''I'm an East Coast legend,'' Reggie Noble proclaims on his sixth solo album, Red Gone Wild: Thee Album. ''You should know about me!'' Once that would have been unquestionable; six long years after his last studio release, though, Redman might need to win his way onto listeners' radar all over again. Luckily, he's in fine form, spitting a string of mischievously witty quotables (''My watch ain't for showing time/It's for show 'n' tell'') over grimy old-school samples. Here's hoping this vet stays back in action, where he belongs. B+
