Doc's da Name 2000 is the fourth studio album by American rapper Redman.^[11] It was a top seller, initially shipping platinum in sales and reaching platinum sales in less than two months. It peaked at #3 on The Billboard 200 and had three songs ("I'll Bee Dat", "Da Goodness", "Let Da Monkey Out") that charted in the Billboard top 100.

New Jersey rapper Tame One is credited for the song "Close Ya Doorz", but the former Artifacts member is not on the song. As Tame One explained in an interview, there was a different version of the song featuring additional verses by him and Rah Digga, but the song didn't make it on the album.^[12] The second verse of the song, which is usually attributed to Tame, is in fact sung by Double O. The voice of Nastee Nadj, the recurring Redman radio personality is back again doing the skits along with her sister Tanisha Green and friend Anitra Edmond. Nastee Nadj's real name is Nadja Green Parker.
