Method Man and Redman

It's hard to imagine this pair releasing something that isn't at least a little enjoyable, and this album doesn't disappoint. The best songs on Blackout! 2 have an unhinged quality, a livewire, party-rocking vibe that our men have perfected over the course of their many collaborations. They're both in prime form here, though Redman shines the brightest. There's a spontaneity in his flow, and his references to Atari, Tango and Cash and Rocky are charmingly antiquated.

On their first album in eight years, these How High stars seem every bit the
pleasure-seekers they used to be. With mostly unknown producers delivering unfussy
synth beats, the pair turn in catchy party joints and weed-loving jams like "Dis Iz 4 All My
Smokers," where Redman assures you "we can puff till our voice get lower than Tone-Loc."
