Redman - "Tonight's Da Night"

Free Redman!

redman-blue.jpg

As an avid supporter of the "Free Redman" movement, it's only right that this week's throwback be... Rihanna "Pon De Replay." [watch it now] The shit is so gutter. So hip-hop! I'm sure this is what Def Jam had in mind in 1986. Thanks, President Carter.

It's no secret that I'm a fan of Jay-Z as an artist. However, I'm less than impressed with his skills as an executive. Nigga is looking very Isiah Thomas right now. No, he's not the cause for Def Jam's fall off, but his moves aren't helping much. Maybe we should blame ownership for the philosophy the GM has to follow.

Contrary to popular opinion, I don't think Jay-Z did that great a job as a Rocafella exec. His best product was himself. Sure, they were all popular. Jay-Z was the biggest rapper of his era. That fame didn't translate commensurately to units moved by his underlings. As much shit as I give Cameroon, he was handed Jay-Z's job for a reason and himself became the first Non-Hova Roc artist to go platinum in...

Weren't we supposed to be talking about a video? Oh yeah... I guess we're all to blame for ignoring the Funk Doc when he's not attached at the mouth to Method Man doing some Kid 'N Play shit.

One pant leg up... Sorry LL. You didn't come up with this, no matter what the 16-year-old girls told you in 1996. There was a reason for rolling those shits up, and it wasn't to show off the calves. Niggas had unshoveled snow in front of their spots and shit.

Look at Hurricane Gloria with the burner! This is before they thought we shouldn't be alluding to killing one another off on MTV. Speaking of Hurricane G... what the fuck happened to HER? We need to get her on the milk carton with Christión STAT!

This video is completely grimy and honest... exactly what we come to expect from Redman. The beauty is that after this, he let his personality shine without losing the grime. Well... until recently.

Who would come to a video shoot with a tissue-stuffed nostril? None of these pretty motherfuckers you got running around today are secure enough in their own gangstrosity! Jimmy Jones eating cereal in thermals might be the closest I've seen, but even that is quite contrived.

Ah, instead of getting frustrated with what's left of our dear sweet genre, let's enjoy this clip of Reggie Noble before the Power Stripe. You bring the Ballantine. I got the haze.

  • Like, in all honesty, straight up,
    Fuckin Free Redman.
    I want some new shit, so many rappers out here takin after him and his style, (I'll even go so far as to say I see odd similarities between him and Luda, style, a bit, and just the doses of comedy... hmm...) But yeah, Jay...stop hatin, damn. Run the damn company, and be a FAN of hip hop, not one of those casual ass listeners or those wack ass rappers who think anything other than them or their crew is shit. Anyone growing up under hip hop knew red and his stuff. i mean shit, "I'll be dat" was the fuckin joint when it came out I swear, and I'm in Cali. Someone needs to get off their ass and do something, i need some real hip hop. I hear one more snap song and I'm quitting the culture, I swear it. Even E-40 doin it now... and I was just gettin my Yay Area pride back too.
    anyways, free red and all that shit.

  • Muthafuckin' REDMAN!!!!! About damn time!! One of my top 10 mc's ever. Nigga you said Christion(Blowin Smoke)!!! Wow. You going way back into time.

    Red had a grill a.k.a fronts(y'all remember that) back then.

    Looked like he could've been K-Solo's older or little brother either way he ducked the touchdown gene that Solo got.

    Not to mention this was when guns were allowed to be shown in videos. Good times...good times. Or was this the pilot footage for Smack DVD. Nonetheless a good recipe for a throwback thursday video. Guns + Ganja + Goons= Classic Video.

    p.s. Hurricane G: Knocked up by E Sermon, no deal now a baby mama former rapper. The game probably stole his name from her.

  • Damn, dude was just getting his "Yay" area pride back... Dog, go listen to "I got 5 on it" remix... You'll *feel* better...

    But dude, someone needs to put Red's 1993 photo on the back of a carton of milk, cause THAT NIGGA has been missing for a long time...

    And yes Ron, Red and Meth were like a 2000 version of Kid 'N Play. I could sit through 1 movie, but please, no more.....

  • Dayum...

    It's sad. Because I really liked alot of Bad Boy/Rocafella artists.

    Amil...Bleek, Free, Beans, Gunnerz, Peedi...sucks that they weren't introduced to the rap world properly. What do you think about these guys, Ron?

    What is 50 Cent doing that Jay-Z and Puffy didn't?

  • FREE REDMAN. GILLA HOUSE!!! FUCK JAY as a President Redman helped MAKE DEF JAM and he is getting NO LOVE. FREE REGGIE NOBLE AKA FUNKDOC AKA REDMAN. REDMAN is one of the REALEST to EVER touch the mic, he has been rapping for 10 plus years and his music has NEVER SOLD OUT, he might have sold out buy doing Powerstripe or that lame TV show, but damn dude is getting more money from that then he is a Def Jam. I say STOP showing ANY DEF JAM artist ANY LOVE till REDMANS cd drops. DO not request any def jam music, STOP calling your fav radio station asking for NE-Yo or that hoe that does that SOS CRAP, STOP calling BET request ANY DEF JAM. I say we do FREE REDMAN like they did FREE PIMP C.

  • DR FUH Q MAN esquire says...
  • RON,
    JUST HAVING A BLOG ABOUT REDMAN IS THE REAL!! HOW LONG OF A CONTRACT DID THAT DUDE SIGN ANYWAY?!?!?!

    WE NEED TO START A CAMPAIGN TO HAVE HIM & METH RELEASED. IT WOULD BE MORE PRODUCTIVE THAN THE 'STOP SNITCHING' CAMPAIGN(& FOR A BETTER CAUSE).

    STILL, CAN'T HE DO SOME GUEST SPOTS ON SOMEBODY'S ALBUM?( can u imagine the # of punchlines a song with chino xl would produce?)FUKK IT, PUT THAT DUDE ON A SONG W/ D4L JUST TO SEE IF PEOPLE HATE ON IT.

    P.S.
    THE CASTING OF LARK VOORHIES ALONE MADE 'HOW HIGH' A GOOD MOVIE. MAYBE RED & KEITH MURRY CAN DO A TRACK & LARK COULD BE THE "VIDEO CHICK".
