{"product_id":"method-man-redman-blackout-2-explicit","title":"BLACKOUT 2 (EXPLICIT","description":"Audio Mixers: David \"Gordo\" Strickland; Gimel \"Young Guru\" Katon.\nRecording information: Gilla Studios, New York, NY; IDAP Studios, Oslo, Norway; Music Factory Recording Studio, Hempstead, NY; Starks Studios, New York, NY.\nPhotographer: Craig Wetherby.\nArranger: Reggie Noble.\nIn the decade that separates the original BLACKOUT! and the follow-up, hip-hop as we know it went through a few mutations while Meth and Red have largely stuck to their guns. Longtime fans will be pleased by the same tag-team rhyme chemistry (built on wise-ass pop-culture references, aggressive verbal quips, and a thriving reefer obsession), strong guest spots (from Wu and Def Squad affiliates) and hard-knock East Coast production (thanks to returning producers Erick Sermon, Rockwilder, DJ Scratch, and Mathematics). Still the Blunt Bros aren't impervious to industry trends; Dirty South influences have crept in (see the H-Town flavored \"City Lights\" featuring Bun B), the vocoder talk-box is utilized on occasion, and both MCs are prone to over-pronouncing their R's in country-bumpkin fashion. One listen to the wicked weed anthem, \"Diz iz 4 All My Smokers,\" should put any doubts as to Meth and Red's continued compatibility to rest. Overall, BLACKOUT! 2 is a potent blend of hardcore and commercial that, in many ways, outshines the original.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Pop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 5\/19\/2009\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Method Man \u0026 Redman","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44562662260969,"sku":"E5C8PP-RFZE-00","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/3523\/8633\/files\/Method-Man-Redman-BLACKOUT-2-EXPLICIT_sHBlM_07774436-8183-4e6a-a133-d7236055b4d6.jpg?v=1742354575","url":"https:\/\/www.vibinvinyl.com\/products\/method-man-redman-blackout-2-explicit","provider":"Vibin' Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
