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 ↴
"You see the redness in my eyeballs..
Homie ain't no question that I ball.
I'm fresh as pine sol. what your smellin' is trees...
I clear my head like Magellan, while he sailin' the seven..
Seas, til Armageddon just waitin' til I'm a legend..
Please I am a legend a veteran and my professional guess
Ain't nothing like a first impression, skies the limit,
And sometimes I'm so high.. I need a flight attendant."
The opening line of Redman's "Lite 1 Witcha Boi" is about lighting up his weed, or "medication". The writer wants to convey that he is ready to get high and is prepared with his stash. He goes on to say that his red eyes are a clear indication that he smokes, but it doesn't affect his ability to ball, or perform well. In fact, he is as fresh as pine sol, which is a play on being clean and the scent of trees, or weed.
In the following lines, Redman talks about the benefits of smoking, including clearing his head like Magellan sailing the seven seas. He is waiting for the day he becomes a legend and his skills and talent are recognized. He is already a veteran, and in this session, he predicts that the herbal essence, or the scent of weed, will be prevalent. He believes that his first impression will be lasting and that the sky's the limit for his potential. However, he acknowledges that sometimes he gets so high that he needs a flight attendant, which is a playful reference to how high he can get before needing help.
Overall, Redman's "Lite 1 Witcha Boi" is a tribute to weed culture and the benefits that smoking can bring. He highlights how it can help clear his mind and improve his performance, as well as his belief in the positive future that awaits him.
