5 favorite songs- Bring The Pain, Meth vs. Chef, Stimulation, Mr. Sandman, and What The Blood Clot
I always thought this was an excellent album, and to this day it still receives mixed feedback (too long, a step down from "Tical", etc). I feel it still holds up today. Not a classic, but definitely worthwhile.
Rating- 4 stars
5 favorite songs- Perfect World, Dangerous Grounds, Killin Fields, Spazzola, and Party Crasher
Next PLEASE. With all due respect to Meth, I have NO words for this album.
Now, back to the excellence with this album. Top to bottom, this is Meth's most underrated album, one of the best albums released in 2006 and it was definitely slept on unfortunately. He sounded inspired and hungry on this album, which was a COMPLETE step up from the 3rd album.
Rating- 4 stars
5 favorite songs- Is It Me, Presidential MC, The Glide, Somebody Done F***** Up, and Walk On
And now for the albums with Redman....
Since 1995's "How High" classic single, I had been waiting for an album from these two and I was happy when I heard it was coming out. Red and Meth have such GREAT chemistry together and it's still present today. This album essentially had IT, which would be TIGHT beats and rhymes. Still holds up today? Yes indeed!!!!!
Rating- 4.5 stars (this MAY change)
5 favorite songs- Da Rockwilder, Blackout, Y.O.U., Run 4 Cover, and We All Rite Cha
This was a direct quote from Meth in a recent interview when discussing this album:
"A lot of people slept on that Blackout 2. Blackout 2 was dope. I don't give a f***. I did my thing on that album...Honestly, I would put that album up against any album that came out that year (2009)."
I agree 100 percent with that statement. Meth (and Red) were still lyrically on point with Blackout 2 and I feel it's an excellent album. It definitely was slept on when it came out in 2009 and it's underrated as hell. It still get spins from me though!
Rating- 4 stars
5 favorite songs- I'm Dope N****, A-Yo, Mrs. International, Four Minutes to Lock Down, and City Lights
In that same interview, he mentioned that he's working on his 5th album "Crystal Meth" and he plans to link back up with RZA again, plus he and Red will be working on "Blackout 3" (Red is also working on "Muddy Waters 2"), and as a fan, ALL of this is GOOD news most definitely and I'm anticipating it all. Meth will do down as one of the greats, and if he doesn't make anyone's list for one of the greatest of all time, he HAS to make the top 5 for best flow!
