RR’s ’09 Underrated Albums: #3 Method Man & Redman “Blackout! 2”

As much as I enjoy the Reggie Noble and Clifford Smith chemistry, I must admit I had zero expectation that a reunion album ten years later would be something I would enjoy. But thankfully I was wrong. Rae wasn’t the only Clansman who made a comeback in the final year of the decade, as Meth sounds rejuvenated paired with a rhyme partner who still got sword-sharp metaphors. A potent playlist can be easily be formulated from the soaring intro (“BO2”); formidable first single (“A-Yo”); UGK collab crunch (“City Lights”); ladies friendly ode (“Mrs. International”) and a pro-weed puff-fest (“Diz Iz 4 All My Smokers”). Smoke something bitch and revisit this.

    This album was hella disappointing. This should’ve been “RR’s ‘09 Disappointing Albums: #3”. Yeah the tracks YN mentions were dope but the rest was borderline garbage. The inclusion of a few bangers isn’t enough to call it a dope album. Shit needs to be cohesive. The first blackout was and still is one of the best examples of 2 rappers with different styles coming together to create a dope ass album. I bump that shit to this day. Lyrics and production were bith on point. on the other hand Blackout II was hit and miss. it’s a shame cause i DID expect them even after ten years to come up with some dope shit. especially after both emcees released wack solo albums. Tical II Red Gone Wild, need I say more?

    * I meant Tical 0. Tical II was dope as fuck
