Redman and Method Man have been together since 1994’s Month of the Man when they had just released their respective sophomore and debut albums on Def Jam. The two weed aficionados were soon recording together and eventually released two albums, a movie, commercials and a TV show.
Redman sat down with The AV Club and talked about why he and Mr. Meth make such a good team.
“Because we don’t have egos,” Red explained. “We don’t have animosity. We understand the goal that we’re out to do, and we understand our job. We don’t let animosity and egos get in the way.”
When questioned if they didn’t have egos in general or just with each other, Red continued. “In general! Just in general, man. Animosity and egos and unloyalty plays a very big role in everything, whatever you’re trying to do. Whether it’s your business, whether you just making one transaction, you gotta be honest, you gotta be loyal. Even if it was just to do one show, you can’t have egos, or the show’ll be messed up. You mad at this, ’cause this thing happened… Put it this way, the shortest thing between people is communication, and we have that. Not saying we don’t have our issues, ’cause we do, just like anybody else would. But we know how to control the issue where it’s not affecting the money and the brand that we created.”
Last week we talked to Redman about Dare Iz A Darkside and Saukrates. Check that out here.
Wow, egos play a big role in any group’s chemistry and now that I think about it, any show I’ve seen this guys do they’re very professional about it. That’s what makes these two one of the best duos in Rap today (a top 5 for me with Run-DMC, OutKast, EPMD and Capone-N-Noreaga)

yuh they my fav mc’s wish they made another cd 2gether, instead of the trash red put out. truth be told i have not bought a red cd since DARE IS A DARKSIDE. meth well i gave em a chance on his last outing,wish i saved my money. what they need to do is sick with erick sermon n rza beats…stop tryna cater to this youngins, cater to your core fans.
you don’t know what their core fan base wants I’ve bought every album they’ve done and on their release dates too and I loved Meths last album
and how the fuck are you claiming to be part of their core fanbase when you’ve jus admitted you didn’t even buy Redmans Muddy Waters album which everyone I’ve ever spoke to or heard speak on it considers it a classic and Reds dopest album?
To not cop Muddy Waters is a complete failure as a Redman fan. That album is waaaaaay to ill to be ignored. smh.
They get along because they re 2 forty years old kids on drugs
They ll be cool until they grow up
agreed! and the sad part is they both have children.
Weed is less damaging than Alcohol you oblivious retard!
How parents drink?
Its not 1912 anymore..Do you even know why Weed is illegal?
Congratulations! You have no credibility.
You are the equivalent of a rock fan writing “The Beatles suck” or “Led Zeppelin sucks.”
But thanks for playing!
they get along so well because they’re FAGS!
Better watch your mouth before wu-tang shows up at your door and you get knocked the fuck out. They’ll sew your asshole closed and keep feedin you… and feedin you…
