Redman
But that was two years ago, and a lot has happened in between. In 1993 Redman was voted by The Source as the top rap artist of the year. And Now Redman returns to reveal "DARE IS A DARK SIDE", his highly anticipated follow-up on Def Jam Recordings. The title for the new platter came easily as the mc has gone through a barrage of stress, trials and tribulations career wise, in addition to the everyday struggle of maintaining out in society. After a quick trip to the corner store for a couple of phillips, he broke it down to me, "My meaning of the dark side is deep and real. All that shit I was GOING thou, I was like "This don't make sense." So you know what? I may just let shit go on this album to the dark side. Everybody's got a dark side, but they don't let it come out by pretending and grinning up in your face, and when they get home, they're on a whole different note. It wasn't about no gimmick. It's strictly real. The shit is dark, but it's still funky." Ah yes, the funk. That word combined with Redman go together like rice and beans. "DARE IS A DARK SIDE" packs the same quality head-noddin' funk the Hip-Hop nation came to love about "WHUT...", but it also contains if possible a heavier bottom groove.
