(Method Man & Redman album)|Blackout!]]'',<ref>{{cite web |last1=Ducker |first1=Jesse |title=Revisiting Method Man & Redman's 'Blackout' (1999) |url=https://albumism.com/features/method-man-and-redman-blackout-turns-20-anniversary-retrospective |website=Albumism |date=September 27, 2019 |access-date=April 27, 2024}}</ref> a light-hearted, bass-heavy, profanity-laced, party record with an [[EPMD]]-evoking emphasis on funky beats and the mischievous wit and cool flows and good rhythm of the two MCs. The album reached platinum status quickly, both in the U.S. and Canada, fueled by "[[Da Rockwilder]]", "Cereal Killa", "1, 2, 1, 2", "Tear It Off" and "Y.O.U." This album also featured three previously released tracks on which the two collaborated. Their success would lead the duo on to star in movies and TV shows, become product spokespersons and household names, but also associated them with marijuana use in the media. The most immediate results of their success were their co-starring roles in the major motion picture film ''[[How High]]'', their endorsement deal for ''[[Right Guard]]'', Redman's starring role in ''[[Seed of Chucky]]'' and a short-lived sitcom on [[Fox Broadcasting Company|Fox Television]] entitled ''[[Method & Red]]''. In 1999, Method Man featured on [[Limp Bizkit]]'s song "[[N 2 Gether Now]]" from their album ''[[Significant Other (album)|Significant Other]]''. In 2000, Method Man performed Know Your Role which was included on the album titled, [[WWF Aggression]]. The song is focused on the popularity of professional wrestler at the time [[Dwayne Johnson]] whose wrestling name was 'The Rock' and the main line in the song is The Rock's most famous caption "Do you smell what The Rock is cookin'?".
