I want to be behind the scenes, and learn more. What cameras to use, what lenses to use, what shots I want to get. And it takes time, so being on movies and sets, I just learn.
— Redman
I'm an artist, not a rapper... so my musical genres and library is way beyond the normal rapper.
I can promise my fans what you see from me is what you get! No additives, no preservatives.
People should just recognize entertainment for entertainment.
The whole 'Muddy Waters' title is not about things look or how deep it can get or it can be. It's just the slouchiness of the album.
J. Cole is hot. He's different.
I'm not lookin' to go platinum or triple platinum.
Not every entertainer's living lavish.
I don't need a lot and I don't expect a lot.
When I appeared in EPMD's 'Hardcore' song and video that was just crazy. Def Jam had these little virals back then on VHS tape. Q-Tip was another very important person to my career. He had me in A Tribe Called Quest's 'Scenario' video when I was first coming out.
I like staying in the hood.
Those who preach in rap, don't make no money.
We can't just depend on this rap game.
Our career wasn't built on putting out hot singles.
I liked the 'Other Guys' movie.
I swear, I have not played 'Dare Iz A Darkside' damn near since I did it. Seriously!
You know, if an actor or, say, a basketball player writes a rhyme, it doesn't mean he's a rapper. You got to put in time. I don't say I'm an actor.
I just use every experience I go through as a learning experience so I can better myself and get in position on what I want to do.
When you leave New York and go to other places, you appreciate it more when you get back.
There's no difference between rocking in front of a crowd or rocking in front of a camera.
I am the 11th member of Wu.
Success happened real quick, so I was just all over the place and damn near lost my mind on the second album.
The difference between Reggie Noble and Redman is that this 'Reggie Noble' album is more conceptual. It got concepts on it, it got auto-tune on it, it got a pop record on it. I had fun on it.
I'm just tryin' to do get-on-the-road music so I can go on tour.
I never looked out for MTV... I just looked for the approval of the streets... The streets will always let you know.
I'm a simple man with very simple tastes and low standards.
Being from the same umbrella as Jay-Z, I'm not political, but I'm sure whatever he's going to do with the NFL, he's going to branch out and open more doors for other players and for us to get a better understanding of the NFL.
I tried moving to the more white area, but I found that every night I was getting harassed by police.
Negativity lives in rap. That's what it's built on. That's where the money circulates and generates from - negativity.
If major radio will have me, cool.
Our career was based on energy and putting out a hot album.
I'm not really trying to get in the acting field that hard. I'm trying to really be behind the scenes and direct and produce.
I like Kendrick as an artist. He's witty and he's smart when he's spitting in his lyrics. And he's crafty.
I love video editing.
I'm always ready to venture into new music.
Music is the outlet to bigger and better business; that's what I'm excited about.
If a hip-hop artist can get on stage and entertain an arena full of 30,000 people and keep their attention for 45 minutes, imagine that on a big screen.
I am a Wu-Tang member and Method Man, he been a Def Squad member way before I was a Wu member. I was like a Wu member but I wasn't official.
I highly respect Eminem. I rank him up there with Jay Z, Biggie and Nas.
Every album I just try to step it up. I don't try to overdo myself, overpower myself.
I always try and think about what the 'hood would say when I do things.
Maybe the level of people you attract is what you supposed to attract. Maybe the few people I attract are the ones who know what the real is... There's that connection. That's what I put into my music.
Now when I first heard EPMD's first joint 'You Gots to Chill' and later 'So Whatcha Sayin'?' I said, 'I can do this!'
I wouldn't know what to do with a big house.
My father took me to buy fireworks, and now I'm doing it for my kids.
We need to support the people who are making real hip-hop.
I'm going to stick to college radio, like I been started off, like I started off with in the day.
The rock-band crowd is so different from any other crowd. Because when they are there to see they band, they there to see they band.
Well if you from New Jersey, you always knew that going to Jersey Shore was way different from where you lived at. I live in Newark, and that is 150 percent opposite of Jersey Shore.
I'm my own label.
