How would you rate RedMan as a rapper?

To me he is more clownlike than a serious rapper. I will never get over his Cribs ep.

Great rapper.

He has everything an MC should have. Lyrics, storys, charisma, style.

scriptgirl, have you heard Redman's 1st 2 albums? They're not only better than 90% of what's out today, they're classics. Redman is one of the great MCs in hip-hop history. Absolutely killed it in his prime. Don't let Cribs fool you.

nod I haven't heard Cribs but his first 3 lp's were solid (I vaguely remember Doc's the Name). He flies somewhat under the radar in terms of mainstream popularity--I personally sometimes forget to namecheck him-- but he's definitely one of the best to ever do it.

The reason I said "don't let Cribs fool you" was exactly because he parodied the show -- and the materialism of modern-day hip-hop -- on the show itself. Hilarious.

IMO, he's top 20 on any best rapper list.

His combination of lyrical prowess nd humor is top notch. Only Ludicris comes close in that category.
