Different styles but both have very lengthy catalogs. Who do you prefer?

Pos

Redman without a second's hesitation

a singular solo artist vs a guy who's mostly notable in a group context

Redman.

A Pos solo album mightve been interesting at one point though. He's underrated as a rapper imo.

Pos got bars but redman all day

redman

Pos

Pos is very, very dope, but Red's catalog crushes

Pos w/o so much as a solo mixtape
Close tho and hard to compare

seems unfair to compare them. voted redman but pos is criminally underrated

ive always felt that redmans talent far exceeded his listenability...his flow breath control and rhyme writing are crazy good but at the same time by the end of his second record he started to sound the same on everything...if a song of his comes on a mix im playing its amazing every time but i rarely ever find myself pulling out one of his albums to listen to

i wont even say pos is better because they are so different but a million times out of a million id rather listen to him

exactly

I was a freshman in high school when Redman's first album came out, and I must have listened to that tape a thousand times. Same deal with the second album. By the time I was getting ready to enter college, I had deemed his entire catalog to be unlistenable. It is what it is, I offer no apologies.

I'll tell you who I have an unhealthy love for: Keith Murray. His 92-95 catalog is ridiculous. Just the way he pronounced words. Fuckin' love that guy.

Redman was an awesome hype man on one of Keith's freestyles, very Lord Digga-esque.

I agree as well, although Muddy Waters was mad good and I didn't think it was similar sounding as individual tracks or especially compared to the first 2 albums.

I do think that Pos is extremely underrated and has penned some of my favorite verses. I'm a De La fanatic.

I'm voting Redman just because I was mad hyped for him from the first EPMD apperance all the way through the first album's release and the Hit Squad in general. I don't listen to him much these days although I threw Creepin on at the barbershop last week and was blasting that shit.

I listened to a De La album at least once a month since 1989.

you make some of the weirdest polls

Has Pos ever fell off? Redman hasn't made an enjoyable album in 2 decades it seems.

Redman never fell off as a rapper, hasn't had a good solo release in ages but was on Blackout 2 in 2009 which was pretty solid.

Pos never fell off as a rapper but the last good De La album was in 2004

Damn that song and especially the video aged horribly, so corny.
