Redman - "Pick It Up" - Song of the Day - (10/8/14)

Reggie Noble aka Redman is truly the most hilarious of all hip hop lyricists. He represents the brick city - Newark, New Jersey - and he tells his side of the hard streets. Redman is a proud marijuana aficionado, he and Method Man have a film called How High which is probably the second best stoner film ever created after Half Baked. "Pick It Up" comes from the third Redman album Muddy Waters released back in December of 1996, a record that went gold in just three months! Despite being a goofball Redman is rather intelligent, his lyrical flow is one of the most impersonated in the game. His bars are timeless, almost a 20 year old album still has you "Humpin and a bumpin in yo jeeps." Back in the day Redman was all about Def Jam Records, and Def Squad, now his crew is Gilla House.

Method Man & Redman w/8Ball & MJG @ Cervantes Masterpiece Ballroom - 4/20/14 - (Review)

Review By: Kenny Emmer

It was a big weekend for Denver and the rest of CO, as hordes of tourists and artists alike flocked to the colorful state to partake in the now legal marijuana festivities. Countless shows took place all across the state in celebration including 2 performances by Wu Tang Clan's own Method Man joined by Def Jam alumni and musical partner in crime Redman. With local rap artist LilyFangz and 90s rap duo 8 Ball & MJG opening up the afternoon with throwback beats and clever lyricism. It sure felt like an old school underground hip-hop show, and there's no better venue to perpetuate this vibe than Cervantes Masterpiece Ballroom. As expected, the ballroom was filled with haze as people lit up in celebration of the holidaze. The sold out show was packed full of good vibes and good music. Method Man & Redman were ready in full force to put on both a terrific performance and a party for the attendees. Meth & Red performed classics such as "How High" "Da Rockwilder" and "Y.O.U" as well as many others. In addition Method made sure to drop certain Wu Tang classics from Raekwon's "Ice Cream" to "Method Man" and the late ODB's "Shimmy Shimmy Ya". The duo were supported by 2 unbelievably talented DJ's, who put on their own spin-off which had the crowd on their toes. It was an awesome experience to witness such an awesome show on such a memorable day.  Colorado was definitely the place to be for 4/20. And it was one I won't forget.
