Redman was given some vintage Cheech & Chong rolling papers by Nardwuar, and the two talked about a few ’90s rappers and rap acts, like The Pharcyde, Heather B, and MC Lyte. After that, Nardwuar asked Redman, “What makes a bad show, and how to salvage it?”
“I never really had a bad show, it’s usually a different connection with the promoter and the fans that he attracts,” Redman was deliberate in his response. “When you promote us, you have to promote us a certain way to reach out to those fans that love that underground hip hop. And sometimes, promoters will have just a regular club night, inviting young people through who might now be familiar with the music. Which is cool, but we’d rather rock for our peers and the young folks. So the young people can see the peers of ours rocking in our show.”
“You have to connect with the fans,” he said towards the end. “If you find out that fans aren’t rocking with you, you go harder. You throw water in their f**king face, telling them to wake up. You looking at a legend, you looking at fucking greatness. You looking at a pioneer in the game.”
