Malpractice
Malpractice, the fifth installment of the Funk Doc saga,  builds upon Redman's earlier madness and takes it a step further. He  sums it up in "Lick a Shot": "I'm a MC/ I don't think/ Like you rap  superstars'll think." Meaning: yeah, he's got a formula, but it's  uniquely his own. Whether you'll dig it this time around is the  question, and the answer comes down to personal taste. Do you like  lyrically intricate songs? Do you like smoking hot beats (compliments  of the Green Eyed Bandit himself,Erick Sermon)? Are  you into extreme misogyny and violence? How's your tolerance for songs  about trying to get into nightclubs? All of this can be found inMalpractice. The album is creative, often clever, and filled  with violent, nightmarish imagery. Even the insert artwork is  unsettling. This won't be an issue to diehard Redman fans who've  eagerly awaited this long-delayed release. When all is said and done,  this album is worth listening to, if only to catch up with Reggie  Noble's funniest alter ego, Soopaman Lova--this time he's searching for  his MIA mojo.--Rebecca Levine
