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 ↴
I wants to get funked up
Make my funk the P funk, we thump
Lyrics that bounce the brain, make emcees jump
Sky high
Can't touch the level so why try?
Fall Guy compare me status to fly guy
That's why I'm on probation
Ever since three, I cut throats of emcees
Mediocre lyricist who burnt with degrees
Of two-ten
Not from an oven, but MAC-10
A MAC-20 maybe if I didn't subtract ten
My background straight from a black mans culture
Want more, buy the video or Redman sculpture
For your mantle, damn you
Too hard to handle
E-Double slam once, and Redman slam two
Break hooks, earthquake shook the state of NJ
Okay, bust the big gate
For microphones that have swollen mic cords
PE fights for power
Redman fights for soul power
Funk is strong as a tree trunk
Ask me the flavor
Make mines the P funk
Make my funk, the P-Funk
I wants to get funked up
Make my funk, the P-Funk
I wants to get funked up
Redman’s “Funk” is a song that expresses the artist’s love and admiration for funk music. The opening lyrics, “Make my funk, the P-Funk, I wants to get funked up,” suggests that he wants his funk to be of the highest quality, the kind that makes him feel good and groovy.
In the rest of the lyrics, Redman raps about his artistry and the struggles he experiences in the music industry. He believes that his lyrics “bounce the brain” and “make emcees jump sky high”, giving them a feeling that they cannot touch. Redman compares himself to a “fly guy”, whose status is unattainable. He states that he is “too hard to handle”, with a background straight from “a black man's culture”. He sees himself as a representative of the soul power of funk and takes pride in his association with the genre.
While Redman expresses his love for funk, he also uses the song to showcase his rapping skills. He acknowledges the need to fight for his position in the industry and raps about his status as a tough, rough and rugged artist. He is not afraid to take on any challenge even though he is “on probation”. He takes pride in his position as someone who is a master of the art, and he uses funk music as a medium to express his message.
