Remembering Redman on MTV Cribs

I recently rediscovered the Holy Grail of celebrity showcase shows: MTV Cribs 2001 episode with rapper Redman. Redman has always been a favorite of mine and this show was a great reason why. It was funny and dirty and raw, far different from the extravagant displays of wealth other MTV celebrities had on Cribs.

Redman's place looked more like my own and still does than any million dollar mansion. Living below your means keeps you hungry. Living well should be a reward for hard work, but if you aren't where you want to be, keep that cheap place with no screen in the door and a box full of dollar bills atop the fridge.
