And through these albums, you’ve pretty much kept your delivery the same.  Is this a conscious thing?
It has always has been a Redman thing.  I always wanted to keep that solid core for my fans.  With this new album, Reggie Noble 9 ½, I have Redman sitting back and Reggie is stepping up.  It’s not like I’m trying to get in with the times or trying to make my music fit nobody’s taste.  Redman is its own thing, and Reggie is its own thing.

What’s the difference between Reggie and Redman then?
It’s really the personality difference.  Reggie Noble has certain views on music and is a worldwide musician—which you’ll be able to hear in the new album.  With Redman, I just stick to the normal funny, party shit that the fans seem to love.  So this album is a little different.

Obviously you don’t carry guns everywhere with you, especially with a family and such.  But it’s not all fiction—you smoke weed right?
Everyday!  Every…fucking…day.

Is it ever hard to travel with it and getting in into different cities?
Not at all because fans that want to show me strands from their regions!  Some cats even grow their own shit and want you to try some.  People want to prove that their town has the best weed, so usually finding weed on tour isn’t a problem.  A lot of these people actually go out of their way to give me shit [laughs]!

What’s the best greens you’ve had? Where’d you come across it?
I got plenty of stories about that.  I would first like to shout out Humboldt County, and just Northern California in general!  One time I met these two white girls, who were tight looking too, who happened to be growers.  One was a master grower and one was a trimmer. They was so proud!  Anyways, the trees they gave me were unbelievable. I get a whole lot of weed, but this was special [laughs]!  Y’all want the best weed?  Northern California is where it’s at!
