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.

Million Chicken March
Redman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And for ya'll bitches who missed the million chicken head march
We got it on tape and that shit is hot
Too, too, too, too hot for TV
We had a lot of speakers out there
That touched on a lot of important chicken head issues
This is Liquidasha President of the Baby Mother Coalition
Can I get my unn flauk-a-laka sistas?
Our movement stands for three basic principles
First of all baby mothas should stay together
Even when we got babies by the same nigga
I'm saying, with checks need to get increased
To 40 cans of fuckin' imfamil a month
And fellow chickedees our most important issue is
Why should we turn in our baby father for child support
When we applying for welfare and foodstamps
Baby mothers we must stick together in order to survive
In a world of bougie hoes
Too, too, too, too hot for TV
And our second speaker also talked about this chickens
I'm Quantaniqua, the coach here of Reebok
Yesterday, today, and forever the 54 eleven chapter
Fuck tax, free week
I need tax fair on my mothafuckin' Reebok's all year round
Say unn flauk-a-laka-laka
Too, too, too, too hot for TV
This is Dave Rockin' Rio comin' to you from 'Fuck All Y'all' radio
The lyrics to Redman's song "Million Chicken March" are focused on a satirical interpretation of a hypothetical protest, the Million Chicken Head March, which features speakers who address various issues relevant to "baby mothers" and "chickadees." The song begins with a radio host announcing that the protest is being recorded and is "too hot for TV." The first speaker is Liquidasha, a representative of the Baby Mother Coalition, who speaks on the importance of solidarity among "baby mothers," their need for financial support, and their opposition to turning in their baby fathers for child support. The next speaker is Quantaniqua, a representative of Reebok, who demands tax fairness on her Reebok shoes. The satire is aimed toward the perceived frivolity of the issues at the march and the way in which they are addressed.
The song is filled with clever wordplay and satire. Redman is using the Million Chicken Head March as a metaphor for the perceived frivolity of protests that, while well-intentioned, might not be focused on the most pressing issues. The singers at the march are addressing seemingly minor issues, such as the need for tax fairness on Reebok shoes and increasing the amount of formula that "baby mothers" receive. The overall message seems to be that we should be focused on more significant social issues rather than nitpicking about things that ultimately do not matter in the grand scheme of things.
