Redman & Method Man - How High

From the 1995 Soundtrack to "The Show".....
Method Man & Redman, also known as Red & Meth, Doc & Meth or Mr. Meth and Funk Doc, Tical & Funk Doc are a hip hop duo, consisting of rap superstars Method Man (of Wu-Tang Clan) and Redman (of Def Squad). The duo, who were both signed to Def Jam records, met in 1993 at an industry party. In November 1994 Def jam released Redman's sophomore album Dare Iz A Dark Side as well as Method Man's Tical (his first album). Both records were advertised through a promotional campaign dubbed "month of the man", playing off the similarities they both shared, like their raw east coast styled music and the the constant marijuana references, to name a few. During the promotional tour, the two bonded while traveling through the country in a van to play at various venues. It is during this run that they penned "How High", their very first collaboration that would later end up on the soundtrack of a documentary named "The Show". Many collaborations followed, as they have collaborated on pretty much every one of their respective solo albums. After much anticipation, their full length collaborative LP "Blackout" was released in September 1999, with sales of over one million. In 2001, Method Man and Redman starred in the stoner comedy "How High", named after the 1995 hit. A sitcom named Method & Red featured the two rappers as nouveau riches moving in an affluent suburb. It aired on Fox in 2003 but was short lived due to creative differences. A 10 years reunion sequel, Blackout! 2 was released in 2009.

Best collab by two artist ever in HIP HOP HISTORY

[@augustknight3483]

I first heard this joint in the middle of summer, '95. It was 90 degrees in Manhattan. I was on vacation in N.Y. I went crazy when I heard this on the radio in our hotel room. I was 15yrs old at the time. Soon as I got back home from vacation, I ran to the local record store and bought the maxi single. I still have it til this day!

[@nickolasecker9596]

I wish I could have heard this track in its era at that exact point in time. The beat would be perfect for wandering Manhattan.

[@pmproben]

[@VinDieselXXX]

1995 i was 10 years old......I remember hearing this riding across the 145th Street Bridge in moms 1993 Ford Taurus Wagon. And also its a bad memory from high school...year: 2002. i got jumped and robbed for my Enyce shirt which had matched my brand new Air Jordan 17s (they didn't take those because they probably already robbed someone else for em because they had the same jordans on too). So after I ran home half naked I watched 106th and park and if im not mistaken there was a show afterwards that would play older rap videos. I remember hearing this and also nas street dreams.
