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 SPEAKS
In Redman's song Oh My, he talks about his confidence and swagger when he rides around in his flashy Cadillac. The chorus repeats the phrase "Make her say oh my every time I ride by, she likes the way the jet black Cadillac shine." Redman is specifically talking about impressing women with his ride and making them feel in awe of him every time he passes by. He mentions that he used to have a certain type of style when he was younger, but now he's grown up and become more sophisticated. He talks about his past success with women, such as bending dimes (meaning he had successful sexual encounters with attractive women), and now he's moved on to bigger things like trying to smoke with Obama at the Pentagon.
Throughout the rest of the song, Redman continues to brag about his life and how he made it out of his old neighborhood. He talks about the struggles growing up in Newark, NJ, and how he promised to his old hood that he would make it big. He also mentions that he doesn't eat beef and alludes to others who may have had differing opinions about him in the past, saying "I know y'all n***** smell p****, but it ain't me." Essentially, Redman is making a statement about his success in life and how he's able to have anything he wants, including women and a flashy Cadillac.
