Method Man and Redman gave Hip Hop fans a nearly three-hour Verzuz performance on Tuesday (April 20) during an event appropriately dubbed “How High.” Among the roughly 171,000 viewers, notable names such as Jermaine Dupri, Russell Simmons and Diddy popped up in the comment section as the seasoned duo sailed through songs such as “Da Rockwilder” and “Y.O.U.”
Judging by Eminem’s recent tweet, he was tuned in as well. On Thursday (April 22), Slim Shady shared Redman’s latest song “80 Barz” and wrote in the caption, “It goes Reggie…,” a reference to the black t-shirt Redman was rocking at one point during their performance that read: “It Goes Reggie, JAY-Z, Tupac & Biggie.”
Of course, Reggie is short for Redman’s birth name, Reginald, and commonly used to refer to the Hip Hop legend. And the t-shirt is a nod to Shady’s 2002 single “Till I Collapse.”
Eminem and Redman collaborated on the 2000 track “Off The Wall,” which appeared on the official soundtrack for Nutty Professor II: The Klumps starring Eddie Murphy. Shady also routinely refers to Redman as one of his favorite rappers. In June 2020, YouTuber NoLifeShaq got Eminem to rattle off his top picks for best MCs and the Wu-Tang Clan affiliate was right up there with Lil Wayne, JAY-Z and 2Pac.
For me, in no particular order,” he tweeted at the time. “Toss up between wayne, pac, royce, jay, redman, treach, g. rap, biggie & king crook.”
He later added LL Cool J, Nas, Joyner Lucas, Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole, André 3000, Rakim and Big Daddy Kane.
Redman is finally inching closer to releasing Muddy Waters 2, the long awaited follow-up to the 1996 original. The project was originally expected to arrive in 2018 but was pushed back. Speaking to HipHopDX Senior Writer Kyle Eustice last September, Redman explained, “You have to understand that I’m a self-contained artist. That means I engineer everything right here in my house that I’m talking from. I engineer, I write the music and I mix in my house. What I learned from Def Jam — because I’m a Def Jam baby — I learned all my tutelage on how to put out music through Def Jam.
Redman Provides Substantial 'Muddy Waters 2' Album Update
“The only thing now that’s missing is me having a date and me rushing when they want me to put it out. I’m able to move on my own time. Last time I talked to you, I thought I was ready, but I wasn’t. A couple of months ago, I knew I was ready to put the album out, but COVID hit. I’m like, ‘I want to be able to be out there to promote the album, not sit from a couch doing interviews.’”
Muddy Waters 2 is scheduled to drop sometime this summer. In the meantime, cop the t-shirt Redman was wearing here.

Just about to say, why doesn’t this article mention that that list is from Eminem’s Till I Collapse. “It goes Reggie, Jay Z, Tu Pac and Biggie. Andre from OutKast, Jada, Kurupt, Nas and then me”
It does say that the list and shirt is a nod to Eminem’s song Till I Collapse…. 3rd paragraph into the article, if you can read that is.

How hard is it as a Hip Hop site to know that the t-shirt was a reference to an Eminem song?
Yeah, that’s a bad look lol
How is there not one reference to where the quote came from? ?️?️?️?️
Are you serious? U can’t be serious? You OBVIOUSLY aren’t a true fan of Hip-hop if u don’t know where the quote came from. Here’s a hint: Eminem.
So being a feminem stan, means you’re a true hiphop fan nowadays????????? How times have changed……
R I seriously going to define what hip-hop means now? Please enlighten me!
LOL its a reference to the T Shirt.
For the life of me, I hope they know the reference.
The fact they dont mention it in the article is crazy
I give it a Fuck Yea play that shit again!
yeah i think anyone who was around hiphop back in the days would’ve known it came from an Em verse on till i collapse, and not some t shirt redman was wearing…RIP nate dogg..X..BR..Shock G
Till i collapse???????Legendary
Verse 2: Eminem]
Music is like magic, there’s a certain feelin’ you get
When you real and you spit, and people are feelin’ your shit
This is your moment, and every single minute you spend
Tryna hold on to it ’cause you may never get it again
So while you’re in it, try to get as much shit as you can
And when your run is over, just admit when it’s at its end
‘Cause I’m at the end of my wits with half the shit that gets in
I got a list, here’s the order of my list that it’s in
It goes: Reggie, Jay-Z, 2Pac and Biggie
André from OutKast, Jada, Kurupt, Nas, and then me
But in this industry I’m the cause of a lot of envy
So when I’m not put on this list, the shit does not offend me
That’s why you see me walk around like nothing’s botherin’ me
Even though half you people got a fuckin’ problem with me
He’ll never be black, or no black pain. He’s a closet racist and his co-sign is meaningless.
Got damn boy how many white boys fucked yo mama???
*Know
Idiot
Nobody in the hood fucks with u wet mayonaise. Fuck outta here pale boy
Fuck the hood the world fucks with him! The hood hasn’t taken care of any artist of any color.
ZERO, They all fell in your mama!!
Excuse me, I totally disagree with Method Man. It was more like Snoop doggy’s lack of respect & I saw exactly how he said it & the tone he used. It was totally disrespectful & Snoop Dogg should’ve apologized the same way he showed him disrespect, although that would take a man that wasn’t jealous & wanted to prove he was a man, sorry & not jealous. Which we all know he will never man this one up. Don’t turn Snoop Doggy’s disrespectful actions around on Eminem, he had nothing to do with it!
