EDITORIAL REVIEWS |
Amazon.com
Malpractice, the fifth installment of the Funk Doc saga, builds upon Redman's earlier madness and takes it a step further. He sums it up in "Lick a Shot": "I'm a MC/ I don't think/ Like you rap superstars'll think." Meaning: yeah, he's got a formula, but it's uniquely his own. Whether you'll dig it this time around is the question, and the answer comes down to personal taste. Do you like lyrically intricate songs? Do you like smoking hot beats (compliments of the Green Eyed Bandit himself, Erick Sermon)? Are you into extreme misogyny and violence? How's your tolerance for songs about trying to get into nightclubs? All of this can be found in Malpractice. The album is creative, often clever, and filled with violent, nightmarish imagery. Even the insert artwork is unsettling. This won't be an issue to diehard Redman fans who've eagerly awaited this long-delayed release. When all is said and done, this album is worth listening to, if only to catch up with Reggie Noble's funniest alter ego, Soopaman Lova--this time he's searching for his MIA mojo. --Rebecca Levine |

5th solo is worth 4.5 stars by G$ (B-More, MD)  5 Stars
November 11, 2008
Redman returns after 2 and a half year swith his 5th solo, and it's another 4.5 star very nice effort. Of the 5 solo albums I have (all are 4.5 or very high 4 star albums), this is one of the better ones, but all of his albums are very good. This one is long, like most, with 18 songs (one Redman isn't on), of the 18, 3 ar eok, the other 15 are good, with most being real good, no classics though. Guests aren't too heavy, on only about a third of the songs, so you get a lot of the Funk Doc on this one. Production is very nice as well. Erick Sermon nicely does the majority (8 of the 18 songs), Redman does 4, Rockwilder does 2, Bog Sozz, Diverse, DJ Twinz, and Adam F all do 1 song. A very nice album for fans of his of the Def Squad to have and a top 20 album of 2001.

Funk Doc precribed some bad meds (2 and 1/2 stars) by Nuisance (Miami)  2 Stars
June 06, 2007
How do you see an album like this one coming? What Thee Album, Dare Iz A Darkside, Muddy Waters and Doc's Da Name 2000 were all great albums. So why does this stink. 1. He sounds uninspired on here. 2. He has too many of his local homies who all (except for Icarus and Jamal) suck. The Good: Aside from the commercial tracks like Let's Get Dirty and Smash Sumthin(which are good) he has only three others which are standouts. Uh Huh is vintage Redman. Real N****z(featuring Scarface, Mally G, Icarus and Treach) is one of the best songs on here minus Treach's weak verse. Scarface, Mally G and Icarus stole the show on that one. Enjoy Da Ride is the best track on here with Method Man, Saukrates& Streetlife contributing some solid verses on the track right along with Redman. The skits are pretty humorous also(the Jerry Swinger being the funniest out of them all). The Bad: Songs like Lick A Shot, Diggy Doc and Muh F**** are as dull as it gets. And dont get me started on Bricks Two featuring all his garbage homies(D-Don sounds like a New Jersey version of D12's Bizarre) who stink up the track worser than it had to be. The Ugly: Songs llke Whut I'ma Do Now, DoggzII, J.U.M.P., Da Bull****(Icarus was alright on here but its still a suspect track) and the ultrawack Soopaman Luva(parts I&2) should have been Shaquille O'Neal slam dunked into the studio trash can. Dat B****(featuring Missy who adds nothing to the track) is the dumbest track that Redman has ever made period! Bottom Line: Redman should be sued for Malpractice(literally). The beats stunk, Redman sounded bored on most tracks and the guest appearances were weak. To put it bluntly: the skits were better than the album itself. Never mind that Redman himself said that this album was weak. Listen to his previous albums then listen to this and you will see how much of a dud it is.

Comming Live From WKYA (Rating: 7 out of 10- -3.5 stars) by Chandler (Atlanta (College Park), Georgia)  3 Stars
January 31, 2007
Reggie "Redman" Noble's fifth album "Malpractice" to me is a solid album compared to his recent albums. People say that this is his worst that he has dropped in his career, and I have to agree. To me, this album doesn't hit as hard as his first three, but it is still an album worth hearing. I believe that people thought that the concept of this album has gotten a little old to them. He is still halarious behind the mic, and that is why we like him so much.
To me, there are a lot of lackluster tracks here. "Diggy Doc" and "Lick A Shot" doesn't sound appealing to me. But the next few tracks "Lets Get Dirty" and the team up on "Real ******" with Scarface, Trech, Icarus and Jamal sound hot as well. Some other tracks that I find unappealing are "Muh-*****" and the dry sounding "Dat *****" with Missy Eliott and Jewell.
There are some hot tracks on here that are on here. Aside from the few that I named, "Enjoy The Ride" with Method Man, Streetlife, and Saukrates to me is probably the best track on here. "Bricks II" is another hot one as Redman lets Roz, Double O, D-Don, and Shooga Bear take control of the song and he shows up at the end. Another one that I thought was nice as was the funkadellic track "J.U.M.P." with George Clinton.
Also, most of Redman's albums are known for humorous skits. They are funny on this album, but then after a while, they loose their replay value. A few of them are rehased from the "Muddy Waters" album.
If you like Redman, don't hesitate to buy this album. It's worth owning. It is just not as appealing as his first three, but it is still hot. Redman can still keep a flow and can be funny, but there are many dry parts that flow throughout this album.

| Doc's Da Name 2000
by Redman
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...

| Whut? Thee Album
by Redman
The last of hip-hop's great party albums, Whut? never had to take itself too seriously and Redman made sure you didn't either. His weed-fueled rhyme-flow sizzled on the album's many P-Funk inspired tracks (courtesy of EPMD's Erick Sermon), and many songs ("Time 4 Sum Aksion," "Rated R"), jumped with an energy that tore the roof off and burned the house down. But more than just churn out bouncy club anthems, Redman showcased a wit ("How to Roll a Blunt") and laid-back flair ("Tonight's the...

| Red Gone Wild: Thee Album
by Redman
Jersey boy, sometime actor, longtime rapper Redman ends to a five-year album hiatus with Red Gone Wild. "Thee Album," as its subtitle suggests, slings all the comeback bravado it can. From the opening bump of "Fire," Redman rolls out his own red carpet, strutting the whole way. "Rite Now" swipes and recalls the thumping throwback funk Redman first exploited well with 1994's Muddy Waters, and "Freestyle Freestyle" adds a heavy shuffle to that. Throughout, Redman and a bevy of guests saunter...
