That's because it's not a depressing album.

It is? It's a dark album...not angry or sad or frustrating even. Redman has actually never taken on any topics. The album doesn't sound depressing at all. It sounds like a hard mid-90s east coast hip-hop album about smoking weed and how nice of an MC he is. Nothing depressing at all.
