the title suggests, there's some conceptual/identity overload going on here, but Redman's spilling over with sly turns of phrase and goofy allusions (as well as gratuitous chickenhead/baby-mama baiting), and his Def Squad teammate Erick Sermon lightens up on his trademark swampy boom, giving himself more room to cram his word hoard into. Every imaginable space is full of blunted puns, fleeting samples, and yelps of "Yo!" --Douglas Wolk

Switch From Aaron To Roy, And Give You "Primal Fear".......2007-02-01

In 1998, rap music experienced a high level of commercial acceptance and exploitation, the magnitude of which had scarcely been seen before. Most major record labels embraced artists whose images and portrayals revolved around financial decadence, violence, and substance abuse. These are issues that have always been somewhere in the mix of hip-hop culture, but in the late '90s such subjects took total precedence over previously, at least equally, appreciated subjects such as lyrical agility, humor, positivity, and self-awareness. Redman represents a few of these attributes -- humor and lyrical agility in particular -- on Doc's da Name 2000. 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 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 bassline. 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 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." Other MCs that join Redman here include Method Man on "Well All Rite Cha"; Double O, Tame, Diezzel Don, Gov-Mattic, and Young Z (of the Outsiders) on "Close Ya Doorz"; Markie and Shooga Bear on "My Zone!"; and Erick Sermon and Keith Murray on "Down South Funk." Fans should note that the latest episode of "Sooperman Lova (IV)" is witness to "sooperman lova switching to sooperman villain." The last selection on this album is a gem -- a rhyme delivered over a jungle (aka drum'n'bass) rhythm track that was produced by the well-known Roni Size. A close look at the liner notes reveals an additional unique item on Doc's da Name 2000: Redman had A&R, marketing, and project coordination responsibilities on this album -- a scenario not often seen in the music industry.

Still Tight Enough To Bobyahed2dis {4.5 Stars}.......2007-01-03

I'm a HUGE Redman fan. There's something intangible about Redman that endears him to hip hop lovers on so many levels. After dropping classics like Muddy Waters, Whut Thee Album, and Dare Iz A Darkside, my guess would be that fans were expecting more of that grimy production that was so prevelant on his previous releases. I think the complaints are because this was the first Redman album that garnered less than 5 stars, but a lot of those complaints are totally baseless -- Redman don't make bad albums (Malpractice was less than stellar, but still good). Even though things where slightly different on this joint, the production from Erick Sermon, Rockwilder, and Red himself is still on point (and really not all that different -- just tweaked a lil' bit). You can still expect all the routine Redman staples -- the typical Def Squad collabo with E Double and Mr. Murray, a Soopaman Lova sequel (this time with the underrated Dave Hollister on the hook), Method Man collabo, etc...

The first problem to jump out at me was the abundance of overdone skits. While it was hilarious on the Dare Is A Darkside LP and mildly funny on the Muddy Waters LP, this time out Red runs a lot of the very same jokes into the ground and they come off kind of stale. Outside of that, there are only one or two joints on the album that are kind of "eh" (D.O.G.S. & My Zone) in my opinion, but nothing on the album is wack.

Doc's Da Name is one of the best rap LPs to come out in '98. The sound may be a little different from his previous releases, but Doc can get down over any beat and still come off. I recommend adding this album to your collection.

Standout Tracks: Beet Drop, Da Goodness feat. Busta Rhymes, Jersey Yo!, Boodah Break, I'll Bee Dat!, Well All Rite Cha feat. Method Man, Get It Live, Keep On '99, Cloze Ya Doorz feat. Double O, Tame, Diezzel Don, Roz, Gov-Mattic, & Young Z (My Favorite), I Got A Secret, and Dah Dah DaHHH

A Good solid album,probably better than Muddy Waters.......2006-04-29

A lot of people underrate this album for some reason (me used to being one of them) and now I listened to it. I feel stupid for thinking that this album would be average since Red is amazing lyrically.

Favorite tracks:
"Da Dah Dahhhh"
"Get It Live"
"D.O.G.S"
"Brick City Mashin'"

A poor effort by a good MC.......2005-03-04

For my money, this album is just not up to par with redman's earlier work. I suggest Dare Iz a Darkside or Muddy Waters. Both have much better beats, hooks, etc. Or check out 'Whut? Thee Album' if you're looking for the old school P-funk sound.

BRILLIANT.......2004-06-22

ONCE AGAIN REDMAN AKA REGGIE NOBLE BRINGS IT ON THIS ALBUM FILLED WITH CREATIVE LYRICS AND GREAT BEATS. REDMAN SHOULD GET MORE RESPECT ESPECIALLY WHEN HE COMES OUT WITH AN ALBUM AS GREAT AS THIS ONE. ITS MY FAVORITE OF HIS AND I LISTEN TO IT TIL THIS DAY SO BUY IT AND GIVE HIM SOME RESPECT NOT DUMB ARTISTS WITH NO TALENT LIKE LIL JON.

The phattest CD ever made........1999-06-07

This is one the best rappers in the business, and he proved it with this album.

Funk doc combines hip hop flow with awsome lyrics........1999-05-11

1998 produced many great rap albums ranging from Outkasts Aquemini to Method Mans' Tical 2000 but with out a doubt Redmans Doc's the Name 2000 was the best album of the year. Funk Doctor Spot with his crazy lyrics combined with fellow Def Squad member Erick Sermon's dope producing created an awsome album that ranks as one of the top 10 best hip-hop albums of all time. Even if you are not a Redman fan the compilation of Method Man, Busta Rhymes and Keith Murray make for an elite album. When purchusing this album you will not be disappointed.

this is tight.......1999-05-06

he has great and tight lyrics in i'll be dat and every other song he nows what to say and he's hip he is one of the best ever
