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 ↴
Chka-UHH, chka-yeah
Ladies and gentlemen
Saukrates!
[Chorus: x2]
Have you ever been so proud in your life
You livin on your own cloud in the sky
Forget one, lemme get two
Yeah! Yo, hey
I love travelin' and seein' people
Showin' the ignorant my color skin is equal
I like tryin' different Thai food and seafood
Makin' my episode of life another sequel
I like flyin' on Delta and Continental
First class, playin' them elevator instrumentals
I'm in the window, got on my headphones
Listenin' to Big Pun and Wyclef Jean
It's like Exxon, I get gassed up
I shuffle 'round the board like Cassius
That's us when the plane land, hey man
It ain't hard cause I can do it like a caveman
Fix my Ray-Bans, I hit the hotel
Do my show, get my money, hit the hotel
Sittin' at the hotel like "Oh well!"
I call shorty that I met today at Modell's
Go girl, it's like we in The Matrix
I'm in a new city, with suitcases
I'm overseas with bills with new faces
And if you're not about that you need a facelift
Yup!
[Chorus]
Lemme get two, lemme get two [Repeat x3]
Lemme get two, bartender lemme get two
Yo
If it's a high life you seekin' then you say it
Cause how the hell you gonna win the game if you ain't playin'?
I'm in Monaco, swimmin' in the deep end with 3 dimes, this ain't dominos
Well maybe it was, I set 'em up to knock 'em down and go
The skeletons in the closet, I'm makin a new deposit
She was never so erotic 'til we got to the ex-o-tic-tic, now I'm thinkin'
that this time bomb is about to explode
Got me wishin' that it was different than money, contradiction is funny
I just told y'all to play the game if y'all wan' eat
The truth is it's what you make it
That's why I got my baby girl naked
Long before I bought them tickets to Turks and Caicos
We love each other, beyond under covers
That's why I'm feelin' so high like them Wright brothers
Fly, I hope it never take material
for you to get yo' Apple Jacks cereal, here we go
[Chorus]
Lemme get two, lemme get two [Repeat x3]
Lemme get two, bartender lemme get two
I'm on vacation BEITCH!
And I'm flyin' high
