Redman has never been a huge chart-topper when compared to some of his contemporaries, but the Jersey-born rapper has always maintained respect in hip hop circles for his lyrical ability and his consistency as an artist. The rapper recently shared his opinion on the current state of the recording industry and why rappers should get back to focusing on music first and sales later.

"You gotta understand, we're doing a movement," Red said in an interview. "It's not just about record sales. F*ck how many motherf*ckers got the biggest sales and all that. That don't mean sh*t. Motherf*ckers be having high a** sales but not respected in the street, not respected for the culture. It's not about sales no more, it's about a movement. Who's gonna follow that movement? Red and Meth are the smoking movement. Any time we drop an album, y'all should be at the f*cking store, whether you like it or not and buy the f*cking album. December 7th, Reggie."
