Redman's solo career continued throughout the remainder of the decade, with each of his albums selling at least half a million copies. His musical style has remained very consistent, rarely deviating from a combination of Redman's unique braggadocious wit and hard, P-funk-influenced beats. In addition to releasing albums under his own name, he is part of the group Def Squad (along with Keith Murray and Erick Sermon) with whom he released the 1998 album El Nino, and also has formed a close partnership with labelmate Method Man (of the Wu-Tang Clan) with whom he released the 1999 album Blackout!. The long-awaited follow-up, Blackout! 2, apeared in 2009.
He has also collaborated extensively, both with hip-hop artists and with artists from other genres; the long list of artists and groups he has worked with includes Wyclef Jean, Snoop Dogg, Scarface, The Offspring, Christina Aguilera, Eminem, Gorillaz, D'Angelo, Me'shell Ndegeocello, 2Pac, Jodeci, Cypress Hill, De La Soul, KRS One and IAM.
In 2001 Redman co-starred with Method Man in the stoner comedy film How High, which featured the pair playing two marijuana-addled students attempting to survive at Harvard. Method Man and Redman also appear in the Def Jam Vendetta video game series, often as Tag Team partners, and briefly had their own television sitcom, Method & Red, on Fox during the 2004-2005 season.
Redman is also featured on the video game "True Crime: New York City", in which the central character interacts with an undercover street cop based upon the rap star, who also provides the voice for him.

Redman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's a bird
It's a plane!
Hee hee hee hee, no! It's Sooperman Lover, baby! Yeah
Daddy, Daddy! Would you please tell me a story?
Alright, get over here and sit yo' big ass down
Lemme tell you a story about the Sooperman Lover
Boogie'n to my Walkman with an "S" on my chest
(Bust a move!) Yes, I'm a superhero, don't forget
I smoke mad niggas so to hell with cigarettes
But anyway, let's get back to this skit
You know who the fuck I am, so git off that ol' bull-
Shucks! Lunchtime was up fuck!
Let me jet, or I'll collect unemployment bucks
On the way back, Jack, I spotted this object, a stray cat
Stuck in a tree, with a tag that says that:
"If found, please return to this address"
(How did you see it?) Nigga, with my X-ray eye set!
Like "Pchoww", I jetted to the closest phone-booth
Quick flash, I dipped into my Sooperlover suit
I can leap tall buildings, yeah
In a single bound
Boom! Right through the fuckin' phone booth ceiling
(It's a, it's a plane!) Nah, Sooperman Lover's the name
I can slam King Kong and pick up freight trains
On a mission, to save this cat that was wishin'
He was in his litter, watchin' Fritz on channel 6'n
Relaxin', feet cocked up, just a little
With a cod cocktail and a bowl of tender vittles
I snatched him, took off through the air like a pigeon
Quick so he won't start meowin' and bitchin'
Then landed at the cat's tag address in the projects
(Elevator's broken!) So I had to take the back steps
(Knock, Knock) The door opened then my eyes swole
From this badass honey sippin' a quart of Old Gold
"Yo, is this your cat?" "Awww, yes! Where'd you find him at?"
"He was stuck in a tree up by uptown Manhattan"
"Well, how the hell did you save him? Are you police undercover?"
"Naw baby the "S" on my chest stands for"
Sooperman Lover, yeah
Said they call me the Sooperman Lover, yeah
But something wrong
There's something wrong with me
There's something wrong, yeah, yes it is
She was grateful, lookin' for ways to repay me
No money, a donut, and some, uhm coffee maybe?
"Of course, what kind to show that I thank ya?"
"Make my donut jelly, and my coffee Sanka"
We sat, unhooked the cape from my back
She felt my arms 'cause my pythons looked stacked
"Goddamn, Sooperlover! Yo shit look thick
Tell me, how strong are you with muscles like this?
You bad motherfucker!" (I'm stronger than a locomotive)
Akhi hit ya like Rocky
She dashed to the room and came back with an ounce
Negligee, high-heeled shoes with a blunt in her mouth
Ready to roll up, hey hold up, she had the dollar fold up
To mix the coke with the smoke, yo, she was no joke
She took a sniff, some got on her top lip
That bitch stuck out her tongue and gave her top lip a lick
And said: "Here baby, hit it" "Naw baby, I ain't wit' it
You'd need more than a body to make me wanna sniff that shit!"
But I'll hit the blunt, so she took out her fronts
Cracked the Phillie, opened the bag, and laid out the skunk
Then I took a long pull, it was hype, oughta sight
She ran into the bedroom so I cracked my pants for head room
Later, tossed the cover and, oh brother, I was wit' it
Ready to hit it asked my dick (yo, wassup, G?)
Yo, man, shit's thick
Licked her on her belly then kissed her down her back
Stuck my hands between the legs and I felt the bozack
As big as mine, this bitch must be craze
So I threw my suit on and I was Swayze
'Cause I'm the
Sooperman Lover, yeah
Said they call me the Sooperman Lover, yeah
But something wrong
There's something wrong with me
There's something wrong, yeah, yes it is
The song "A Day Of Sooperman Lover" by Redman is a comical and explicit take on the superhero stereotype. The lyrics reveal an alter-ego of Redman, Sooperman Lover, who is presented as a charming and womanizing superhero. The song begins with the classic Superman references - "Look! Up in the sky! It's a bird...It's a plane!" but it is swiftly revealed that it is not Superman, but rather Sooperman Lover. The song then tells a story wherein Sooperman Lover saves a cat trapped in a tree, and is thanked by a woman who tries to seduce him.
The lyrics throughout the song are filled with humorous lines that express Sooperman Lover's sexual prowess and exaggerated strength. One such line is, "I can slam King Kong and pick up freight trains." The song takes a turn when Sooperman Lover meets a woman who is interested in him, and they indulge in drugs, sex, and drinks. The song is a light-hearted take on the superhero stereotype and how even the most powerful beings have flaws and weaknesses. The song ends with the chorus "Sooperman Lover, baby!" which repeats throughout the song.

Like "Pchooooww!"
Imitating the sound of using X-Ray vision
