Newark legend and notably Eminem's favorite rapper, Redman sits on the Vlad Couch to discuss everything from his start in rap and his storied history in the game from touring with EPMD to being on Def Jam's roster during its heyday.

Redman speaks on what it was like growing up in Jersey, and how getting kicked out by his mother for selling drugs led him to take rap seriously. During the start of his career, he lived with Erick Sermon and talks all the trouble they got into back in the day. The weed aficionado also discusses how Cypress Hill was and has been a major influence on his music. He also shares some stories on notable rap beefs between LL Cool J and Canibus, and his own with MC Hammer.

Going further into the conversation Red talks dropping his debut album, what it was like being signed to Def Jam, what it means to be loved by Eminem and what he has going on right now.

  • Respect. This is a living legend and I'm so grateful to have grown up in the 90's. Truly blessed to have witnessed so much talent

    Redman is just one of those guys that he looks like fun and trouble at the same time. Ha. He's a very likable guy. His smile is mischievous. He has a lot of layers: he's hip hop, street, ghetto, vulgar, trouble, funny, crazy, weed head, and most of all a talented brotha and a hip hop legend. Thanks Red 4 a detailed interview on your career.
  • My favourite rapper of all time. He had me at "Whut...Thee Album" and then, when I thought he was untouchable, doubled down with "Dare Iz A Darkside" which was even better. Then, album three "muddy Waters" drops and it is EVEN BETTER AGAIN lol Redman albums were an event. Much love to Red and the entire Def Squad fam xxx
  • The G.O.A.T.!!!! First four albums are timeless material. Redman is the reason I wanted to start rhyming when I was a kid.
  • @zero1fifty8

    Redman is definitely a legend! No one sounds like him he's dope. I remember when he first came out. Everywhere you went you would here his music bumping from somebody's house or car speakers.

  • @ericm2500
    This one of the best interviews I’ve watched because redman just tells you a story and you feel like you were there with him and he just honest and talks about every subject you ask him. Hard to find a interview like this now
