Tical 2000: Judgement Day is the second album by American hip hop musician, Method Man, who is a member of the Wu-Tang Clan. It was a commercial hit reaching #2 on the Billboard 200 chart and was certified platinum by RIAA.[1] This commercial success was jolted by its two singles, "Break Ups 2 Make Ups" and "Judgement Day" as well as Method Man's successful debut album. It was only a moderate critical success though which may be attributed to its size (28 tracks) and lack of listenable material (10 interludes including the intro).
It is produced by a plethora of producers, but the bulk of the production is handled by Wu-Tang Clan affiliate True Master which differs it much from the RZA produced Tical. RZA does produced multiple tracks on Method Man's sophomore album, but not enough to take full credit for all of its beats. He is one of the guest performers on this album though along with a long list including Wu-Tang affiliates and members such as Street Life, R&B artists like Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes, comedians like Chris Rock and even Donald Trump himself.
