Nov 2, 2025·edited·3 repliesI’m going with Dare Iz a Darkside bc it was the album that got me into 90s rap
My pops had the cassette back in the day, was a red tape. Had the CD too. Listened to it otw to school one day and it changed my life
Red and Erick Sermon refined the sound on Muddy Waters but DIAD feels like it comes from another planet. Yall gotta listen to Red performance on there. He never reached that level again imo. He was funny but the raps/beats were still hard, was a great balance
Feel like after Darkside he started to lean more into the humor and fall back on the raw, gritty sound. A lot of fans don’t realize how hard Red was in the early 90s. Darkside dropped the same year as Ready to Die and Illmatic so it doesn’t get mentioned as much but it was better than albums like Tical imo. It’s def one of my favorite albums oat. One of the best covers too

Muddy Waters is a classic too
Most people would pick that album which I completely understand. The production was cold. Red was still snappin
Nov 2, 2025Muddy Waters but the Dare Iz a Dark side intro is goated
Nov 2, 2025Both are great but I gotta go with Muddy Waters

I agree that’s such a sick story dare iz a darkside just feels so other worldly and in line with the general feel of what makes redman unique its a wild ass album

Darkside got some gems
Nov 3, 2025Dare iz a Darkside was the first Red album I fell in love wit, his debut was ofcourse dope and a classic but when I heard this joint and read the lore behind it f***in clicked. It was Doc at his wildest and most blunted but it’s so f***in good.
MW is kinda the complete Red album tho and it’s a classic ofcourse… he came out the gate killin s***. But I’m going Darkside

At one point Red was regarded as the best in hip hop, by hip hop critics anyway. The Can’t wait video is crazy to watch coming up as a 90s baby from Newark s*** is nostalgic even tho I barely remember the 90s lol
