Tommy,
I feel the tracks should have substance. Regardless of who they are, their early works show that they can hold down a concept like no other. Look at the entire Supaman Luva Series. Method Man even more recently dropped “Say” and it was a beautiful cut. I think on this album Redman easily outshined Meth.. I found Meth really lacking and slacking on many tracks. As i said, I found that he was bored or at least uninterested. Blackout (the track is a GREAT example)

Tuche,
Madvilliany is certainly up there, It might be a part of some Duo Review pool I put it

Dope review! I feel it even the more because I’ve always been skeptical of it myself, not just myself, but the fact of these two doing something together; given that they’re like the Cheech and Chong of rap, you can’t expect a single song that might have any depth to it, it’s all going to be punchlines. And although you say that Meth seems to rely on it exclusively, I think that the same can be said about Reggie; actually I think I’ve heard Meth more often trying to say something meaningful than Red, but the difference is Red can tell a story much better: you could listen to him without end and not stop laughing or being schocked.

Without any surprise, the production on this reflects that monotony: I personally felt that the beats very boring, regardless of their undeniable thump, but maybe I’d have to listen to it after all these years…
