With production credits going mostly to Erick Sermon, the bass-intensive and melodic beats on Doc's da Name 2000 allow Redman to deliver the raw Newark, NJ, flow for which he's known and liked.

Laugh nervously as Redman hijacks an airplane in descent to JFK. Grin nostalgically as he updates tunes by Ice Cube, Beastie Boys and the Tom Tom Club. Smirk knowingly as some neighbourhood friends steal a satellite van for their dope deals...

Deep, throw-your-hands-in-the-air hip hop of unparalleled wit and intensity ... classic funk-driven hip hop.

For me, Doc's Da Name 2000 was the album that started the decline in quality of Redman's music. That's not to knock this piece of work at all, as this album is still a really good body of work, filled with dope verses and rhymes from Redman, and nice Erick Sermon production. However, I feel like this is where Redman let the comedy go too far - I mean, just look at that album cover. It's clear that Red was trying to make a funny, cartoonish project here, and while that idea ... read more
Not as good as anything he's put out up to this point, but then again... not everyone can be perfect. If you're being harsh, it's just a levelled down version of his 1st/3rd albums. If you're being optimistic, it's another great showing of Redman's quirky talents. Whichever way you look at it, though, it's a good album with some really nice highlights like Let Da Monkey Out, I'll Bee Dat! and Da Da DaHHH. Redman is dope (in more ways than one). Cover is ... read more
