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.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I got a soda it's only enough for one hon
I got a soda y'all can't have a god damn sip
I got a soda I know you want it
I...
Ah-yo shut that singin shit up nigga
Ladies and gentlemen this is a motherfuckin stick up!
The first motherfucker that move is gonna catch this motherfucker
Word up, up the motherfuckin wallet, the jewels
The cash, take your motherfuckin sneakers off
I'm not fuckin pl... bitch, if you move, I'm tellin you
You gonna get it
Nigga you tryin to hide your motherfuckin hands
Take them rings off motherfucker!
Ay man, gimme that motherfuckin cola nigga
I ain't fuckin playin!
The Stick Up by Redman is a song that tells a story of a robbery intervention in the middle of a party. The lyrics start with Redman holding a soda and protecting it so fiercely from everyone else. He then takes command of the situation by announcing a stick-up and orders everyone to put their hands up. The implication is that it is a serious intervention, and he threatens those who make an effort to resist them. The tone is aggressive and explicit, which is typical of Redman's style.
The second paragraph of the song is about Redman warning the people to no move, or they will be shot. He asks them to surrender their valuables, wallets, jewels, and cash. Redman also orders people to take off their sneakers, and if they resist or move, they will face the consequences. The song ends by Redman announcing that he is not playing games and demanding that one of the party-goers hands him his soda, which makes the song slightly humorous.
