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 ↴
My palms, be swift with the pen like Lynn Swann's
Aggravated assault, against an MC
Beat him down with the mic and all types of pedigrees
It's mad real in Da Bricks, plus I roll thick
You can quote this, I'm the Moby Dick of dopeness
Bitch, walk the walk if you talk the talk
I DK New Jerz, and DK-New York
With a tape deck, if it's feasible
Tell the truth, I don't own a Lex Coupe
But I get you souped when I rock respect due
Ice a nice nigga that wanna get diced
Slice the mic device like the body of Christ, twice
E Double if you feel me hit me once
(A breaker one, a breaker two)
Cause trouble to your family and friends
Let me cut the bullshit, just hand me yo ends
Got caught out there cause you were Mack without 10
Punch you in your chin, the rucker, bringer, live from Hell
But stay cooler than a double L
Turn a felony to a misdemeanor
Now the court subpeonaed me to get my act cleaner
Fuck that, still walk out holdin my strap, blunt, grabbing my weiner
Rock da spot
Yo
Now first of all I go for broke, check the third quarter note
I make you feel like your water broke
Can't tell whether male or female
I fucked up your frame well, the monogram can't tell
All aboard my balls, cause my dick
Don't got a lot of room for the rest of y'all
Grab on my pubics, let my music take flight
Rock indo and out-do, dick run in and out yo
Bitch, about nine inch up the clit
Can you feel me comin, yeah I usually make em shit
I shines MC's up for auction
So I can sell em on Saturday, Keith put the bat away
Let's lay in the cut, so we can break his whole anatomy down
And turn into an ass-kicking holiday
Word, I rolls with the Funklord
With more flavors than them motherfuckers on them Benetton billboards
He's bleeding get the gauze
He shoulda knew Def Squad crew is who I kill for
Push the clip in, slide the top back
Make sure it's off safety, in case he wanna counteract
Shit like that get me vexed
So I crack your ass like corn while your bitch crack my Beck's
Rock da spot
Yo
Aiyyo, catch this picture, of me in the mixture
So you won't forget the black Jack the Ripper
Sorceror offin y'all with techniques
A universal lingo, with the odd speaks
Control more blacks than Harlem week, freak
Smokin that leak at full peak
Peace to Greg Street, and underground radio technique
College radio, know I mack shit like Maceo
Yeah, the East coast West coast dick giver
I oughta be an alkie, the way I hit liver
Deliver, the milk to your door
Real raw shit you never seen before
So when you come inside, and do the front
Watch the double-pump shotgun and please don't run
Relax your minds, let your conscience be free
And get money, and G's and roll these trees
Rock da spot
Yo
This is DJ SAYWHAT on this motherfucker
Coming to you live from WFDS radio from da Brick City

But stay cooler than a double L

Turn a felony to a misdemeanor
I have the ability to lessen someone's punishment or situation, even if it's a serious offense
Now the court subpoenaed me to get my act cleaner
Even though I've been charged with a crime, I have the opportunity to clean up my act and prove myself in court
Fuck that, still walk out holding my strap, blunt, grabbing my weiner
I don't care what others think of me, and will still be myself, even when walking out of court with a weapon, a spliff, and grabbing my crotch

I'm so good, I can perform while smoking weed and having sex at the same time
Bitch, about nine inch up the clit
I'm so dominant and confident, even women are aroused and impressed by me
Can you feel me comin, yeah I usually make em shit
I'm so intense and powerful, people feel it in their gut and it often scares them
I shines MC's up for auction
I can make mediocre rappers look amazing, and sell them to the highest bidder
So I can sell em on Saturday, Keith put the bat away
I'm so successful, I can even sell rappers on the weekend, and not worry about threats from rival groups
Let's lay in the cut, so we can break his whole anatomy down
Let's hide and wait so we can analyze and destroy our opponent's performance completely
And turn into an ass-kicking holiday
We'll enjoy humiliating our opponents so much, it'll feel like a fun and relaxing vacation
Word, I rolls with the Funklord
I'm always with the best producers and managers, the Funklord
With more flavors than them motherfuckers on them Benetton billboards
I have a wider variety of skills and personality than any generic models used by Benetton
He's bleeding get the gauze

He shoulda knew Def Squad crew is who I kill for
My loyalty is to Def Squad, and I will do anything to protect and impress them
Push the clip in, slide the top back
I'm loading my weapon, getting ready to attack
Make sure it's off safety, in case he wanna counteract

Shit like that get me vexed
I'm easily annoyed and angered by obstacles or inconveniences
So I crack your ass like corn while your bitch crack my Beck's
