Read This: Inside Redman’s insane episode of MTV Cribs
MTV Cribs began airing in the year 2000 and has featured tours of hundreds of celebrity homes, yet none have quite measured up to the spectacle put on by rapper Redman in 2001. While most of the episodes highlighted pop stars lavish, often ostentatious living quarters, Redman’s “crib” was just a messy home, closer to the living environment you’d expect out of college kids rather than a successful musician. Some people even thought it was fake.
