Am I the only one who thinks Redman and Method Man **** on each others careers

[DoomzdayzV]

Whut, Tical, and Dare Iz A Darkside are beautiful, dark, artistic albums. When they blew up as a duo.....they got on that corny weedhead bullshyt. Blackout was wack as fukk to me...n then after that it was How High the movie and The Red n Meth Show on Fox

I will always wonder if the weedhead bullshyt killed the chances of them dropping a couple more classic solos.

Blackout was wack?

Slap ya self and go to sleep for saying wack in the same sentance as meth and red..

SMH @ Blackout being a wack album, fukk outta here lil' homey.

 

[DoomzdayzV]

sorry yall....blackout was asscrack compared to their early solo shyt.

edit: in 2012, im sure Blackout sounds great. But in 99...considering all the dope shyt that dropped in 98, it sounded stale and goofy.

i wasn't crazy about blackout either. a handful of bangers but i agree they got kinda campy when paired up.

 

[Lord Piffington]

disagrees with you

the anticipated debut project that never surfaced..Month of the Man!!

Times changed...

Red wasn't into the dark sh*t anymore, and honestly Meth was too charismatic to really be that type of rapper in the first place. Hell, the song that blew Meth up was a considerably goofy song (compared to the Wu's darker stuff).

If anything, I can say I wish Meth and Red had done an album during that era, to hear how ill that woulda been. But by '99, they (and rap) had moved past that. Blackout wasn't wack, but I will say that a LOT of shyt they did post-Blackout was. It definitely got a lil' too campy, and at one point it seemed like they were a comedy act that just happened to rap- like a more lyrical Ed Lover & Dr. Dre or some shyt.

That Meth & Red TV show

I think both killed each others work ethic

Month of the Man was just a promo thing... wasn't a project.

It was promo for November '94 when Meth dropped Tical and Red dropped Darkside... they were doing shows together and all that. Actually that's how they became tight and started workin' together.

It was kinda lateral that they didn't build off "How High" after that dropped in '95 tho'. After that, Def Jam shoulda been on their ass to do a project.

I've been saying the same thing for a minute....They both went from grimey looking hoodlums to weedhead characters. I still say Redman had the bigger influence over Meth....Its like Meth became Reds lil homie.......But in all honesty....when Meth came out people were always saying that him and Red should pair up.....They did it and they been together ever since. Red and Meth are one of the best pair ups in hip hop history. The only beef with the 1st Blackout album was that it was too much of an Eric Sermon sound and not enough Rza/wu appeal.

i always thought red as meth's little homie
