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 ↴
Live at the tunnel why'all
Big Kap and Funk Flex (look around)
Hit me back why'all, Def Squad why'all
Hold it down, look around
[Erick Sermon]
I rock house from old folks to childern
Lyrical murderer, who you be?
We never heard of ya
Momma's boy from West Suburbia
You don't belong 'round here so what you doing
Keep persuin my crew and get ruined, screw 'em
Redman (What up?) How you feelin
Lets wheel 'em and deal 'em until the pain is peelin
I wish a few of why'all would stop stealin
>From the mass appealin, dough stacked to the ceiling
Ohhh, imagine rap attack is coming
'Cause my sayin something, I rot like Charles Dutton
E-dub be the best thing runnin
When my jam comes on DJ's just start cuttin (cha-ka cha-ka)
Rubber duckin, Jigga Jigga strip
Every name brand clothin off them T.J. Hookers
Watch how live gets, like a jungle so pack your survival kits, huh
Me and Redman been rollin for years
In the place wildlifin' doing Britney Spears
[Chorus]
You want to ride...
Then get up get up get up get up get up get up (Okay)
Yo, you gettin drunk...
Then spit up spit up spit up spit up spit up spit up (Okay)
Yo, you gettin high...
Then smoke up smoke up smoke up smoke up smoke up smoke up (Okay)
Bitch, you want to fuck...
Then push up push up push up push up push up push up (Okay)
[Redman]
Yo E stick a fork in 'em while I hit 'em again
Spit in the wind, biz with a dent on the end, I was high
T-you-V-W-X ask Why, you die with blood pourin out your da-da
You want the ri-ri-ri-ride from hardthorn, abide by your crew from a 735-i
Keep your town quiet like Biggie died
When I roll through 'cause crooked like Sticky eye
Def Squad nigga, fuck a big name
Bury my main shit, stain, and shit change
Switch game, Bam Ba Claud, Bon voyage
Blast your entourage like Flex blastin off
Jump on while I saddle the track
Bitch I throw dick where your adam apple is at
Style like cooked crack
Wiggle my feet, I shook Shaq with a cross over pass and look back
Yo, Brick City gorilla when I stomp
Earthquakes, hurricanes will build up until dusk
Throw fishin line to a chicken a reel it up
My crew gun clappers, half of 'em pilled up
Hit the club then I ?cornbread?
I bounce so hard from a drug I brought over the counter
Uptown, say what say what now?
Bustin my gun off for the millennium touchdown
When it does, I'm out in the Bricks gettin drunk
Nuttin in the bitch mouth and her tits
Chours
[Redman]
Yo, you want to fuck, then push up push up
[Funkmaster Flex]
Alright, shot out to my boy Russell Simmons (Okay)
Big shot to Leo Cohens big shot to Kevin Niles (O-o-o-o-o-kay)
Big up my man Mike Cogesville
It's goin down baby one time
Fuck Flex, Big Kap
The tunnel nigga
Shots to my man Peter Gashin
Can't fuck with us
The song "Okay" by Redman and Erick Sermon is a classic hip hop track that was released in 2001. In the beginning of the song, they shout out their crew, Def Squad, and talk about their dominance in the game. Erick Sermon starts off with boasting about his ability to rock crowds from "old folks to children". He refers to himself as a "lyrical murderer" and questions the identity of unknown rappers trying to come on the scene. The second verse by Redman is a display of his creative wordplay and flow. He talks about getting high and drunk, while also making references to pop culture icons like Britney Spears and Biggie Smalls.
The chorus has become a popular catchphrase in hip hop culture with lines like "You want to ride...Then get up get up get up get up get up get up (Okay)" and "Bitch, you want to f*ck...Then push up push up push up push up push up push up (Okay)". These lines are delivered with a catchy cadence and have been sampled in many other songs.
Overall, "Okay" is a high energy, braggadocious track that showcases the skills of two legendary MCs in the rap game. It is a staple of 2000s hip hop and is still played in clubs and parties to this day.
