The Commission had a Redman/Method Man video in their Old School Friday post last week. Long story short, I mentioned that Redman is from Newark, and recounted my recollection of Redman's appearance on the MTV show "Cribs". Here's a short clip of that episode that I found at You Tube:
That clip is okay, but it's cut off before it got to the really good parts. If Redman's crib is a bit... underwhelming... you should have seen the part where he finishes going through the stuff in his living room, and turns to point out his "uncle", who is passed out sleeping in a corner. Just sleeping on the carpet, yo!
He then finishes the segment by going through his kitchen, which is barren and devoid of food. His fridge opens up, and it's like straight out of the "Nuthin' But A G-Thang" video... it's just a bunch of forties (St. Ides!) chilling in the fridge.
And my favorite part: He takes the camera crew over to his door, which has a screen door. The screen has a few holes in it. Redman sticks his head through one large hole, his arm through another, and waves bye-bye to the crew as they take off (running, no doubt).
With nothing else to add, here's the two best Redman joints ever... "Tonight's Da Night":
And his verse (his first video appearance, I believe) from the classic "get amped" banger, by EPMD: "The Headbanger":
Warning: Watch that video enough and you might start punching people in the face just for living.

Five Pound Bag: Wow, that might be a record - gone less than 8 hours after I posted a link to it. Anyway, I updated the link with another copy of the same You Tube video. Try it now, hopefully it'll work!
i still snuff grannies and little children whenever 'headbanger' comes on.
does anybody know what the first song is that starts on cribs of redman??
First of all, it's his COUSIN who is knocked out, not his UNCLE.
And second, THEY DON'T SHOW ANY BEER IN THE FRIDGE SO HOW THE FUCK YOU ASSUME IT WAS ALL 40S AND ST IDES, YOU DUMB MOTHERFUCKER????
ALL THEY SHOWED IN THE FRIDGE WAS FROZEN FISH THAT RECOMMENDED FOR BACHELORS.
fucking retarded ass people and their blogs.
What I wanna know is, what was that blue keyboard he had in his studio on top of the mpc?
Hey there, genuinely nice article. Such insighful writing is rare these days. I'll certainly be looking in on this site again in the near future!
One Sunday womens timberland boots morning, I was told that someone was waiting for me in timberland 6 boots office. The young person who answered the rectory timberland boots door said that it was "the woman who said she left all the notes." When I saw her mens timberland boots I was shocked, since I immediately recognized her from church but had no timberland boots outlet idea that it was she who wrote the notes. She was sitting in a chair in timberland roll top boots office with her hands folded in her lap. Her head was bowed and when she raised white timberland boots it to look at me, she could barely smile without pain. Her face was disfigured, and timberland classic boat skin so tight from surgical procedures that smiling or laughing was very difficult for her timberland kids waterproof boots . She had suffered terribly from treatment to remove the growths timberland shoes that had so marred her face. We chatted for a while that Sunday morning and agreed to meet for timberland womens premium boots lunch later that week. As it turned out we went to lunch several timberland boots women times, and she always wore a hat during the meal. I think that treatments of some timberland shoe company sort had caused a lot of her hair to fall out. We shared things about our lives. I told her about my women timberland shoes schooling and growing up. She told me that she had worked for timberland 6 inch years for an insurance company. She never mentioned family, and I did not ask. I have thought about her timberland mens custom often over the years and how she struggled in a society that places an incredible premium on looks, class, wealth and all the other fineries of life. She suffered from a disfigurement that cannot be made to look attractive. I know that her condition black timberland boots hurt her deeply. http://www.timberland6inch.com/
It is a good timberland 6 inch boots thing that the God Who made us is not impatient with people like me with my timberland shoe company orchid. He lovingly thinks about us all the time timberland boots and he even temporarily gave up His heavenly home and his timberland traditional handsewn hold on diety to die for the sins of timberland mens custom world nearly 2,000 years ago. His death back then covered the sins of every cheap timberland boots person who will ever live. He then rose to life after three mens timberland chukka? days and ever since has wanted us to accept His gracious act by loving Him and also those around us. When we do this, we will see people in a totally different timberland womens premium boots light — one that redefines what it means to be ugly or different or weird or strange. Instead, we see people with ugly timberland shoes store problems in whom God is working so they can bloom beautifully — just like I now see in my orchids whether they are “lumps” or blossoms! On a certain timberland work shoes day at a certain hour, we will pull into the station. Bands will be playing and flags waving. Once we get there, so many wonderful dreams will come true and the pieces of our timberland wheat shoes lives will fit together like a completed jigsaw puzzle. How restlessly we pace the aisles, *ing the minutes for timberland for you loitering --waiting, waiting, waiting for the station. http://www.timberland4you.co.uk/
Redman "Cribs" no longer available. :(
But the real best part is after he closes the fridge and says something like "Now it's time to go to the bank" and pulls down a shoebox from the top of the fridge that's got like 2 grand of cash in it.
Second-best "Cribs" moment ever after Ray Lewis: "These is my minks."
