So Meth & Red finally return for a sequel to 'Blackout' from ten years ago. First off I'll say I like this a bit more than their debut. I found 'Blackout' to be overall fairly boring musically and I rated it 2.5/5. Method Man & Redman though are always entertaining to listen too with Meth growing on me all the time and Red was one of the first I discovered when I was getting into the genre and has always been a favourite.
I've listened to 'Blackout! 2' a few times and it's one of those I've had differing opinions on with each listen. On the first listen I really enjoyed most of it, the second not so much, the third listen I again enjoyed a fair bit of it and now as I listen to it as I write the review I'm leaning towards not so much. So the rating has differed a couple of times in my head.
There is nothing excellent on this album and if there is something I like to some degree there is an average-poor song afterwards which puts it down. There are plenty of okay-good tunes that I will list below but nothing much to play over and over again which makes an album fairly redundant. If I was rating track for track most would get a two or a three out of five for example.
To summarise I'm still giving this a 3/5 because there are enough tunes I enjoy but overall there ain't nothing brilliant and some filler.
Best Tracks: I'm Dope Nigga, Hey Zulu, City Lights, Mrs. International, Father's Day, Dis Iz 4 All My Smokers.
