![]() ![]() No clue who Napalm is in the grand scheme of things, but yes, it's the same Rockwilder who would go on to produce "Da Rockwilder" on Red and Meth's joint album ( heh, I didn't mean that as a joke, but after re-reading that last sentence, it is kinda funny). Rock probably stuck with producing for a reason, but the song as a whole is pretty good. This was released as one of the singles, and I still believe it to be a weak choice. The song is meh at best, using the universal Redman standard, but when compared to Def Jam's output in 2007, I'd listen to this in an endless loop in a heartbeat. I never cared for this song in 1996 today I still don't find anything memorable. However, I had completely forgotten about the fake commercial informing the listener that the next song was provided by ridiculously-acronymed corporations like NASWIPP (N-z Against Smoking Weed In Public Places), and that made me chuckle. Red and E Double ride the low-key beat and spit some of the funniest stuff I'd heard in a while. (At least, Redman does Erick sounds okay as usual.) One of the great mysteries of Def Jam, though, is why Erick Sermon was completely left out of the accompanying video (although his verse was played), while Red starred alongside Method Man, who had nothing to do with this track. Another question to ask the mystics of hip hop is why the video for "Whateva Man" ended with a "To Be Continued." tag, when Red and Meth never followed up on their Blues Brothers-esque quest. And you gotta love Reggie dancing with an umbrella. ![]()
