One of the best albums from Reggie, might be my favorite one, tracks like "Creepin", "Iz He 4 Real", "Rollin", "Whateva Man", "Da Bump" are all straight muthafuckin classics.

At the time it was released I was REALLY disappointed with it.

I thought his previous album, 'Dare iz A Darkside', was astounding. The beats, rhymes and overall tone of the album completely redefined in my mind what an emcee could acheive. I still think it's an underrated masterpiece.

I went into 'Muddy Waters', then, with high expectations. But it just sounded too 'normal' to me. That's a weird word to use in describing a Redman record, I guess, but it seemed like a step backwards from the 'out there' vibes of 'Darkside'. That said, there were some tracks I loved immediately, like 'It's Like That' with K-Solo and the joint with meth produced by Pras from the Fugees (!).

Today, though, I like it a lot. Listening to it as a record in its own right and not as a follow-up to one of my favourite hip-hop albums ever, I can appreciate that it's still head and shoulders above many of the other releases at the time - and the records Red released after (I'd rather hear 'Muddy Waters' today than 'Doc's da Name' or 'Malpractice').

Props for bringing it up. But 'Dare is a Darkside' still shits over everything else Reggie has done :P

Red's first three are classics. He's Top 10 all time and if not that then somewhere between 11-15 and if he ain't on your list than FUCK YOU j/k. Most underrated. Influenced top tier rappers of today Eminem and Ludacris. Doc's Da Name was great. Malpractice was sub-par. Red Gone Wild was nice.

Mostly agree w/ Lord Funk.  His 1st three are classics to me, w/ Muddy Waters being my least fav but still a great album when you consider it by itself.  Whut! and Darkside are phenomenal.

Dope ass album. Redman definently has three classics under his belt and this would be the last one. Doc's Da Name is solid but not classic. Malpractice was meh and Red Gone Wild was pretty dope.

Meth is the better of the two IMHO but unlike Red, Meth only has ONE truely dope LP.

Meth and Red are both great rappers, but like Bundy said Meth only has one classic solo album released.

This album is the shit for me it's classic, I have heard it's debut album to but I think this one exceeds that especially production wise.
