- Once EMPD's Erick Sermon decided to open up his home to Redman toward the end of their album, Unfinished Business, he says the two lived in his one bedroom apartment and began to focus strictly on music for three years after getting kicked out of his parents' home. Before dropping his album, Red talks about finding income performing at clubs in New York that often got him in trouble. While New York rap promoted positivity, according to Red, he says Jersey rappers were all about punchlines, which got him kicked out of a Long Island venue. "I went in that b****, rocking and they was like, 'uh-uh, get this motherf***** out of here. Who he think he is, coming in with that s***? Nah, n**** we ain't paying y'all.'" He told DJ Vlad, "In other words, they was thinking I was too advanced and s***. We was playin' them out."
In this interview, the Jersey rapper goes in-depth about the start of his career and talks about being a part of the Revolutionary Posse of Terrorists, or R.P.T. along with Diezzle Don, before Wu-Tang existed. "We was like the first Wu-Tang; before Hit Squad, before Wu-Tang, before all of that." He said, "We was Revolutionary Posse of Terrorists and we was out of Newark and the crew consisted of eight motherf******."
He said while hanging with Diezzle; he had the opportunity to go to Def Jam and play his music for an executive in his car. Though the rep loved his music, they were looking for an artist to piggyback off of 3rd Bass' sound. After some time, when Red was getting his album ready with EMPD, he recalls meeting the same executive a year later. "I went back to that same office, to the same goddamn dude that I seen with my boy before I met EPMD, and he said, 'Yo, you the kid that was up here like a year ago.'" Redman continued, "I was like 'Yea, that was me.' That was the same dude, and I had kind of the same rhymes too, but just on EPMD's beat."
Red says after that second meeting, they loved the music, signed him, and released Whut? Thee Album, which eventually went gold.

VERY UNDERRATED.
UNDERRATED
yea by the mainstream.....but real heads already know
+Supreme5panel Maybe.But I also see a lot of lists of legends and Redman is many times not included
+james sterling yes cuz they r legends and red is there fav artist
Can listen to these "Redmin" interviews all day, such a proficient story teller
Red is legendary... Let's not forget about De La Soul 3ft high and rising with those amazing skits... A couple of years before ¿what the album?
It feels authentic when Red speaks. I want to see more interviews with him.
I love that he got this one braid is sticking out, reminds me of his interview back in 95, he never changed and never will
+Mike Hawk it's on RUclips, I wasn't alive when it came out tho
Probably the only braid left.
its amazing how k-solo still has his own unique style after all of these years, still sounds fresh today, nobody has bitten that. hit squad was the crew tho...redman, solo, diggity das efx, epmd, keith murray. in their prime even wu tang couldn't fuck with them.
No your history, solo and dmx have a known beef over spellbound,they each say the other one came up with it first
EAST Coast K SOLO
Redman is one of my heroes in and out of the booth. His personality reminds me of why I fell in love with Hip Hop. Be cool, be humble, but if someone tests or steps - be a savage. Easily one of the most respected lyricists within the legendary circle of rap but also one of the most down to earth people to ever grace the mic. Kids need to appreciate his catalogue and history more beyond the bars and hooks!!
finally a real cat mentioned ice cube people forget cube was the man in hip hop
nah. i mean he wasnt that lyrical and not that gangsta. i mean he went to highschool out of the hood
Redman top 5 all day !!
all day
He is elite for sure

De La Soul has been doing skits since '89...still, The Funk Doc has my respect as one of the greatest!
My favorite emcee. Reggie Noble always dope
Redman should write a book !! That would be awesome
I wish I could give your comment 💯 thumbs up!!!!!
"ERICK SERMON ASKED ME TO LIVE WITH HIM IN A ONE BEDROOM APARTMENT"
"AND OBVIOUSLY I COULDN'T REFUSE SHARING BED AND BATHROOM WITH THE NIGGA"
- REDMAN
😆
lol no homo
We was Banging 🤔
+nicealloys 😂😂😂😂
Ahahah
I bet Redman has stories for day's. I would love for him to drop a book about his life in and out of the industry. He's always been honest without trying to be an ass hole.
yeah first weed smoker id listen at high school in mid 90's
Still listen to Red's shit! Shits timeless.
I love his loudness, he's my favorite rapper! I'm so happy I finally got to see him and Meth live last weekend, meeting them at the end was a total surprise it was amazing! I'm definitely feeling blessed.
Holy shit,that's awesome I'm happy for u
Dre said " I don't smoke weed or cess ( sinsemilla), not "stress", LMAO.
Schoolly D ....cheba cheba 86 , years before Cypress & Red .

+NZU TYBO fact

I thought he just smoked , never knew he did drugs
+NZU TYBO
NWA had a skit on fuk the police.straight out of Compton 1988
I love Red!!! He's one of the best.
Am I the only one that want him to take his hat off, even for a quick second?
Nah he got the super push back
Didn't think about it, but now... that I read your comment. Lol... I do prefer him (& Mef) with their braids, tho. Envy the chick that gets to braid it up.
The production on his first album was groundbreaking
I never listen to hip hop but there are a few guys who I always watch in interviews. Redman is one of them.
Redman has the best skits in hip hop. "I got a soda, yall can't have a gotdamn sip" LMAO.
+awstevens120021 she said stop no and don't. I said bitcccch!
+Austin lmao. I remember that
Interview Method Man Vlad!
W
great interview.
Redman, Vlad...."De La Soul" was the first one's to do a album with
skits, in 1989 with their first album. They were actually offended when
other rappers did it after them because it became corny and trendy.
Your skits were dope also Redman. Prince Paul produced that "De La Soul"
platinum masterpiece!
I remember my first year in Atlanta moving out from OAKLAND in like 92...met Red before he got on at Jack the Rapper, T-shirt half on, wild hair, with a Cigar in his headband... LOVE THIS DUDE
Funk Doctor is the man! Been rocking with him since I was about 12. Red is just one them dudes in hip-hop who is just a lovable guy. It's hard to not like a song that he's on. His punchlines and rugged and humorous style is just awesome. Shout out to Jersey!
Can't wait, Whateva man, & Funkorama are my top 3 Redman hits.
What about Tonight's the night? or nah. Uses same song sample as can't wait.
Funkorama!
I agree with you but I gotta throw in one more track......BOBYAHEAD2DIS 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
+Edgar Dominguez There's so many more tracks we could throw in! "Da Journee"... especially when smoking that exotic. There's "Creepin'", "The Secret", "Slide & Rock On", "Redman Meets Reggie Noble", "Sooperman Lover II", "I'll Be Dat", and many, many more bangers.
How High, Ill Be Dat, Lets Get Dirty
keep the Redman interviews going Vlad
Great interview
I appreciate this dude
Red has been my dude from day 1. We're around the same age. I actually moved from Queens to a town over from Newark as a kid and funny how a few yrs ago, I noticed this dude would be at my old gym on a reg basis. Never spoke to him, oddly, but he did try to share a joke with me once when near each other. I laughed and kept it moving.
That said, dude is "how high" in this interview. Ha. And he severely mispoke. De La was doing skits before he even had an album, and yes, they are East Coast. Lol.
Yeah De La and Prince Paul are usually given the credit with creating the skit in hip hop. Maybe Red wasn’t really a fan of theirs to know that.
I said dame, Lionel Richie lost mad weight! Lmao
red man fucks everyone up with his punchlines.
one of the greatest to do it!!!(redman)...okm.
I fuck wit these redman interviews good shii vlad
Aye Redman funny as ever. He always keeps it real even dude in the working red saw that and probably was like nah keep filming lol raw and uncut
always liked playing with Redman on def Jam Vendetta. much respect.
Good to know he's still eating. How High is a hood classic 🔥
I lived in a one-bedroom apt with my wife and two kids for a while, and always slept on the couch (for birth control purposes :) ). I know the feeling.
And I could have sworn 2 Live Crew did a skit or two on their early albums. Could be wrong though.
De La been doing skits before Redman. If you wanna get technical you can consider the outro on LL's second LP as a skit.
"another album, WE DID IT AGAIN..." 😂😂 yell
+BOX5 BASTARD No doubt bro.
De La Soul did skits in 1989..
I just posted that and Blacksheep had skits
3rd Bass had some ill ass skits too, Lol.
great 2 see him fine. OLDSCHOOL LoVE !
big up to Red, super legend!
Actually De La Soul was the first ones doing skits on the East Coast
"I forget his name, but he know who he is.."
lmfaoooooo
yeah the dude with the face
+SvG LOL
@@SvG627 ... lmmfao ...

More RedMan Please
Never listened to his music BUT I know from his character and reputation this interview would be DIAMOND
awesome history.
Funk Doc is one of my all time favorites.
Redman is entertaining to listen to. Would be cool to meet him.
Dare Iz A Darkside is one of the greatest albums of all time.
I actually scrolled all through the comments to see if somebody was going to mention this album. I can go do something productive now, L.O.L.
+deezy81 lol
Yes, Dare Iz A Darkside was one of my favourite albums back in the days. Muddy Waters, Erick Sermon's Double or Nothing aswell.
Agreed Basement

Redman got some dope stories
REYEEEEEDDDDD! Youuuuuuu Blow My Minnnndddddd Babyyyyyy! PRESS REWIND IF I HAVEN'T BLOWN YOUR MIND!
Whut? The Album hands down my favorite album up and down. Rated R is a hip hop classic 👌 and Tonites The Night is still bumping in my whips...
I love how Red give it up to what was going on around him at the time. “Latifah a day Trech was doin this.” “K-Solo was doing this...”
Respect Red! ✊🏾👊🏾
Much Respect to the OG n still rocking better than the fools that are out now
Damn! Nice way to cut the interview off when I wanted to hear more about the weed and hiphop collaboration... fuck it I'll watch How High lol
tight mad tight

I wish Red would write a book....he would be PAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIID from all the experiences he's gone through.
Erick and those Industrial bangers on Whut Thee Album
I just peeped Tarik in the background
Redmans' coo as fuck.....funny when he tried to put his hand through the car and said" Damm....I must not be high enough"
I rolled my first blunt a year after hearing red man album . My uncle use to have it in them tan envelopes but after red dropped everybody in my hood was blazing and sippin Saint ides
his first lp is his best
dope
daaaaaag he got ooolllddd
Yes
Flipmode Vs Def Squad
MC Shan was saying "Get Blunted" in 87...
my fav on that Def Jam vendetta game
I remember that freestyle he did with Biz. It made it on to mixtape. I might have heard it on stretch and bobbito.
Correction Redman,.. DE LA SOUL originated the skits phenomenon in Hip Hop.
"I don't smoke weed or SESS" 😑. Vlad stay getting quotes wrong
Sensimilia
Yo hold up! are they in a skateboard shop? o' hell yeah! THAT'S MY DUDES!
