The Screamin' Jay Hawkins of hip hop."Vibe (2/97, p.106) - "...MUDDY WATERS slides in and finds Redman crashing back to Earth--equally intense, funny....The best moments on MUDDY WATERS come on the songs Redman produced himself....boundless energy and raging fire."The Source (2/97, p.79) - 4 Mics - Slammin' - "Def Squad lion Redman has no problem blazing up the path between mainstream and the underground....The sonic approach creates a dance-floor friendly vibe which seems perfectly appropriate for the Funk Dr. Spock's return to dry land..."Rap Pages (2/97, p.59) - "...expect to excavate the usual Funkadelic relic remains, namely hard hittin' funk tracks frequently anchored by hooks utilizing snippets of other Hip-Hop tunes....MUDDY WATERS greatest strength is in its flow..."64.73411
