Jersey boy, sometime actor, longtime rapper Redman ends to a five-year album hiatus with Red Gone Wild. "Thee Album," as its subtitle suggests, slings all the comeback bravado it can. From the opening bump of "Fire," Redman rolls out his own red carpet, strutting the whole way. "Rite Now" swipes and recalls the thumping throwback funk Redman first exploited well with 1994's Muddy Waters, and "Freestyle Freestyle" adds a heavy shuffle to that. Throughout, Redman and a bevy of guests saunter through backing tracks built around Marvin Gaye, Millie Jackson, Curtis Mayfield, Rick James, and Bob Marley (the viscerally stupid and strangely arresting "Blow Treez"). In one of the album's wilder moments, "Sumtn 4 Urrbody," rappers Blam, Runt Dog, Ready Roc, Icadon, and Saukrates drop in to party for a verse each: suddenly, the line "Hair on my chest look like taco meat" never sounded so good. Lines that doggone dirty have stapled seams through the beats of every Redman record since 1994's Dare Iz A Darkside, at least. But Seattle producer Vitaman D cooks up the album's wildest cut, namely the abysmally thick pulse gunning beneath the ironic silliness of "Pimp Nutz." To his continuing credit, Redman's got no problem bringing more talented collaborators into the studio and letting them loose. After all, he himself was long ago gone wild. --Jason Kirk
Customer Reviews
The Funk Docta!!!
Redman has not once dissapointed me with an album. keeps an old school vibe but also has a new vibe and as always his lyrics r jus awesome. this album has it all. funk, old school hip hop and some new soundin stuff. every song on here is worth listning too over n over jus becuz redman doesnt ever hold bak on his lyrics and delivers. this is honestly my fav now out of his 6 and thats sayin somethin cuz hes got great albums all around
Another good one from Redman - 4.5 stars
About time the Funk Doc returns with a studio album, after about 6 years since he has a full length studio album, Redman finally returns, and with a very good album. After being relatively quiet in the rap game over the early part of the 2000's with movies and his TV show flop, he finally got back in the studio, he did have a few mixtapes out in this time. With 20 songs on here, you get Red to the extreme like we've all been waiting for. Of the 20, you get guests on a little over half of the songs, but it's still a very good album.. It has 2 almost classic songs, 5 ok songs, and the other 13 are good. Production is nice as well. Erick Sermon, Rockwilder and Adam Deitch & Chris Pinset all do 3 songs, Da Masoct does 2, E3, Timbaland, Scott Storch, DJ Clark Kent, Watts, Vitamin D, Compton's Most Wanted's Tha Chill, and Omena ll do 1 song. A must have album and one of the better from 2007.

3-1/2 stars -- The doctor is in
The last time Redman made a proper album was back in 2001, the aptly titled Malpractice (afterwards, even Red himself said the album was bad). Then, mistakes like How High and Method & Red proved point blank that rappers acting doesn't work for everyone (although the How High SOUNDTRACK wasn't all that exciting either). Well, Red finally came back with Red Gone Wild: Thee Album, which is a step in the right direction.
You'd never know that Red is still on Def Jam because he spends a good deal of time giving props to underground label Gilla House (maybe he manages it or something). At any rate, he's definitely gotten his swagger back, as shown on joints like "Gilla House Check", "Bak Inda Buildin" and the necessary Scott Storch production, "Freestyle Freestyle". Snoop and Nate Dogg's help on "Merry Jane" adds some life to the party, and Erick Sermon and Keith Murray show up to bring back that Def Squad flava on "Walk In Gutta".
I'm not sure who Gov Mattic is, but he just rips it on "How U Like Dat", which has me wondering when he's going to drop an album. Actually, I don't know who a LOT of these guest stars are (a Def Jam album with too many guest stars? Imagine that!), but some of them aren't worth knowing, like on "Sumtn 4 Urrbody", where Blam kicks a dull chorus while Ready Roc says things like: "It's goin' down like I'm Yung Joc/But I'm not". And the obligatory honey-sings-the-chorus track "Whutchoogonnado" features Melanie Rutherford, who isn't exactly the greatest singer in the world.
This album is 75 minutes long, and I know just what to get rid of to save some time: the "Sooperman Luva" tracks, which haven't been interesting since Doc's Da Name 2000 (and the songs re-introduce Hurricane G, who's still wack). The "Mr. Ice Cream Man" skit is also pretty pointless; and "Rite Now" has a chorus that lazily rides an old Al Green sample. Speaking of questionable choruses, "Gimmie One" has: "One, and here comes the two to the three to the four/And here comes the three to the two to the one". Great lyrics, Red.
Another issue is that the radio skits that conclude much of the album's tracks make things get a little monotonous. Red Gone Wild: Thee Album isn't the classic comeback from Redman that everyone says it is, but it's still above-average, especially after a six-year hiatus. Hopefully Red continues his ascent back to the top and gives us that classic album (with fewer guest stars) next time.

Is Reggie losing his voice????????
Sounds like it to me. Maybe its just age, I'm guessing. This album is another disappointing 2007 Def Squad release. Both Red and Keith's album are missing those deep bass funked out tracks that Erick Sermon was hooking them up with ten years ago. Its a bad move for them to make albums that are not for their core audience. These 15 year old kids are not the ones buying their albums, us 30-40 year old's are. Cater to us!
