” Strictly Hardcore Week : 5 “

Based off of a couple show stealing features on EPMD’s “Business As Usual”, people were fiending to hear a Redman debut album…It wasn’t quite “ILLMATIC” expectations but I do recall the anticipation level and the buzz around “Whut? Thee Album” being extremely high at the time…..

FFWD to the new millennium – I still believe REDMAN can rhyme with the best of em – my only problem is that his ear for beats has been questionable for quite sometime, but out of nowhere in 2005 he dropped an atom bomb with the release of the “GILLA HOUSE CHECK” 12 inch….Not sure who produced this joint (it’s not listed on the wax that I have) but they kept it raw which fits REDMAN’s style perfectly…..
