[edit] Background
While putting the finishing touches on Snoop Dogg’s acclaimed Ego Trippin album in early 2008, DJ Quik had an idea. The rapper-producer-musician-entrepreneur wanted to do a full-length album with Kurupt, the Dogg Pound member and Snoop Dogg affiliated-rapper he’d known since Death Row Records’ mid-1990s heyday and had worked with sparingly over years. The inspiritation for the name of the album was taken from the Method Man & Redman collaborational albums Blackout! and Blackout! 2 since this was indeed a collaboration album. It was modified to include the letter Q to represent DJ Quik and the letter K to represent Kurupt.
