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 ↴
[Intro: Redman (Hurricane G)]
ONE, TWO, THREE, YOO!! (YOO!!)
[Verse 1: Redman (Hurricane G)]
Kick in the door, then I yell, "DON'T MOVE!"
C.O.'s is like, "yo, who the fuck is this dude?"
Took the shotgun from him, then I shot that fucker
Threw it to Hurricane, she like ("Yea, let's do it!")
Snatched up a reporter that was here to interview her
Raised up one of his hands, put a bullet through it
Took off his Franck Muller, so Daily News know the time it took to rescue her
We goin' out the front door
Hurricane shotgun, hand lettin' the pump off
Bitches see it, and started wylin' in the mess hall
("Fuck the Warden! We gon' get you muhfucka!")
Ayyo, told you I was comin'
[Verse 2: Hurricane G (Redman)]
Nigga, I ain't never scared
I ain't givin' no state time for shit I didn't did (WOOO!)
Give me some more ammo, the front door's near
We two barrels smoke (with a hostage in here)
[Verse 3: Redman (Hurricane G)]
Yo G, you lock and LOAD? (Lock and load!)
Plan came together like the Eleven and Bellagio
We out the front door, Warden, shotty blow
I mash the gas 'til me and G is "adiós!" ("Adiós!")
That's how that Soopamanluva get down
(Yea, that's how that bitch Hurricane get down) Get down
[Outro: Melanie Rutherford] + (Redman)
Ohhh, oh oh oh oh ohhh (Gilla House niggas)
Ohh ohhh, (Yo Hurricane G! Glad to have you back girl!)
Ohhh (yea yea yea yea yea yea)
Ohh, ohhh (Gilla Gilla Gilla Gilla)

(You already know what it is nigga)

The lyrics of Redman's Soopaman Luva 6 1/2 mainly describe a prison break scenario where Redman and his accomplice, Hurricane G, break into a jail, take a reporter hostage, and escape through the front door with the help of their guns. The first verse depicts Redman breaking into the jail and confronting the COs while revealing his identity as Soopamanluva. The verse also tells that Redman took a shotgun and even shot one of the COs with it. In the second verse, Hurricane G assures Redman that she is not afraid and needs more ammo as they approach the front door. In the last verse, Redman confirms that the plan went smoothly, and they successfully escaped the jail.
