Redman and Method Man - Blackout 2

Photobucket

There's something very eerie about the number two. When a second version of something or a sequel to something comes out, it automatically gets the number two added onto it, not only for simplicity, but to piggy back off the name of the first of the series. Whatever the case, sequels rarely enjoy the same fanfare that their originals do. With that being said, I'm happy to announce that Redman and Method Man are dropping the sequel to their collab, Blackout, aptly titled Blackout 2. Now, I'm never one to doubt a rapper, but what have these niggas come out with since the first Blackout? Meth and Red both have two sub-par albums under their belts since 1999 (shit, it's been 10 years?), a failed TV show and have let their limelight hit shade. I guess that's not that bad, but I feel like they have no buzz to go off of besides word of mouth and bloggers like myself. Regardless of their past, Blackout 2 will get a listen when it drops on May 19th. Hopefully Diddy isn't an executive producer this time. In the meantime peep the track list and a sneak peek at their video for "Mrs. International."
