A truly underrated lyricist who never gets mentioned enough

He was never very prolific, but his pen game never slipped.

People can't handle the real rappers. This is just one of the greatest we still got with us.

[@MarissaOfficial.]

‼️

[@robbiecollier501]

I think he's perfectly rated to be honest. Is flow is outstanding but the actual rhymes and content isn't nearly as deep as some other wu members

[@KD_SWAGGER]

Method Man has always been a solid human being it seems. I've enjoyed his music since day one and I'm happy to see him doing big things on Power.

[@montraedavis2201]

Method man is in the group of men who are aging backwards. Sexy man. Wu Tang is one of the best hip-hop groups ever! Nothing but talented artist in one group! As good as a rapper, he's amazing as an actor. Love him as Davis the lawyer. He's sharp! Can't wait to see what he does next! Congratulations!!

[@kiandraplummer8345]

Agreed, not sure if he is aging backwards but he is definitely aging well ;)

[@daramorgan8524]

And they all don't eat meat. All RZA have them on Vegan diets.

Method Man will always be that guy 🔥😩🤤

[@Grgaforniateezy]

I just went to the Wu Tang Nas concert in Hollywood last October and them dudes killed it. Glad to see them still prospering

Method Man and Redman on a stage is something to watch.... separately or in a collective

[@estelle8415]

[@ulisespalacios151]

Meth is a dope actor. But everytime i hear about him i can't help but to think about how much better he has gotten lyricaly throughout his career up until this point. And this guy hasn't curse on verses for like a decade i'f i'm not mistaken.

[@suthurnfaze1]

Yep!! One of the main thing I love about him and he's still rappin circles around these fools!

[@DanSupra82]

I vaguely remember seeing an interview with him a year or so ago and he talked about Will Smith being labelled a corny rapper for not cussing in his songs throughout his career, and then went on to say that he himself stopped cursing in his tracks about 10 years prior and no-one seemed to notice! Ha!

[@bacup27]

one of the dopest rappers of all time

[@Jasonr2803]

What an incredible journey Meth has had. Absolutely crushing it!

[@dakotac180]

What a fine, talented, busy man. He's been everywhere. Now he has to work with Jodie.

[@phillipayoung10]

Mef, this is just the start!! Keep up rhe good work!! Salute!!

[@hiddeninthebrush]

All I hear when I see Meth and Mary J in that scene is "Your all............I need................."

[@dianehartung5954]

I love Methood man!!!

I love how they glossed over the fact his son's name is Shao Khan lol

Jimmy’s favourite phrases “you’re crushing it/you crushed it” “bud” “that’s how it’s done” “the film is phenomenal” “the best” you gotta love it 😂😂

[@Darlene528]

Power has never been recognized like it should be. It’s disappointing. Curtis is an absolute genius with his ability to create.

[@DanSupra82]

Wu-Tang is the perfect word for a baby's first word(s) as the name itself is a sound I believe. I'm pretty sure the name (which originally came from the 70's Chinese martial arts movies) is actually from the noise a sword makes when it cuts through the air (wu) and the noise it makes when it strikes another sword (tang). Both words being one syllable each. And let's not forget,...Wu-Tang is for the children! lol

[@awjs824]

Everytime I see Method Man, I think of Def Jam : Fight For NY😃

Aw, as a massive fan of Prof and Method Man, I was hoping he would mention Prof on air, since Method Man and Prof just dropped a brand new song together, called Subpar. Still a great interview, though.

[@COMPFUNK2]

It’s about time that rappers realize that they actually do better work in dramas than in stoner comedies.

[@marcusmcgill4423]

About time? He was acting in drama series and movies before he was doing stoner comedies. Movies like One Eight Seven and Cop Land and then shows like Oz and CSI.
