Tical 0: The Prequel  Hear it Now

RS: 2of 5 Stars

2004

Method Man's extended tenure as hip-hop's Cheech to Redman's Chong has turned him into a leering grotesque of his former menacing self. Tical 0 finds the thirty-four-year-old still stuck spinning doughnuts in a cul-de-sac of blunts. "We Some Dogs," featuring Redman and Snoop, is a funky sure shot surrounded by excessively similar juvenilia. The killer swarm of 1994's Tical and Tical 2000's astro-black ambition aren't anywhere to be seen. Bloated with super-star cameos (Busta, Ludacris, P. Diddy, etc.), Tical 0's only true science is dropped by Black Ice, who on the Meth-less "Ridin for Outro" derides thugs for "bustin' slugs in the name of genocide in disguise." It's a line that must've left the Tical-ion Stallion drooping at the gums.
