Editorial Reviews

2009 album from the Rap duo. With over 16 years in the business, Redman & Method Man are certifiable Rap superstars with a devoted fan-base that spans the globe. The secret to their longevity as one of Rap's longest lasting duos is due in part to the fact that the two emcees bring fun to Hip Hop. Hardly taking themselves too seriously, Red & Meth have always been about `good times' and carefree humor, as evidenced on their debut album Blackout! (1999) and the follow-up How High Soundtrack (2001). Their comedic personalities allowed them to transition to the big screen in the cult classic film How High (2001) as well as the small screen with the sitcom Method & Red (2004). Online fans are asking when the next Red & Meth album is coming out. Clearly, Hip Hop's counter to guns & gangsterism still has a place in the hearts of fans.

4.0 out of 5 stars Finally Funk Doc & Mr. Mef return, May 22, 2009

Method Man & Redman return after almost 10 years since their last collabo album and 7 ½ years since their "How High Soundtrack" with a very solid 4 star album. After being in the rap game for 16+ years most know what to expect when these 2 get on the mic and when they collaborate on songs. I think this album is a notch aboue the first "Blackout!" album (which I'd also give 4 stars). I do like their solo works better than their collaboration albums, most of their solo's I'd give 4.5 stars. This one has some funnier tracks and some smoking tracks as well as some nice lyrical ones too. Of the 15 songs, 2 are ok and the other 13 are good or real good songs but there is no classics on here. Guests are on 4 songs rapping and doing the chorus on 4 others. Production is solid as well. Rockwilder & Erick Sermon each do 2 songs, Bink One!, King David, Havoc, Pete Rock, Swiff D, Nasty Kutt, Ty Fyffe, and Buckwild all do 1 song. A nice album to have from 2 hip-hop veterans.

This review is from: Blackout 2 (Audio CD)

I absolutely positively loved it. Its the second BO2 that I purchased because the cd was so tight that I let somebody borrowed it, and never got it back. But I couldnt have Blackout without having Blackout 2. BO2 has the same dank chamber music sound as it predecesor, it's just an extention. Their is no new flavor that anybody adds to the mix. But if you are already a Mef&Red fan, this is perfect for you because you get exactly what you expected. Both of their wordplay is quick-witted,clever, sharp as the WUTANG sword! Fellow Clansmen Ghostface Killah, and Streetlife returns for the sequel. Raekwon the Chefis also featured.Eric Sermon,and Keith Murray from the Def Squad also make guest appearances. Also Bun B from UGK appeares on "City lights" an ode to the late great Pimp C.GillaHouse emcee Ready Roc is also featured on the album.If you loved Blackout Then I highly recommend Blackout 2. Wutang fans will love this cd trust and believe it's one of my favorite Mef cds.
