Redman is honest to his fans and to himself.
back when i lived on long island my high school teacher told me a story about how he was in line at dunkin donuts and redman walked in and treated everyone
@@emanonymous I go to work at 330 am. And a year or so back I stopped at a gas station close to the crib, and there was an older white dude workin there. He asked if I liked rap, i said yea. And he said some rappers named Method Man and Red Man had left a cple minutes earlier and had bought every blunt they had lol said they were really cool guys. Red and Meth both used to run around my city all in the hood with no security. Just hangin out off of respect and love.
At least Redman and Steve-O aren't frauds.
He a real one!
TRUTH!
First pimp my ride and now cribs I'm just slowly discovering that my childhood was a lie
I was hurt too but now days they could really get put on blast this MF faking then this Cuban chains 🤣😝🤣😝
Man o man..., I feel your pain. AND! I remember that yin yang episode on Cribs when I was in grade school lol. Always thought there was something funny about that episode lmao
Man i feel the same way smh.
@@darkbladeyautjaclan-2026 it kinda showz that music industry is not even as glitzy n glammorous as its made out to be. Now i feel like my teen life was a lie.
ditto
No one is surprised to see Bow Wow
Eva Adesuwa I was literally about to comment this! 🤣🤣
He is still lying about his wealth and lifestyle
Eva Adesuwa lmaoooooooo
Eva Adesuwa 😂😂😂
Forreal! He was the first one I thought of lmao
Redman was hilarious...”dis my walk-in closet. You can walk in and walk out” 😂
That was really good. Nothing like keeping it real
Exactly nothing like it. I truly appreciate him keeping it real. Now that man I can respect
I thought he said Step-In Closet. [+]
😂😂😂😂😂😂
That country ass house didn’t even fit the Ying Yang twins😂
"What my brother said! " lying their ass off!! 😭
I met them before- they def wasnt banking they were bummin cigs backstage when I saw them
True
Ok 😂😂😂
Their 2nd cribs video is much more realistic [+]
Now I understand why Redman get so much respect in the hip hip community
Faraj Aa-Taweel because his music is dope... not cause of his crib
He smell farts
It isnt becuz of his house smh
Facts
@@seansalata7128 naw cus the mtv cribs to
So Cribs was the early 2000's Instagram
Bella Badu yep fake af just like IG wealth 😂
Pretty much.
Yep
Lol😘
In a nutshell
I couldn’t fake like something was mine... I’d feel stupid af
Exactly, I feel the exact same way! 💯💯 💯
pineappleskies88 they paid them to do it
Would you fake for a price?
Exactly. Especially when people who know you knows what’s really up.
Magicalindigo Adult see that I didn’t know 😂 that bag make u think differently
Red man ironing on the floor, I can relate to that. 😂I remember that episode and loved his honesty.
teetee me that damn door bell though! Hahahahaha
The lotion right on the night stand too lmao that was the best one cause he didnt give a fuck
Ain't shit fake about Funk Doc
I got a dollar box after that episode and never looked back
@@christraymer3727 you need to upgrade it to dollar sock.
Redman is a real man, that’s why he and Method Man and the whole Wu-Tang Clan is still the best hip-hop group from then til now.
Redman wasn't ever in Wu-Tang.
Def squad
@@aparks6463 you clearly don't even know who they are. You don't have to make music with the group to be part of it. Really, the Wu Tang clan isn't even a group, it's a brotherhood. Since Redman supports what the group believes in, and is close with methodman, he's a member by association.
I was surprised to see how many of those guys dont own cars or houses, and got to beg rza to pay their rent.
No Redman ain’t in Wutang but they did name him an honorary member
Redman had the best episode lol
Yes! I said the same thing 😂🤣😂
Chris Pontius one was a step further than Redman. He was living out his car so he just showed the ins and outs of his car lol
@@Doomreb lol I think that was fake because jackass was the #1 show at the time ik he could afford a house
That's my favorite episode 😂
Facts
I wish celebrities were honest with their wealth.
Redman had the best episode 😂😂😂 his house was so ghetto but he kept it real
Their job is to portray an illusion..
If they were honest about that they would also have to be honest about slave contracts (360 deals*), the crap they went through and continued to go through to maintain fame (plus ish they've done), and more lol
*i explain what 360 contracts are below. Keep reading the thread
@@beamarla8218 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@randombrokeperson 360 deals? What's that?
Damn JoJo was homeless, still doesn't own her music and still kept it more real than these lame ass no longer relevant rappers.
The industry did her DIRTY af
At least Jo Jo and Redman kept it real. I respect that.👍
Y’all did JoJo so bad.
Stream her all her Music so sis can live the life she deserves
@@soyalexpop thanks to berry haugton (Aaliyah Uncle)
I literally remember the ying yang twins and being so confused why they lived in a suburban soccer mom house lol
You can see them 2 skeeting on a cul de sac?
Lmao for real
🤣🤣🤣🤣
At the time I thought maybe I was just thinking too deep into it but it always seemed to strike me how the home decor didn’t match the the personalities or styles of the celebrities giving the tour.Or I thought well they have lots of money to afford a decorator.
I was a kid and thought, the Ying Yang Twins love boats? Was it cuz of their Dad? [+]
I used to feel so jealous and felt poor seeing this growing up and now I feel dumb..its weird how they just lie
Everything that ever made you feel jealous, unless they were just born with it, comes with a price. And if they were born with it, they deserve it.
LoL 😂. This show was my childhood. But I knew some of these cribs were too good to be true. *(The Bow Wow challenge)* 👀
Mine to
Cribs was your childhood?? How...fckng...SAD!
@@ryublueblanka who ?
@@anointedbyjesus do I hear an 🦉??
@@ryublueblanka what ?
Smh Blackground records did nothing for Jojo but wasted her time. A voice like hers should’ve been much more successful then where she at. They cheated my good sis!
Aaliyah and toni were cheated too out of their fame
I'm a fan of Jojo music I have her 2nd CD, i had to download her first album a couple of years ago I couldn't find it anywhere.
@@sharondahumphries8108 Toni and Aaliyah were pretty famous at their time though. Not sure if they got shit pay though.
@@JLDReactions tlc didn't get anything from their hard work and beautiful voices, I think tboz was bankruptcy because of her sickle cell I think. And they was a major hit back in the day.
I would have to agree when she said her info I felt bad foe her, hopefully she is doing much better.
Mariah’s episode is ICONIC. When she was fake working out in that tiny dress and those heels, I truly became a stan. I love her extra self 😅😭
Mariah is one of my favorites I just adore her also
My FAVVVV episode 😍
Queen Ruva Of course dahhling Mariah’s the best
The best one!
She took up the show and at the end said it was part of her house.🔥
Mariah carey was probably the one who didn't need to borrow nor rent the home was personalised to her taste with butterflies everywhere
Just because someone is famous doesn’t always mean their as wealthy as it seems 🤷🏽♀️ A lot of celebrities don’t even bring home millions of dollars like we think. People still be renting items / homes till this day on the low 😭
Maybe they save up their money and invest instead of renting to impress broke people they wouldn't be broke xD
they spend all their money on temp shit.. otherwise known as living (in my opinion). Going on crazy vacations, buying expensive stuff, eating at nice restaurants.. you can chew through a lot of money that way and celebs are pressured to live like that by societal standards. A multi mil house doesn't really do much for you.. what are you gonna do with 8 BRs
Record labels, managers, agents, taxes starts asking for their cut and soon that million dollar check becomes pennies.
@Renee Jewell TLC was broke as hell because their label robbed them. I'm glad they called them out & didn't pretended to be rich
Redman had the most legit home out of them all 😂😂
Yep!😊👍💖
💯✊💯👍💯👌💯✊💯👍💯👌💯✊💯👍💯👌
Youngbloodz Did Too....They Showed Their Trap House 😭😭😭✌️
I know, it’s the most memorable to me, the way he used an old shoebox to put cash in and put that on top of his fridge!! Like why not put that in a safe? Lol! And also the way his screen on the porch door was broken out too, that was hilarious, but at least he was being real
Brivonn facts
Redman's episode is my favorite episode.
He is also very down to earth in real life.
I've seen him several times shopping in a department store where I used to live.
When people recognized him he never acts funny- he would give autographs, take pictures, and he always speaks.
He's just a very nice man in general.
Thank you for sharing this. He sounds really nice and unpretentious. Now I respect him more.
I met Redman once he is a sweetheart I would love to meet him again. I know Redman has to have money I'm glad he is living like a regular person.
mines to his place was junky but at least it was an honest episode.
Yeah but i still don’t think that was his house tho. My parents have a way better house . And they aren’t as rich as him lol
Love Redman he always been real
I always thought they used rentals because they didn’t want to actually show their real houses and cars for privacy reason
Wow
ctomnt13 Same
Makes sense
✋
I do think that’s why lol...
if they were so concerned about privacy they could've just stayed off the show
Redman’s screen door 😂 (I can relate) 😭
Sheena Durham you pretty
Late I know but same here
Redman showing us his “walk in” closet and his cousin sleeping on the damn floor. 😭😭😭
I appreciate the honesty and the broken doorbell.
Redman will go down in history as the realest rapper ever. When MC Hammer confronted him about dissin his mum Red said he replied "YES SIR"😂😂😂 gotta love such a humble real dude, not trying to portray the hyper gangsta image or wannabe billionaire persona. Big Ups to Funk Doc.
Him and my guy BIG PUN...Pun just like redman was a real deal hollyfield.A realest rapper that ever lived! The man what he rhymed in his songs. And even tho he was famous and had money he still lived in the Bronx. Rip Pun pana.
And I appreciate MC Hammer going to him personally. It seems like everybody wants to Dis somebody on a record or Cry to a Media outlet. They both should get respect
Mariah Carey & Red Man had the best episodes!
Yes!!!
Facts!
So true! And they were completely different from eachother 😅 crazy
Mariah Carey’s house was crazy. That episode is soo iconic, I remember watching it and thinking this woman is living the dream.
Penny hardaway, master p
Every new thing I learn about JoJo just makes me sad. She is incredibly talented and deserved so much better
ruclips.net/video/VA164N4Q5W8/видео.html
Crazy shit I actually know they daughter frfr
I agree, I just learned about what happened to her the other day from someone who said that he couldn't find JoJo the singer, but that all that popps up is that JoJo Siwa girl with the tight ass ponytail, huge forehead, receding edges, and deep ass voice. I take it he was upset? 😆
@@faithruckdeschel1294 LMFAOOOO why he do JoJo Siwa like that 😭
Redman and Mariah Carey were the only real ones !
forgetting the jackass crew? one of them literally showed that he was living out of his car haha
Even tho he rented the ferrari’s i’d still say 50 was pretty real.
Shaq's crib Carmelo Anthony and Lala's crib and Penny hardaway
I praise redman and Mariah Carey
Thier house s are heavy
'Redman' and 'Jo jo' was the and is sill real house on MTV'S Cribs.
Jackass crew showed their real cribs too. No glitter, no shit just the truth right and there.
Yeah, everyone forgets Jojo. She didn't rent anything or put on a show. Jojo is still real today!
Nahh, JoJo showed off her uncle's crib and said it was hers.
@@PurplePinkRed JoJo is hot
I think 50 Cent owned his home, but just not the cars. I'd guess Mariah Carey owned her house too.
Bow Wow is iffy, because he was very popular around then, with starring roles in movies and his music. I don't know if he had credits as an executive on his music though, which probably hurt his finances compared to where he could be
Mariah and Redman were the realest episodes! 😎👍📺
And missy!
I think Mariah & Redman are Both aries too...we don’t fake sh*t. Always keep it real 😂❤️♈️
@@shaylynmarie9572 yes we don't and she got the same birthday as me March 27th well I got the same birthday as her because she's older than me
Aries
And Missy and Jojo
I miss the 2000s .
Mutant X I swear I do. Almost every day.
The best
jeralin banyon waking up everyday feeling like “man I wonder what Crazy shit finna happen today” .. feeling refreshed everyday the cool air used to feel good back then
Mutant X me to it was the best
Same
Redman's house was my fav. Realness, no fake no phony.
Dude had a Sega Dreamcast and a LCD panel by his bed in 1999...no one was hating on that!
That was the best episode of MTV Cribs, period
At this point, the only celebrity that I can say that actually showed their real home was Mariah Carey.
and redman
Even 50 Cent he just lied about his cars😢
Bow wow still lives his inhis tht mansion to date
@@rickrhymes7875 Speak English😬
@@goat7897 eh spk god tht englishyou knw
Amazing irony that the producers tried to fuck over Redman by turning up really early, and yet his episode is the best one and everyone respects him for keeping it real.
“But BOW WOW didn’t stop there” 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀😂😂😂😂😂 you wild for that
So much respect for Redmans honesty but he coulda cleaned up first.
He said in an interview he didn't have time to clean because they showed up 3 hours earlier than they were supposed to. Hence the reason why his cousin was still laying on the floor sleep during the episode.
@@drestathagangsta8880 I thought the cousin asleep on the floor was actually faked but still funny af.
@@kellie5476Haha, it was definitely funny no doubt.
@@drestathagangsta8880 lmao
They caught him off guard
Redmans episode was memorable. I remember him saying how the producers wanted him to rent a fancy home but he refused lol they got the real that day lol
I remember that episode. I thought the opposite. I thought he had used someones poor house
At least JoJo did say that she was homeless later on it was cool as hell that Redman did his thing
“It’s bow wow” LMAOOAOAOAOA that took me out
"oh yeah that's my cousin right there" 😂😂😂
Random man asleep on the floor
@@LaneJane23 wasn't that method man?
I love how Redman was like im proud of my two bedroom.
Makes me proud to live in my two bedroom apartment
I remember Redman's episode... I loved how he kept it real.
“Syringes an condoms”...damn, dry snitchin 😂
🤢
What about MTV Diary? "You think you know...but you have no idea" lol
Whoa, the good old days. Haven't heard someone say that in a min.
That was a good show.
@@ena__we4205 i know right
Yesssss
Pretty sure that was real...
I never knew Dame Dash rented Mariah Carey's home 😭😭
Lol 😂 😂😂 😂
Yeah brah
Yea, but then he was mad at the breakfast club for having/ liking a boss. Moron.
The only one who kept it real was Redman. Hell his own momma even said " You know damn well that's not your house"
I never knew Redman, but I got a lot of respect for him for not wanting rent a luxury home just for a TV show.
The Cribs episode I’ll always believe the most is the Mariah Carey episode. Her place fits her personality to a t.
dgaller06 yep tacky as hell
And can you do one on Bad Girls Club and the beginning of their downfall
TiaA yes!
I miss bgc
I kinda like the crime direction that the Oxygen channel went in, but I am curious why BGC ended too.
Yes please !
Stigmata Martyr multiple reasons...they lost a lawsuit to jelaminah and the clermont twins, coupled with the fact that oxygen was changing its direction because while bad girls club was one of their more popular shows it wasn’t advertiser friendly.
It's all a facade ppl! Wake up! Ppl out here killin themselves tryna be like celebs and others. You never know what a person did to get those things or if those things are even their's... Moral of the story be happy with yourself and what you got, don't stress and base your happiness on having material things that don't mean anything!...
material things do mean something though if not we wouldn't be stressing over them they bring happiness to us having a big home and a big TV and a nice car will bring happiness to anybody and anybody who begs to differ is fucking lying you know damn well you would be happy with one million in your bank account right now you wouldn't complain about anything or care about any other problem anymore because you were going to be so overjoyed with all your wealth that technically any problems you had we're going to either be solved or you weren't going to care about them anymore cuz you were going to have bigger fish to fry like how to spend your million which at the end of the day would result in you going to bed happy every night
Ja Rule was pulling another Fyre festival xD
Red man is still a legit person and that's why he's one of the greatest hip hop artist.
Mr.Badluck nah blue face
@@reynaldoray7539 what do you mean?
Blue face the best artist ever
@@reynaldoray7539 you don't think so. You must be a 69 fan.
@@reynaldoray7539 my bad. I haven't heard blue face. I'll give it a go. Thanx and my bad Rey
Redman is one of the realist for that right there ❤️❤️❤️
Do celebrities who have secret weight loss surgery
Kanye west lol
🤣🤣
💀💀💀
Beyonce been havin them since Destiny's Child days! Years later Kelly Rowland opened up and shared that they (Bey and her) always wanted to have breast implants before even the Say My Name era, but Tina Knowles always told them to wait till they're older. Once they really blew up Bey went regardless and got everything done, breasts, nose, lipo, you name it. And that was all before Crazy in Love. Kelly said she waited until she was well into her 20s
Andréas here before the behive come for u 😂 didn’t know Beyoncé had job done 😲
And within this being said it's always tells us that perception leads to illusion... people are so thrown off by the shine and the glitter of what's not SHOWN
I remember watching Redman’s episode. I found it so funny. At least he was honest.
I feel sorry for JoJo, it was understandable that she would use her uncle’s house given her circumstances at the time. At least she stayed modest.
Redman's Cribs episode was my favorite. Realest shit ever. Lol
Ja Rule actually admitted on that episode the Miami mansion was rented so he never lied like the others. It was the MTV cribs Fast and Furious edition.
@Leslie B No I think Ja rented it. Either him or Irv Gotti.
The way that car agency exposed Bow Wow for renting their car 😂 peeettty.
Probably gave him a discounted rate on the promise of a free plug.
It’s sad ying yang twins had a basic sub division house and they lied 😫😭 it’s makes you think we’re they really struggling
Hell yeah man if u put album out doesnt mean u rich im from Atlanta u see they bomb ass still on the southside buying weed jay z 50 cent diddy , ti got that bag .......
Yeah that made me sad
They spent all their money on bullshit like goofy haircuts, clothes, cars and whatever else is stupid and meaningless.
Typical Atlanta. I grew up in Atlanta during the late 90s and early 2000s when the Atlanta rap scene became big and their house looks very basic lol.
The is why ODB has my respect because he kept it real on his episode. Love Red Man for what he did, especially the "that's my cousin sleeping over there"🤣🤣
“Chevy phantom” doesn’t even exist
Rhod Wolff lol 😂 I thought I heard wrong...
Came looking for this
did you see the car? it’s a chevy caprice with a phantom front end swapped onto it. so chevy phantom is pretty accurate
Rolse royce
Seth Fulton It looked like trash.
I remember the episode where Mariah Carey worked out on a treadmill in heels. Lol
Stilettos
syringes and condoms??????? *soulja boy voice*
Word!!! I was like wtf?!?!
Ikr
This why i dont do parties 🤷🏽 why can't folks throw wholesome parties nowadays were the most inappropriate ish we do is twerk 😂
@@shanshan8687 no. Apparently our faves and their friends are strung out
Condoms? Condomsss????
Redman had the best episode. He kept it real. He didn't fake having a nice car and house. Even in a interview he was exposing other people who were faking a lifestyle..
When I use to deliver for postmates the people with huge mansions/homes wouldn't have amazingly expensive cars. They'd have regular ones like us. The only people I saw with expensive cars would be middle-class homeowners. Seeing that really woke me up. Real wealthy people aren't buying like crazy that's us middle-class people doing that.
"Lets not act like we weren't fans of bow wow"
Let me stop you right there sis, never that 💯
The audacity smh
😂
exactly
Ever!!
I wasn’t a fan of his tbh
That intro is everything ❤
How about just NOT agree to film the show? I didn’t mind the rental because if I were famous there’s no way I’m divulging my REAL address!
Exactly, showing the outside of your crib is a safety concern lol
Chu Chu Because doing the show is great publicity especially when you´re not super famous yet.
I appreciate Reds honesty. His house was fine, just needed some decor.
Redman has to be the realest person on this list. I loved the fact that he didn't think it was necessary to have a huge home. Because it's not.
Ja Rule said in his episode as soon as it started saying this is the rented mansion...key word rented
💯
I got so excited when you upload
Totally. This is my favorite channel these days!

That episode disturbed and confused me as a child lol.
@@darkskyparadise1384 i wanna watch it now😢😭

"The industry's a facade" T.I.
I remember the Redman episode! There was another rapper who showed his real crib, too, but I can't think of his name. It was hilarious, though. He had a broken screen door if I remember right.
That was Redman with broken screen door. There were other rappers who had legit homes on Cribs. Snoop, Master P and Nelly's houses were all real too.
Mary Watkins I think it was Cypress Hill
It was the young bloods from out of Atlanta. Sean Paul & J-Bo
Was it Scarface? I remember his place being quite modest.

Redman’s episode was always me and my brother’s favorite episode 😂.
I was never a fan of bow wow lol.
I love jojo for being honest.
Respect to redman
Shout out to redman, he was raised right
When the ting tang twins were actin like a sail boat I cried😂
If yall follow redman on instagram him and his mama still live there till this day... I love him so much!
When you look at RUclips influencers doing the same thing like celebrities, it just showed how far RUclips strayed from being a platform for everyday people to corporate platform.
when i was young i knew this show was fake the day i saw the mtv cribs of Destiny's child. In the episode Beyoncé Kelly and Michelle lived together in the same house. PLEASE
now with AirBnB, Turo & IG, we can all flex with rentals lol
I actually thought redmans crib was fake,i was like nahh red got dough and he just joking,the jokes on me.
Me too. I thought he was the only one lying. [+]
This was definitely my childhood afterschool. Then if they had a marathon on Saturdays! I'd be tuned right in.
Nova Love keep up the weight loss
I remember some will be hesitant to open their fridges and others there would be only bottled water in em it all makes sense now!
Redman is the most real one here.
Redmans house will always be iconic. I remember almost every detail of that episode.
Got me a “Dolla Box” because of Redman! 💯
I don't understand why though. People like celebs more if they're relatable. People who are real, humble, and don't put up a front.
It was probably due to security and privacy reasons.
Jarrad Williams Then what the hell is the point of even making the show?
Nah, some people like to see how the other side lives. There's a reason why Mariah Carey's episode is a favorite.
All I know is Trina better be on the list. They exposed her for this many years ago. Everything was rented for rappers’ music videos & the jewelry they wore in their music videos was fake. So this isn’t surprising.
Rene 1111 did you even watch the video?
Tha Stan yes, afterwards.
To my recollection, Trina's home was never featured on MTV Cribs but it was featured BET's How I'm Living which was a knock off version of Cribs. And from what I've heard, her house was either rented or she borrowed it for filming. She was actually living in an apartment at the time.
Dresta tha Gangsta I never heard that story, but I believe it. I googled it & she was on season 6 of MTV cribs. I remembering hearing that her cars were rented for the show. The house probably wasn’t hers either
@@Risha-Rene So she was on MTV Cribs after all? I didn't think she was. I just remember seeing her on the BET version lol. I can believe the cars were rented too. And I can't remember who or where I heard that originally, but it was exposed that her house on the show wasn't hers either. Matter of fact, the same person said she's never owned a house.
Did anybody ever watch the show called The fabulous life of.. I always liked that over cribs
I used to watch that all the time. They would go into detail about everything but it was intriguing to watch though
It was just ads for rich rental homes
Redman put all these rappers/singers to shame with one of realest episodes of MTV Cribs ever put on, point, blank, period!
Redman was the best! 😂😂 The "walk-in closet" and his cousin sleeping on the floor brought me back to laughing myself to tears 🤣🤣🤣🤣 He was real about it though and I respect that 💯
This is why I'll NEVER sign any deal with any record label... They're disgusting.. Just keep everything you earn for themselves SMH
Kay Klash nah a lot these ppl weren’t smart the probably don’t own any of there masters or label
..and you are?😋 Doesn´t seem like the smartest choice if you really want a career. Advice, just read the contract before you sign;)
Independent is the safe way to go
StefAcho or have great paralegals
Nah the label always gets paid off the first album, that’s how it should be. They are taking all the risk and investment. If it bombs they lose hundreds of thousands, and most bomb. The second album is for the star to get theirs. So long as the star signs a regular deal. If they get fucked that’s on them.
