Redman- Rockafella [1994]

(C) 1994 Def Jam
Produced by Redman for Def Jam

[@Johns.Insight]

Random Fact: Redman stated that he was going through a very dark period in his life when he recorded this song, hence the dark undertone in this video..

[@rahsaanthomas7030]

In a Source Magazine interview, he mentioned Lenny Kravitz as an inspiration because "he did whatever the fk he wanted."

[@blockceda7193]

THAT IS WHOLE LIE. HE RECORDED THIS SONG BECAUSE A RAPPER AT THAT TIME TRIED TO TAKE RED STYLE. THE RAPPER EVEN RECORDED A SONG WHO EVERYONE THOUGHT WAS REDMAN. IF YOU LISTEN TO THE LYRICS YOU COULD HAVE KNOWN THAT INSTEAD OF SPREADING LIES. HE NEVER SAID HE RECORDED THIS SONG BECAUSE HE WAS IN A DARK PLACE. GET YA FACTA STRAIGHT

[@SoundMind.]

@@blockceda7193 Redman himself said in an interview he was on lot of drugs when during the recording of dare iz a darkside

[@plastikscene]

in the 90's it was taken for granted if Red was on a track he'd own it.

[@widgetmcblibber]

Artists barely get a paid from record sales anymore, especially an album this old. The record company gets most of the money. If you really want Redman to get paid, buy a ticket to one of his shows and buy some of his merch.

Erick Sermon

[@TIGGER90250]

Im a 41 year old ol' skool hip-hop fan. I remember buying this on tape before deploying to germany. Only to buy the album and 12" album two months later. That is when hip-hop was taking over the world. And what is so cool is this still bumps harder then most of the so-called hip-hop crap out there now. Hip-Hop Forever.

[@michaelvalleau3172]

I'm only 31 but all I listen to is the 90s and before hip hop joints! Salute

One of my favorite Redman tracks!Darkside album FTW!

[@hennylo68]

Damn red is so dope, he is a fucking rhyming machine.

I CANT FORGET NEW JERSEY!! REDMAN IS THE FUNKADELIC KING OF THE UNDERGROUND NEW JERSEY SOUND !!!

[@MiC-T]

Mega underrated Red album.

[@Pheonixboy1]

I have Dare Iz A Darkside. This is one of Redman's landmark albums. The songs are all funked out making this album completely dope by Redman and from Erick Sermon's beats.

[@thelin3s946]

All these years later & this track is freakin’ incredible. Better than anything out right now. Redman did it…. 🔥🔥🔥

[@Kwandike1279]

I was 16 when it came out and the album quickly became my favorite rap album. Still iz!

[@ReggieRedNobel]

word! a few people know that red did some production on his solo albums, such as Whut thee album, Dare iz a darkside, Muddy Waters etc.

[@iwillknifeya]

My God. I have just found myself a new favourite rapper. Amazing.

Exactly the same as you man. I'd give anything to grow up with this music, when all the legends were still alive.

[@SirSwiftusFunkellwerk]

Dude said DARE IZ A DARKSIDE is his least favorite album of his discography... Shit was BANGIN tho. My college study music.

[@elmodogi]

He said at that time there was too much acid and death around him, still a goat album

Redman did most of the production on Dare.

[@ffeda]

How did you get that? This was on Def Jam and it went gold. I remember when I got it....

[@galenhart]

I don't know if I would call this underground. I caught this video on Rap City on BET multiple times. I even had it on my VHS tape when I used to record videos.

[@354allday]

Galen Hart That was the difference between Rap City and Yo MTV Raps, Bet showed underground stuff MTV showed mainstream

[@brotha-man7]

Bought the red tape 2x and the cd 5x don't judge me I'm what you call a super fan!!!

[@atthespeedoflife2150]

Busta Rhymes definitely stole some style and adlibs the more I listen to it. All that raw raw and haha came from redman.

[@ricosalvaje5802]

Oh yeah Red threw a bunch of shots at Busta for taking his style. I know on Redman "pick it up" he threw some lines

[@YoungHoratio]

sheesh, back then we supported these artist, now there just a download away, the "man" knows what he's doin and we always for it, peace to hip hop!!!

[@abyss104]

Im not too sure about the Korean part. Redman is black. From the bricks of Newark NJ, and family comes from Alabama. I think this korean rumor came from that line he fliped on Blow your mind.

[@yubsnme]

ts so crazy thatwhen i hear all about the great mc,s not to many people giveing redman his ....dam manthis is my guy...play this shit 24/7 its like crack for me ,ya dig....

[@carlife_710]

When a artist says they don’t remember filming a movie or making a album is because they were possessed at the time and something else was making the moves

[@mikeg2336]

Redman came at craig mack hard in this joint they use to be boys red feels like he stole a little of his image listen closely

dis cd was very overlooked n underrated

[@jddiesel2385]

Nice Joe Sinister diss on this joint. Red gets busy on this one

[@howardg93]

this tape was phat in '94 and in 2012 it still sound better than 99% of the bullshit that's on the radio now, because when this tape was out is when you still had to be original not like now when it seems ok to bite off someone else (AUTOTUNE)

[@randolphz]

Redman (Reggie Noble)is listed as the producers of this track.

[@dernierehendrix7926]

The beat is nice too

[@TheAndre396]
