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.

Blow Your Mind
Redman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Who don't be knowin' my name, I tear the frame out ya punks
I make ya slide, make ya slip, make ya wanna back flip
I get biz' with the skit, I DJ like Quik
The topnotch of the block, 'cause I carry a Glock
Holy hot rocks I'm hot, so give up the props
My style is hummin' comin' at'cha
Duck or get backed up
So come on light the Buddha, check your honey while I scoop her
The Superfly, Jimmy Fly Snuka rips the roof off
Then hook off on your crew, to the check of one to two
It's you, who?
(Ah yo) Redman with the Kung-Fu
Come on and get down and boogie oogie with the rough neck
Hit women like Madonna all the way down to Smurfette (yeah)
But first get your tables I roast your whole record label kids
Yo E (what's up G?) Bridge
And you blow my mind, baby
And you blow my mind, baby
(Press rewind if I haven't blown your mind)
And you blow my mind, baby
And you blow my mind, baby
(Press rewind if I haven't blown your mind)
I do the hustle like Russell, Rush the stage with Simmons
Deadly venom, makes me Poison like Michael Bivins
Or a cobra, pop more pop than Coca-Cola
Next to Yoda I'm a Star at War, plus roller coaster
I got my mind made up girl, come on and get it if you wit' it troop
Krush groovin' smooth as the lightning loops
The kind of loops I sample from a James Brown group
I give credit, 'cause I'm cautious, about lawsuits
Psychobetap-funk, got styles hard as tree trunks
For real punk, you got a blunt, light it 'cause I need one
And get down with the irrelevant funk to make ya jump
With the fly human being, watch me freak it in Korean
저리 가, 비켜라, 물러가라
누구냐? 나다, 나-나는 Redman
나보다 잘난 놈 하나도 없다
이 세상 제일인 나는 Redman, ma man
I rip shop in hip-hop I get props my lip rocks
The rap stuff's more spooky than movies from Hitchcock
Sit back relax let me rip to the funk track
And press rewind if I haven't blown your mind (re-wind)
And you blow my mind, baby
And you blow my mind, baby
(Press rewind if I haven't blown your mind)
And you blow my mind, baby
And you blow my mind, baby
(Press rewind if I-)
(Ahem) Let me get busy with the funky fly stuff
'Cause I cut your freakin' eyes, fuck Bruce Willis because I die rough
It's the Funkadelic Redman and I hit ya with the
Funkadelic level, the P-Funk, the devil
The spectacular, Blackula, bust holes like Dracula
Loaded of course, more Legend than Acura
I'm swift, I like big spliffs so I tisk tisk a tasket
Plus keep the Glock in my basket
I cough up a lung 'cause I freak it with the tongue
'Cause I can, "Wax on! Wax off" like Daniel-son
Do the yea yea, boogey say up jump the boogey
To the boogey to the boogey thanks to E 'cause he hooked me
So fuck what ya heard, word to herb, 'cause I mac-

In Redman's "Blow Your Mind," he begins by proclaiming himself as the "Funkadelic Funk for chumps." He boasts about his skill on the mic, and his impressive DJing abilities. He also mentions carrying a Glock and being "hot," insisting that people give him his due recognition. He then goes into a verse about dancing and getting down with the beat, and how his loops are sampled from James Brown's group. He further talks about his success and his fear of lawsuits. In the last few verses, Redman asserts his dominance in the rap game, comparing himself to Blackula and Dracula.
The chorus of the song repeats "And you blow my mind, baby" four times, followed by "Press rewind if I haven't blown your mind." This catchy chorus encourages listeners to rewind and replay the song if Redman hasn't yet impressed them.
Interestingly, the song's lyrics are not entirely in English. Redman inserts a Korean line into the song: "저리 가, 비켜라, 물러가라" which translates to "Go away, move, get out of here." This reflects Redman's desire for dominance, telling everyone to move aside because he is the best.
