Blackout!, but one listen and you'd think it had only been ten days.
Interplay during the intro proves that none of the chemistry is lost." and "The original deserves the top spot, but think of this as the Godfather Part II of reckless boom- bap rap and you've got an idea of how well this Blackout!”Hiphop. DX. com gave the album a 3. Still, Red and Meth clearly made this album for the fans, and the fans should be more or less sated. They may not be as ferocious as they once were, but very few ever have been. So with that in mind, Blackout! Vibe gave a favorable review, stating that: “The middle- aged MCs have forged an album that reflects their belief that skills will always trump bells and whistles. Don’t mistake it for complacency- -blame it on consistency.
BO2 passes the smell test.”Billboard also gave it a favorable review which stated: “This dynamic duo comes off as vital as it has in a decade on the highly anticipated sequel to the pair's 1. Blackout!”IGN. com gave the album an 8/1. For the most part, Blackout!
Nothing amazes or stands out as awful; but Meth & Red fans should be satisfied.”XXL gave the album a mixed review, giving the album a grade of L out of XXL, stating that: “For the majority of Blackout! Meth and Red touch upon the strongest staples of their past work (“Four Minutes to Lock Down,” with Raekwon and Ghostface, is this album’s always reliable Wu- Tang cipher). The uninspired filler that litters this reunion’s latter portion, though, spoils the overall taste.
Those with a hardcore case of the munchies for vintage Meth and Red goodness should feel satisfied. Just expect to be reminded more of past, stronger highs, rather than any lasting, in- the- moment buzz.”Track listing[edit]Samples[edit]BO2 (Intro)A- Yo.
