Yeah, see aside from songs like Green Island, Bobyahed2dis, Tonight's The Night, Basically, Cosmic Slop, and Sooperman Luva II I've never really cared for Dare Iz A Darkside. But then again, I wasn't into Redman back in 94, I wouldn't come around to Redman's stuff until Doc's Da Name so that album was like my introduction to him and Doc's Da Name was a part two to Muddy Waters with more of a commercial angle to it. I like Whut Thee Album but I like Muddy and Doc's the name more because I think it has the kind of production I grew up to and getting into when I was really getting more and more into Hip Hop. Although I had already been a Hip Hop fan a few years before, the late 90's is where I really began to appreciate Hip Hop and come into a wide spectrum of what it was.
