When this dropped, especially on the heels of How I Could Just Kill A Man and hearing this beat/flow with the B Real chorus, it literally would "blow your mind".
It still blows my mind that Redman didn't even want to be a rapper, he was just a DJ, and Erick Sermon asked him to rap one day and the rest is history. Talk about naturally gifted. This whole album is a classic.
Random: this DJ named "Fatman Scoop" just passed away a few days ago (August 30, passed out while performing and never woke up). He was a hype man on a lot of hits for artists back in the day like Missy Elliott, Timbaland, Mariah Carey, and he had his own hit called "Be Faithful" which is still played in clubs today to hype the crowd. Anyway, a couple of songs he was on that you may like: Miss Elliott's "Lose Control," and Timbaland's "Drop," both very hype songs
@@ABoomerReactsI can't speak to the legality of using just a voice vs audio and vocals but I do know that Redman and b real have been good friends for decades. The "marijuana smoker" faces of hip hop on the east and west coast respectively.
Certified classic. Redman is pretty underrated in my opinion. Love Eric Sermons production too. Love those P funk samples. Like the hook which sampled Cypress Hill's how i could just kill a man.
B-Real’s line was essentially acapella, so it didn’t have background noise that would be problematic for sampling. Back then people didn’t always pay for vocal samples, but the high usage in this song makes me think that maybe they had to clear it. Redman’s debut album is one of the first records I listened to as a kid that had me considering if it was a classic. I loved almost every song on it, and it was sequenced to be a continuous listen. Blow Your Mind and its remix, plus Soopaman Luva are my recommendations from this album.
I like both a lot, but I’m always partial to original tracks. The remix is a different p-funk sample with some humorous change in the lyrics. The remix is also used as a reprise to end the album.
Around 92ish was the last year where sampling wasn't really strict with the laws. Then politics got involved and they started cracking down on any rapper that would sample and the labels enforced to be compensated for it since most of them owned the rights
@ABoomerReacts It was at a venue called the Phoenix in Toronto that had maybe about 3000 people. Much better than bigger venues. Method Man and Redman played a bunch of major hits and were really appreciative of the crowd and Canada. One for the memory books for me. It was very safe with a bunch of 40 year olds lol.

@@ABoomerReacts All "Funk Doctor Spock" (one of Red's many alter egos) songs are pot songs! One of his characters, Uncle Quigley, even calls out the damn Whippersnappers in Green Island. Enjoy
@@ABoomerReacts Ha. Yes. Green Island is on the album Dare Iz A Darkside by Rodman. Funk Doctor Spock is one of Redman's many alter-egos/characters, along with Uncle Quigley, who makes an appearance on Green Island, which I thought you'd appreciate since he admonishes "whipersnappers" at one point. Redman's a funny and funky dude.

One of mine favorite Redman Tracks
In my opinion, Redman is one the best rappers ever. I'll take him over all the top selling rappers. He's still making stuff that sounds good.
One of the hypest Redman songs ever.
redman kicked in the door with his debut album!

Thanks, Harry! I'll add those to my list. Funny that you mention Missy because Gossip Folks is the next reaction.
Really? Rest in Peace Mr Freeman. Damn.. He was definitely a staple in my hip hop upbringing.
"Let's Git Doe" is also a good one he did with The Beatnuts.
Thanks, Auntoneyo! I'll add it to my list.
Great reaction Brian! Redman is a beast
He was saying that the beat dropped completely when he said "Time for some action" so there was no other sound to muddy the sample.
Did Redman have to pay for the vocal?

@@jayouayen It wasn't originally requested as the remix, so I'll leave it that way.

Thanks for answering my question
Saw him and Method Man in concert this summer. I was so glad he performed this song. Reggie Noble is so underrated.
Did you have to be careful in the audience during it?

The first ten seasons of the Simpsons appealed to kids and adults.
I'll take your word for it, Kai. 😉
React to Jedi Mind Trick - Coming of Tan
Thanks! I'll add it to my list.
I think you'd get a big kick out of the track Green Island.
Thanks, Tom! I'll add it to my list. Sounds like a pot song to me.🤔🤔

Watch episode 8 from season 7 of The Simpsons.
What will I see?
