Whut? Thee Album is the debut album from New Jersey Hip Hop artist Redman. Redman had only rapped on record prior to this album on EPMD's Business As Usual and Business Never Personal. EPMD's Erick Sermon produced the majority of the album, but Redman also handled much production. This effort was a major success and established Redman as one of the premier hip hop artists of the 90's. It only reached #49 on the Billboard 200 in 1992, but was certified gold by the RIAA on June 11, 1993. It is commonly hailed for its upbeat, sample driven funky production and its humorous lyrics. In 1998, the album was selected as one of The Source Magazine's 100 Best Rap Albums.
