Always appreciate the extra rich hip hop history that gets dropped during these interviews. For those who grew up with the music, it adds extra context and nuance like the liner notes did when the albums dropped back in the 80s, 90s ...before the digital releases.

[@SF_Native]

Meth is such a great interview no matter where who who does it, because of his personality. He's not boastful, he just a cool ass dude. Respect. I also love that he's a big comic book nerd, let's go!

[@ruggedroots1]

Kudos to Meth challenging himself to no longer curse in his rhymes. Nothing wrong with cursing. But too many people out here in the streets still using motherfucker as a noun, verb and adjective. Smh. Pick up a thesaurus . It will help.

[@mathewmartinez9631]

Have u heard how many times he cursed in this interview?

[@ruggedroots1]

@@mathewmartinez9631 he's talking about in his music not how he speak in general. I clearly said in the comments he no longer curse in his rhymes. Wtf

[@Zariyah_Nicole]

Especially if they knew the origin of the word, and how it came about. It will make a lot of black people refrain from using the word “ mf”. I say a lot, because there are just some who don’t care about history.

@@ruggedroots1 as an artist as well, bro i couldnt agree with you more bro. im trying myself to stop cursin so much in rhymes that shit is not easy i tell you that bro. that shit forces u to be better with your word play & your delivery, and it also forces u to be clever with your punch lines all that shit bro no cap

[@Nelley_Nell_507]

He had no idea that girls, like me, loved Method Man! I had his 19 yr old self on my wall when I was 13. I fell in love with WuTang when 36 chambers dropped. Method is like my Michael Jackson of rap. He has no choice but to embrace the sex symbol status. He is who he is and he can’t change anyone’s opinion or vision of him. He’s a real dude. From how he looks to how he speaks. No doubt! Much respect and love to him!

[@jessieha5073]

The value of putting these videos in chapters…OMG…thank you so much. I love hearing any stories about DMX! RIP to dude…🙏🏽

[@terryd2188]

I had the chance to hang out with The Clan in 97 when they came to HI. They were all real cool and still hood. Meth stood on some speakers in the club and rock the club. They performed for 3hrs straight. They shot the It's Yours video in HI.

[@markdixon3776]

Meth has always been able to stand amongst the best emcees. I am a self-ordained Wu head and it's Meth who introduced me to the rest of the clan. While I was bidding upstate I got a chance to holler at him on the jack by my sun Un (Mickey Mirrors). Meth shouted me out and told me to "hold my head." When Meth and Math spoke about their ecstasy escapades, I was dying laughing, because I can relate. That come-down the next morning will have you cussing out the same people you were just adoring hours earlier. Once again, thanx for the interview Math.

[@midwestdolo818]

Real talk as a writer taking curse words out of your lyrics does improve in a weird way because you think that cursing gives lyrics and additional impact you want the user to feel but you realize you can have the same impact without it if you choose your words correctly

Love when Method talks about DMX, wish he would do it more

[@Dnic84]

Meth was just jotting and still had timeless classics, and just when you think there’s not another level, boom, he is present in mind body and health and giving us insanely next level stuff.

“Choice is an illusion, given to those without power by those with power.”

No choice is normality we make choices everyday on shoes clothes houses cars that has nothing to do with anybody but yourself. And the people with power are living an illusion. There's only on power GOD. Everybody else be delusional cause they have no power all power comes from GOD. The power you talking about is Satan given false power but it's an illusion it's reality it's called hate

When Meth performed one of his oldest songs off that tape, I was just in Awe he could memorize that..Hip hop is missing the passion he has for this genre.

This whole generation is garbage y'all scared to say it. They on some white nerdy shyt hiding behind they fears cause they can't rap. And y'all buying into it. That's like believing women will start telling the truth it's won't happen. These new rappers unconscious and these white people want every black person unconscious.so we can't see the game. You see how the game change. They trying to make wrong right. And make hate love because of these low energy rappers with no life or heart in them. Peep game. This is really going on. It's no joke. If you stand for nothing you fall for everything. See now how everybody falling for everything. See how women get fake this and that like rock star women see how black male wearing small clothes and doing pills like them rock bands people.and wearing tattoos in they face like rock band. That's not black people. That's just not us. And blacks lying to themselves acting like that us they took on rock band identify being delusional acting strange weird sex just like a rock band artist. Tell me when blacks hood dudes start dressing and acting white. Our black race is tripping that's ain't us and we lying to ourselves. GOD see all and the money is covering it all up. But deep down these kids suffering and rapping in fear. Just look at lil Wayne does he look normal. No

Shout outs from Poland! Dope content and concept word!

[@smokelandflavors8745]

In regard to subgenres in hip-hop I look at something like electronic music. You have house, techno, funk, dancehall, dubstep and so many more subgenres of a general style of music that has fewer layers than hip-hop music so I do believe hip-hop has to be looked at as having subgenres when it comes to acknowledging styles all the way from communicating identity and musical preference all the way up to award shows. Just my two cents, much love to Math and his squad for these deep conversations. 💪
