Method Man

[Stranger Than Paradise]

Been listening to his stuff a lot lately. Firstly I think his voice is sick for hip hop and his delivery is great. What do people think about him?

I started listening to him again after seeing Wu Tang Clan a few nights ago. You're definitely right about his voice. Great stuff.

His other songs don't have Limp Bizkit, don't worry.

Wow you say Wu Tang. Shit, that's sick.

Yeah they were great. One of the best shows I've been to.

[Manic Impressive]

For me there is pre-gravel pit Wu Tang who were amazing and there is post-gravel pit Wu Tang who are shit. Their recent stuff is just bland middle of the road pop shit.

Although Method Man was good in the wire

Wu-Tang was my first concert. 2004, I was 13. It was the first Wu concert in Holland since ODB died.

Terrible concert though. Only 4 members were present, the sound quality was bad and people who smoked too much weed puked over everything.

Wu tang is the best hip hop group ever. And Method Mans a great dude. The delivery is unmatched. I was listening to some album he did with Redman the other night, gotta be one of the better albums Ive heard in a while

[ed miliband]

I like Wu (GZA and Ghostface in particular) but I don't get their popularity; I have friends who aren't into hip hop at all and yet profess to liking Wu Tang.

It's the same with folks like Johnny Cash. Some artists have universal appeal for no apparent reason.

Yeahm fors reals. Wu Tang is soo diversified with their music though, you can find at least one wu tang rapper and like him.

Method man is the shit though. Him ODB, GZA(I like his pro tools album) and ghostface are my tops.

Listen to this one :)

_-jF4fbuoCE
Took her off the showroom floor, no money down
Near the Chrysler Building, the heart of Midtown
Two hundred horsepower under the hood
Junk in the trunk, that be far from damaged goods
Designer frames, the windshield's stay tinted
The most beautiful thing someone invented
A Wrangler had a sticker on the bumper
A sign in case tow trucks tried to dump her
Rear view mirror, that of Serena Williams
Staring with the crime and the look to kill 'em
Brushless showers and the Brazilian wax
Cash in the glove department, freeze from tax
Low mileage, on the odometer
A graduate, with more degrees than a thermometer
Spark plugs for great conversation
She would Focus on the finish line and destination
Steering in the right direction, made sure
I wore a seatbelt, and had airbags for protection
In her tank, she love to stash my tool
I kept it full, super unloaded fuel
She had a room full of skirts and rims
The old ones, used to swing off ropes, that often hung from limbs
A temp at the Ford Modeling Agency
Suburban area, where the Caucasians be
Her great grandfather was a Cherokee Indian
Exploring Navigator, traveling then begin
Sharpening his arrows on Plymouth Rock, commanding chief
Who weighs cattle, only selling the livestock
King of the Frontier, rider of thoroughbreds
He was just as sharp as a needle without thread
Legend in truth, but known to run the herds
His sons were Oldsmobiles who drink Thunderbird
Land Cruisers sitting on fertile soil
With equipment that ran off expensive oil
Folks bragging, said a horse pulled the Volkswagen
They love Mustang Sally and lolly gagging
Fished in Lake Tahoe, cooking Barracuda's
Hundred Impala's with the six shooters
From a long range with the dog Rover
It was something else to see him out and over
Some got caught in the Crossfire, a bunch of rabbits
Indicating these dudes should retire
One was oddball, rocking a sunroof
A gas guzzler, in his grill was one tooth
A strong Accent and a beard like Lincoln
Who hated the Golf course, but he love drinking
Avenger, used to pick up chicks
He had Magnums, that was laying tough but thick
Wore a Blazer, and where he used to hide the ruger
For encounters with the Jaguars and Cougars
A veteran move and salute, sing the anthem
In Accord with the plan, he was a Phantom

[ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/0-finance-lyrics-gza.html ]

He had a fat lady, they called Hummer
And um, she needed bodywork for the whole summer
She had a few friends, who used to stay in the pound
Abandoned parking lots and junkyard down
Regulars in rest areas and truck stops
Cassette player, known to make the tape pop
Gold diggers, who wanted cream like well's Fargo
In Vegas, they circle around a Montecarlo
You know the snakes with the fangs of Vipers
Bloodsuckers, who will use the piss from hiking
Met the Cavaliers at the Outback Steakhouse
Chicken cutlet supreme, just for takeout
One of them was forced to live in Astoria
Cuz at the auction they had Crown Victoria
Since then, her friends charged with battery
Had her running off the sweets flattery
She kept a loud muffler, couldn't trust her
Police used to always pull over his duster
A pothead, who some called the Firebird
A foul mouth who could of used wiser words
Her man used to hustle and ran the crack corner
So insecure, he kept Low Jack on her
Peeping with his visors low, high beaming
Temper would accelerate, private eyes scheming
He would check his console for rubber
She would pass the inspection with flying colors
She would turn left, if he said right
On a cycle, he would often run a red light
His voice Echoed if she Dodged a Convoy
A previous owner, all he did was bone her
Some drove her crazy, she was just a loner
He had a leaking transmission fluid
Said it was an accident, didn't mean to do it
No insurance, but a grill to cage
She sobbed uncontrollably and still stayed
Another total Eclipse for the heart
Like the freezing weather that never gave her a start
Plus, he had a Sidekick in his garage
And if he needed a Boost, she would give him a charge
He was sentence for running an Escort service
Escaped from prison but made a few nervous
His baby mother and wife, the BMW
Number one on her list, who he brought trouble to
She done everything to regain her Liberty
Tried to be Audi, but went into delivery
Moved to Aspen, survived the Avalanche
A different Element, inside a cattle ranch
Far away when she changed the pattern
The distance was light from Mercury to Saturn

Shit, I had blocked out Limp Bizkit and now I've been reminded that they really did exist - shit!

But seriously, I like Mr. Meth and most of the OG Wu people. The Wu-Tang Clan are a good example of why leftists shouldn't only listen to music that jells with us politically - ODB has some repugnant lyrics but with a good RZA track behind him, I can let it go as merely shock-lyrics.

Oooohh, the 90s! So much good drugs and hip hop, so much passing out and throwing up (not sure of the order) at Outkast shows. :D


I like Wu (GZA and Ghostface in particular) but I don't get their popularity; I have friends who aren't into hip hop at all and yet profess to liking Wu Tang.Yeah I've noticed that too and all I can think from my view was that as someone who mostly listened to Punk rock when I first started getting into music, the hip-hop that aesthetically appealed to me in the 90s was Prince Paul and RZA produced music (though not Gravediggaz all that much funny enough) because the tracks were so dirty-sounding (not so much early Prince Paul - De La stuff) and samples so lo-fi. The beats were kind of "classic-rock" sounding too, so maybe that's some of the reason metal people and rock people who don't like hip-hop still liked early Wu.

[Stranger Than Paradise]

Just listened to the track Method Man on Enter the Wu Tang. He just kicks off, it's pretty sick.

[blake 3:17]

I love him. His first album Tical, was soooooooooooooo effin out there when it came out. I heard it on the radio and thought the radio was broken. The 4:21 (The Day After) is pretty good.

yeahh
whys everyone hating on limp, they were the best

[Jimmie Higgins]

yeahh
whys everyone hating on limp, they were the bestAre you joking, I can't tell. I don't know what it was like in the UK at the time, but when MTV was heavily promoting that band, you could easily spot anyone who was an asshole because every frat-boy in America started dressing like the guy from Limp Bizkit.

Also I kind of resent that band because at that time hip-hop was really becoming dominant and taking over MTV. I feel like some bands like Limp Bizkit got their start in a board room somewhere with CEOs saying, well we need to stay cutting edge and relevant, but we can't sell this black music to some white suburbanites. Can we find a white rapper with a little more suburban or even white southern appeal... enter Limp Bizkit and Kid Rock.

But this is just my paranoia that I use to explain why I hated all rock music from 1997-2007. It's all a conspiracy!:confused:

Wow though.... FUCK Method Man now...I had some respect for him til now.

And if people wanna know why this type of thinking from artists is dangerous.... then look at this. http://www.wutang-corp.com/forum/showthread.php?t=35233

oh god dammit

[apawllo]

best rappers in the wu are gza, inspectah deck, and ghostface imo. if a bunch of rza's beats hadn't gotten destroyed in that basement flood, inspectah deck would more than likely have one of the wu's best first generation albums

What is the virtue of being 'gangsta' anyway?

I been following Wu from the get go -- it's kind of amazing that Ghostface has emerged as the most consistent and best MC of the bunch. Fishscales blows my brains out.
