Finishing up the last Def Squad sample set we had in the works, is Redman’s debut album… Whut? Thee Album. This album is classic and put Redman on the map as one of the top hip hop artists of the 90s. Produced mostly by Erick Sermon, Redman actually co-produced most of the tracks himself.
This set is huge, so we had to split it into two downloads… enjoy!

No way NO fucking way. The funk dr. spot’s masterpiece in full effect. Damn this even beats out the Erick Sermon joint yall dropped.
This joint takes me back to boarding school in Ireland ( one of my peoples over there was the one that put me on to this album cause at that time i only knew of Redman through EPMD’s headbanger and Time 4 sum aksion )
Evrything about this joint was incredible even down to the sequencing of the songs. Erick and Red did to funk what Rza did to soul. They twisted the samples to the point you damn near did’nt know what the were using and the made them shits dark and heavy. ( sorta like the way Rockerfella from dare iz a darkside used the same loop as dre’s g thang but made it way more aggressive )
Great post for real.
This took awhile to get together. Even though there are 44 samples used….I know there are at least 4-5 more. The interludes/skits sound like samples. I’m missing two vocal samples for “I’m a Bad”.
Just FYI when Kev and I work on the samples we both (for the most part) go back and listen to the album to pick up anything that isn’t listed out there in internet land. For example, we listed “Rampage” by EPMD as a sampled used in “Watch Yo Nuggets”. This sample wasn’t listed anywhere, but as I was listening to the CD I heard Erick Sermon’s line “homeboy watch yo nuggests” or something like that at the end of the song…so we included it.
Now we don’t always get all of the samples and may get some confused at times, but we put in work for yall.
BTW, if anyone can relisten to “Blow Your Mind” and “Blow Your Mind (Remix)” because they don’t use the same samples; but wasn’t all the way sure about what drums (sample) they used.
This is the man that puts all the work in! Thomas has an incredible ear for this stuff and works hard to put these sets together for you all.
Your blog is the truth. I have enjoyed it since I have come in contact with your pages. Keep up the work. I have a business venture coming up soon that you may be interested in…hit up my email. PEACE
buenos sampler felicito por el aporte de este gran y espectacular disco
gracias!!!
evsquad from chile
No problema amigo! Me alegro que te guste!
Do you all have Redman’s Muddy Waters original samples?
great work as always…
I fell over the ‘reggie’ break for “News Break” a couple of days ago, thought i might as well post it here. It’s by War “Searching for Youngblood and Rommel”, for the OST Youngblood.
On that same album “walking to war” might be a break for Red’s “Psycho ward”, but don’t quote me on that one…
