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.

Ooh {"So let's do a little somethin like this"}
Yeah, yo, check it out
I'ma walk in gutta, get that butter
Only dude with a weed sign on the chucker
Hood down, car kinda loud from the muffler
Like DAMN when I profile at the Rucker
Bitches (Got Game), I'm (Above the Rim)
Call my gun Magnolia Soulja Slim
Do "The Freak" on the floor, two steps to the side
Talk greasy like Popeye's breast and a thigh
I got sour diesel roll
One hit of this bitch, your whole staff is (out of control) {"Ohh!"}
I'm programmed for winnin, Sean John to denim
Fly guy got shoes with fish in water swimmin
You pointed me out, bad guy with the mouth
I'm Oscar, no wonder muh'fucker I'm a (Grouch)
I work around dirt, eyes focused on turf
You tried to hide before your NexTel chirp!
Blaow gotcha, you the best nigga call the doctor
Like Chinese tryin to salsa
It's never gonna be in (Groove), call Stella back
Holiday Inn 'em, then back in the shuttle van
Bitch give me head on the first date, what a fan
Three best MC's I think on the other hand
Stand like an officer, not a gentleman
Niggaz get rich off of stolen car settlements!
[Chorus: Biz Markie (Erick Sermon)]
I say yes yes y'all {"One-two one-two"} to the beat y'all

Hah hey-hey-hey, we gon' do a lil' somethin like this I say

Hah hey-hey-hey {"So let's do a little somethin like this"}
(Huh, huh, why'knowmsayin so I said)
[Erick Sermon]

A New York nigga man back in the mix

Cheese, all out my pocket; can't stop it (uhh)
All you can do now boy is just respect it
I ain't par tomorrow but the E is connected
Look what happens when you spin the records
Hip-Hop at its best, nothin to mess with (yeah)

Cut the check at 40 grand for shows

The beat got it (Clap) like them boys from 'Nolia, I told ya
Yeah, I do it real big by a coat check
With no bling-bling around my neck, yup

Toasted up, ready to roast a duck (uh-huh)
When I say street team, I don't mean niggaz that put posters up (word)
Let's be blatant, you achin and ancient
We capered in your hood with dirty machetes and bloody aprons
I'll acquire a tec, quiet your rep
Stay quiet as deaf, or Kanye's choir rep (uh-huh)
As I make another left, quiet I crept, quiet you slept
I'm back with the tec, like I never left (surprise niggaz!)
See frivolous beef'll get you curiously shot (uh-huh)
You fuckin with Keith, I think seriously not (hell no)
I ATTACK like a blue-nose pit off gunpowder (yeah)
And love to soup the beef up just like clam chowder
With my Squad in the house, we misbehave
Get drunk and tongue-kiss bitches like Flavor Flav
[Chorus]
{"One-two one-two... please man don't get with that bullshit"}
{"So let's do a little somethin like this..."}
The song "Walk In Gutta" by Redman features verses from Erick Sermon, Keith Murray, and Redman himself. The intro sets the stage for the Def Squad, with a call and response greeting before Redman launches into his verse. The lyrics describe the life of a hustler, walking in the gutter to get his money, with a loud car and a weed sign on his chucker. He talks about his signature weed, sour diesel roll, and boasts about his prowess with women and his ability to talk greasy. He compares himself to Oscar the Grouch, saying that he works around dirt and doesn't care about it. He also warns his enemies to watch their backs, as he is programmed for winning and won't hesitate to take them out.
Erick Sermon's verse describes his own experiences walking in the gutter as a New York rapper. He talks about getting respect in the industry and being able to attract women without trying too hard. He brags about his ability to call the shots and get paid $40,000 for shows, without needing any bling to show off his success. Keith Murray's verse is similarly braggadocious, describing himself as a Def Squad member who will kick anyone's ass if they talk shit. He talks about his street team and their love for Pinot Gregio and roasted duck, and warns his enemies that they will get "curiously shot" if they mess with him. Finally, he talks about his misbehaving with the Def Squad, getting drunk and tongue-kissing women like Flavor Flav.

My street team is not just people who put up promotional posters - they're my enforcers

This is just me and my crew getting our point across - no need to argue or fight
{"So let's do a little somethin like this..."}
Let's keep this party going and have some fun together
