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.

Method Man & Redman return after almost 10 years since their last collabo album and 7 ˝ 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.

When Method Man and Redman first collaborated on the classic weed anthem "How High" in 1995, there was an unmistakable chemistry between the two. After a couple of appearances on each other's albums in the late 90's, people were demanding a full record from them. The end result was their debut album as a duo- 1999's "Blackout!". The album was rather successful and cemented them as the heir apparent to another marijuana centered duo Cheech & Chong. Two years later, they filmed the stoner comedy "How High", which was directed by Bob Dylan's son Jesse Dylan ("American Wedding", "Kicking And Screaming"). After that film, they returned to their day jobs as both solo artists as well as members of groups- Method Man from Wu-Tang Clan and Redman from Def Squad. A decade would pass before anyone heard anything from the duo until 2009, when Method Man and Redman would release the long awaited follow up sophomore album "Blackout! 2".
On this new album, there are the returns of producers from the first album. Erick Sermon produces the songs "Dangerus MCees" and "Neva Herd Dis B4", while Rockwilder handles "Hey Zulu" and "A Lil' Bit". Pete Rock produces the first single "A Yo", while Havoc of the group Mobb Deep gets behind the boards on "I'm Dope"- a track in which the duo compares their music to a drug addiction. They duet with Raekwon and Ghostface Killah on "Four Minutes To Lock Down", Keith Murray on "Errbody Scream" and Bun B on "City Lights". They get surprisingly romantic on the melodic "Mrs. International", in which they seduce a non-American woman. Lastly, a Method Man and Redman album wouldn't be complete without a weed anthem, and in this case it's the track "Dis Iz 4 All My Smokers". While Method Man and Redman show that they haven't lost their sense of humor, this album is good but suffers from weak production on a few songs. Much of that having to do with them trying to keep up with the times- something they really didn't need to do. For the most part, "Blackout! 2" is listenable, but seems to cater to the pop crowd as opposed to the hip hop crowd on a few occasions. Still in all, it's nice to have them back after a long hiatus.

Got it for $6 (used) and feel ripped off
There's maybe two or three tracks that I genuinely like. There's also maybe two or three tracks that are "tolerable". The rest...pretty bad. Read more
