Muddy Waters

Rolling Stone (2/6/97, p.49) - "...ranks as one of the most consistent MCs in rap....Erick Sermon's beats are stripped down but tight--designed both to make you move and to give Redman plenty of room to let loose his nasty tongue....choppy, offbeat verses and memorable call-and-response choruses..." Q (4/97, p.128) - 3 Stars (out of 5) - "...Packed with blunted melodies, spattered with skits, MUDDY WATERS is impressively self-possessed....Redman remains unshakable, hardcore to the bone." Muzik (2/97, p.111) - 8 out of 10 - "...raggedy, head-top rhyming. The Screamin' Jay Hawkins of hip hop." Vibe (2/97, p.106) - "...MUDDY WATERS slides in and finds Redman crashing back to Earth--equally intense, funny....The best moments on MUDDY WATERS come on the songs Redman produced himself....boundless energy and raging fire." The Source (2/97, p.79) - 4 Mics - Slammin' - "Def Squad lion Redman has no problem blazing up the path between mainstream and the underground....The sonic approach creates a dance-floor friendly vibe which seems perfectly appropriate for the Funk Dr. Spock's return to dry land..." Rap Pages (2/97, p.59) - "...expect to excavate the usual Funkadelic relic remains, namely hard hittin' funk tracks frequently anchored by hooks utilizing snippets of other Hip-Hop tunes....MUDDY WATERS greatest strength is in its flow..."
