Awesome
Can we please get the Blackstar DrinkChamps interview? I'm not rushing you, or making demands, and I know we'll get what we get when we get it, but I just want you to know some of us are hungry for it 🙏🏾
Yo Dude His Dudeness I hope you asked Reggie where the title Redman come from
aqua
le robot et limites l homme nine avancees
You can tell this is a good interview, Talib just sits there and listens intently. Redman is a hip hop legend, no debate.
🥰🥰
#Facts!!
ZERO DEBATE
Is!
@Tony Darkz - I'll get no argument from me.
Redman's in my top 5 MC's for sure.
His MTV Cribs episode was the best one.
One of the top 10 Greatest Rappers of All Time. Redman legend!!!!!
Top 3👌
Redman is for sure one of the best people in Hip Hop. Top 5 all time artist for me and a great, humble person with it aswell
Definitely Top 5
Absolutely
Muddy Waters, one of the best rap album ever
@@telz4521 docs da name 2000, bro!
@@telz4521 His run from 92-02 is unmatched. The only other emcee I can think of is HOV!
As a 8 year old when “hardcore” on the EPMD came and dude said “ I got it going on” I was hooked. He paved the way for lyricists like kurupt, 3000, meth, em, and others to constantly be in your face with bars!!
susanna anna witherington son mom love happy like mom happy 23 son mom like baby son love mom 23 day happy God mom baby 8 like love God mom 8 son bab love son bab son
Since im up next to flex.
Redman is my all time favorite Hip Hop artist. Period. If you've never had the opportunity to see Red in action you're playing yourself for real.
Younger folk need to take notes on how to make a hit record that will be timeless.
Absolutely agree. If you love hip hop and you've never seen Reggie live, you are actively choosing to live a worse life.
I got to open for him years ago. Great show!
You should go to a alkoholiks performance. It's the liks baby, it's the liks!!! 😁😎
@@UFOsAreRealArea51 I do need to see those cats live as well!
I still have a copy of that freestyle tape with him and Biz! That shit was a movie back then!! I know the rhymes on that shit by heart still and I'm 51 right now.
That s*** must have rocked to catch it on cassette
Now monday can start properly. Thank you Talib you the man!
For real, i agree
Indeed.
On god in heaven!
No lie detected
I've been a Redman fans for decades now. I juste ant to say I'm inspired by his realness and humility. Some of the younger hip hops stars can learn a lot from this brother. Thank you Kweli! Keep up the good work. By the way, I agree Erick Sermon would be 👌 Stay blessed my bro!
Redman doing big chess moves talking dangerous with the cannabis industry, truly revolutionary and very honourable for him to work behind the scenes with what matters instead of selling his face commercially
unbelievable interview, Redman is an American treasure and they treated him right...
Possibly the best Redman interview I’ve seen!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
This entire interview series is such a breath of fresh air. From the selection of the guests to the way Talib conducts the interviews and does his research, the interaction with Jasmin, to the way it's filmed and edited. Just wanted to throw that out here. Thank you thank you thank you!
How can you not respect Redman. Love this guy. Thanks for all the dope music man!!!!
And he still 100% has his shit together, and I'm just speaking about humans in general. Life is really hard and I can't say it gets easier when you start to age
"I want people to know my faults as well as my greatness" - Redman
Thanks Redman, for all the greatness. I appreciate those comments about the military brothers. The vets should have access to whatever they need, appreciate your father's service.🙏🏾
Redman is top 5 with 4 classic album underneath him. Dart thrower
Funk Doc is in my top 10. True definition of an MC. Whut Thee album changed the game.
Great introspective interview! Redman is my all time favorite. Been Rocking with him since 92. Much appreciated, salute to the channel
I too, was taught by RedMan to roll my 1st blunt, taking a break from cleaning Palisades Park, in Santa Monica. I bought a Phillies Blunt Cigar, split it and the rest is history. Blunt was fat as my middle finger... LOL
I have watched many Redman interviews in my lifetime. This one has to be in the top 3 of all time. Thank you Talib and company. You are awesome for providing excellent content. Thank you
Thank you for watching
I feel like they’re putting together an archive of timeless content with these legends. We’re lucky to have them
@@alexherrera9777 social media actually being put to good use. 👏🏾
Redman has a positive amazing energy.
Kweli is the man, always brings these great conversations with these brothers and sisters
Yes! thanks for the love!
The first time I heard of him was on Hardcore when his part came my brothers and I lost our shit! We damn near broke the tape (yup a cassette tape) rewinding his part. I saw him live in VA at a club called Ivory’s he torn that place apart. To this day if I watch How High I watch the GET EM! part a 100 times and I still die laughin! The illest MC out there hands down.
A legend the one and only REDMAN been a fan since the beginning you have some real good people on your show Love Peace and Rolling Papers from North Carolina
Need another blackout album. Produced by rocwilder ,Erick sermon and havoc!! And a few cuts from premiere
Yo Redman is such a legend man nothing but straight gems this whole interview so much knowledge
I remember hearing "you gots to chill" for the first time ... Epic moment. Just like when I heard "tonight's da night" that 1st time.
Hell yeah bro me too. I wish I was alive, and was a teenager when that shit dropped. That must've been a hell of a time, I'm so jealous of people born in like...80 or so; to be the perfect age when all that shit came out. If I had access to a time machine that's when I'd go back to, fo sho.
Redman's final verse on How High (The version on The Show soundtrack) is a strong contender for greatest rap verse of all time.
Absolutely bodied that version. Definitely my favorite version of that song. I had The Show soundtrack back in the day
@@jasonwilcox9328 Yep. Bought it on cassette tape back in the day lol. Great soundtrack. Pretty good movie too.
Indeed.
Big facts
Look up inya, got the verbs, nouns and glocks inya. Enta the center. Lyrics bang like Richa-che rabbit,......
Redman does great interviews... so does the people's party!! Salute
The fact Redman my fav MC of all time is being interviewed by Kweli my other fav MC of all time is just a dream to me. Hip Hop won today!
AWESOME!!
I have been waiting for this interview since I started following this podcast! It’s everything I could have wanted as a fan and more. Redman is a super inspirational person and one of my top five. Definitely cool to get to more about him as a person and an artist.
The beauty of two cold-azz MCs that could work together & separate & NOT BE JEALOUS OR UNBALANCED!! And still have a great show air-time!! Salute to the crew!!
th-cam.com/video/Z6uKHWHq7GE/w-d-xo.html
Red's been a vibe since the 90s, one of the reasons why he's been my favorite of all time aside from his lyrical prowess. Fdddactz.
Redman is an inspiration! Talib keeps it true Hip Hop all the time!! -TX
This convo taking me back to 10-12 years old. 90-92 walking hearing people play hip-hop out they cars. The energy was amazing
What a beautiful interview
Thank you to all that were involved! 🧡🙏🏻
Muddy Waters 2 going sound like a classic to his first Muddy Waters album.Love giving "Jane" a replay.
Who else paused the interview and played the tracks referenced. Much respect to Redman, love this dude. Rocking that muddy waters the rest of the day.
Shit yeah. I do that all the time, almost every People's Party episode I'm constantly pausing it to bump whatever track they're talking about. As I type this, I literally just came back to watching the episode from listening to Rock Co Kane lol.
Redman the legend 🤲🏾
Redman on FUNKORAMA, was the Epitome of HIPHOP CLASSIC, very slept on, dat shit is a 💎
Reggie Noble.. damn this was dope! Funk Doc has always been my favorite emcee, even more so now
Jersey stand up!
Doc’s da name 2000 is my favorite album
Don't get me started....
The best Redman story i ever heard was a guy who caught up with him after a show while he was in a limo about to leave. He hands him a dollar bill to sign, and Redman takes the dollar, rolls up the window while yelling, go go go!
🤣 he would do that. Did he give it back?
Muddy waters top 5 no debates sonically a masterpiece 💎
Coulnt wait to watch the episode in full, funk doctor Spock a real one 🇯🇲✊🏾💯
I just listened to the D.O.C.interview now this one. Both Redman and the D.O.C. give awesome interviews (I've watched some other interviews they've done on various shows over the years and they're always two of the most interesting people).They're both completely different, just similar in that they have such original/interesting perspectives and have a lot of wisdom.
For real one of the sickest interviews I’ve listened too… big up, nuff love
Peace.... Redman doesn't do a lot of interviews, we don't hear from him,... He got plenty of gud stories.... Great Interview, Cultural Icon Legend ✊🏿🙏🏿
Man, I love these 2 legends so much. God bless 'em.
I love hearing Redman talking about big moves outside the political duopoly
I might be showing my age but when "Tonight's Da Night" showed up on Yo! Mtv Raps, that was special
This is a good episode. Red is dope. Talib is dope. Good to see/hear both of them break down this hip hop history and family and weed.
Incredible interview 🔥
Easily one of the best lyricist, one of the best MCs, one of the best contributors to the culture and a huge contributor of positivity to the whole world. Salute Redman. Love, respect and all the gratitude to you.
Shout out to Redman, Talib, Jasmin and everyone at UPROXX this podcast is HIPHOP elements all over peace and much love and respect. All the way from Manchester U.K 👊🏻
I remember Redman concert in MuseumPlein Amsterdam maybe 20 years ago, it was like a stand up comedy show, he was absolutely hilarious interacting with audience. Bizarrely, I ended up standing beside Francesco Totti the Roma/Italian footballer!
I also remember Rock The Bells gig at Ajax Arena,De La Soul doing Rock Co.Kane Flow and the crowd going insane when MF DOOM walked out!
Great interview!
That was one of the best episodes. Redman is very insightful.
So happy to hear a new episode of The People's Party. The opening tune is still absolute fire and another brilliant guest and atmosphere.
What a breath of fresh air. Redman has the best energy. His honesty and the way he doesn't try and be anything else is a leaf we should all take out of his book.
Don't know about Talib constantly throwing shade and second guessing his co host though... doesn't make him come across well really.
He sounds like such a straight edge talking next to redman hahaha
"This is for all of my smokers" 🔥🔥🔥
oh YAY! .... DAMN, JASMIN womp womP! Comin in hot! This is gonna be a classic for sure.
Love you reggie...thanks for this interview ❤❤❤
Much appreciated for the show!!!
Q: How can one start a NCP in their own state? Any info on how to help. Personal testimony, my mother died from cancer in 2011. My belief is that her life was made shorter due to Chemotherapy. There are documentation of marijuana treating cancerous cells. There's so much more NEEDED studies to be done!
Thank you for all of your work!
That Biz & Red joint is definitely on here 1990 joint
Headbanger is one of the best posse cuts and one of the best redman verses of all time. Crazy didn’t know abt the drama behind that
Appreciate you guys thanks for this interview 🏆🙏⭐️
Red talking about Rock Co.Kane Flow, man I felt that when they perform in Johannesburg
YOOO!!! He just dropped the dopest "what's Happening" reference!!!
Basically is probably my favorite interlude
Best Redman interview ever 💯
Red is one of the most funniest people and tightest lyricists ever. Since day one he kept it 💯. Red you’re awesome!!!
Keep up the good work
God bless Reggie, I can listen to this man all day.. salute to this podcast
I believe this is top 3 hip-hop interviews of all time.
Fantastic time spent with the multi-layered, while still on-brand, Redman. Been a fan. Even more now. Had to take breaks here and listen to his music. So many joints!!!
Redman is my favorite artist of ALL TIME I started rocking the tissue cus of doc. I was snotty nose nappy head as kid. He inspired me to be me regardless
Redman is the shit. We go way back. Love you Reggie.
Fantastic Interview with one of my all time fav MCs Funk Doc...Redman! FKN GOAT!🔥🔥🔥👑👑
My favorite interview
Superman Lover is hands down one of the three greatest MC's of all time, no debate whatsoever !!!!!!!!!!!!
"It's like that my big brother" is my joint
Reggie Noble Always killin it
It cracks me up every time Redman talks about Dare Iz a Darkside. It is unfortunate that he was in such straits that drugs were his recourse at the time but it is the CULT classic for him. Muddy Waters was amazing, but Dare set precedent for a lot of his sound that got in motion there.
That album actually crashed my whole paradigm as a listener back then. Before that I was all Heavy D and Hammer guy, with regular flows and positive messages, and here was Red, switching and shifting flows in no order, crushing all the rules, basically bullying the old school jazzy atmosphere. I never got back to pop rap after that.
@@AndreiBerezin Noorotic, Basically, Can't Wait, Bobyahed2dis, Journey Throo the Darkside, Soopaman Luva II... it's insane right?
Red was my biggest inspiration as an emcee because he has that unique combo of raw, funky, intelligent, and comedic shit going on haha, mad respect. My Whut? thee Album cassette tape got worn out from rocking that ish all day!
Definitely underrated
WELL DONE LEGENDS!!!!!!!!!
Jasmine’s transitions into asking folks about they drug selling past are unmatched. LMAO!
Red is a Legend 🤜🏾🤜🏾🤜🏾🤜🏾
Dope interview. Really enjoy the interviews on People's Party. Keep up the great work. Please do an interview with Wise Intelligent, would def like to see that. Peace
I throughly enjoyed this interview and Reggy is long money oriented and I love it, your mother and father must be proud.
Jersey roches... noooooo... Actually, water bugs too... like they was roches but with a diving license or sumthing, they be in the the flooded basement... Love Redman through my whole life... Jersey is a great place to be... Salem, NJ...
Big ups!! Redman!! Always real and in effect!!
I’m disappointed Talib didn’t end with “Yo Red, you ain’t gotta say no more man, it’s over”
Hahahahaha
Finally Red!!! Top 3 mc in the building 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Peace 2 all the true heads that keep our culture alive.
Brilliant interview that's why I love Reggie, seen the both of these guys live
The Whut? Thee Album
was the 2nd CD I bought in my life - The first was mama said knock you out. Family could not afford a CD player. Shout out Redman love him!
President Redman :P Shoutouts from Canada
Such a legend and a man of the people at the same time! Go Reggie!
