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.

The lyrics of "G.P.N." by Redman featuring Nadja Green Parker and Tanisha Green is a satirical take on psychic networks that target the poor or ghetto population. Alota Vagina is the host of the Ghetto Psychic Network, representing a pun on Miss Cleo, a real-life TV psychic who rose to fame in the late 90s. Alota travels around the hood with her team of psychics, knocking on doors of satisfied customers to ask for their testimonials. The first customer reveals that her psychic predicted that she would be with two men simultaneously, and the two men happen to be present during the encounter. The second customer shares that his psychic predicted he would have some time off from work, but he ends up killing his girlfriend and her lover, effectively gaining 25 years off from life.
The lyrics are full of profanity and vulgar humor, emphasizing the absurdity of psychic networks and their claims. Redman's addition to the end of the song is an advertisement for a company that "smokes a lot of weed," adding to the comedic and satirical tone of the song. Overall, "G.P.N." is a commentary on the exploitation of the poor and vulnerable through psychic networks and the ridiculousness of their claims.
