Did you not have cable? It was all over Yo!, Rap City, and The Box. Hell, MTV would play it during Yo!, then again during the Rap Blocks they had through out the day. I couldn't avoid that video if I tried to back then.

How big was "Method Man" When it dropped?

It's one of the biggest fukking tragedies of hiphopAs far as the thing with the flood, wasn't the most or all of the RZA beats set for Decks first album lost then?
I remember hearing this somewhere, and thinking a mid to late 90s Deck album with Ironman/Liquid Swordz level production
would have been

But never seen it...not even once. And the box probably comprised approximately 35% of my TV time as a yungin... might've been a regional thing. I suspect nikkas from my area just never called the joint in...as i said, where i'm from Wu-Tang was just never all that relevant.

I don't know what this dude was doing then (maybe he is the real Tony Tubbs and was still recovering from getting ktfo by Tyson lol)...he must have been in a remote corner in DC to not see the Method Man video and say nikkas wasn't rocking with Wu because I knew people from Morgan State to Howard to Newport News that was on the same Wu train that the rest of the east coast was on

In Wu Tang Clan History only 2 songs charted in the Hot 100.
#1. Cream #60
#2. Method Man #69
From a chart standpoint it's one Wu's most popular singles. The only other Big hit they had was being featured on the SWV remix. Here's a Classic Yo MTV Raps Live performance:

nicka...u talking schoolboys and theo huxtables type nikkas..wasn't nobody up no Simple City or up my Granny's way in KWA rockin' wit no bamma ass WU.
Don't get me wrong...WU & Meth have iconic songs that pretty much everybody's familiar with (cream, how high, mary j joint, killa bees song or whatever its called etc.) THIS isn't one of them though...and Newport News is nowhere near DC...Morgan State & Howard got people from all over the country attending those schools...not an accurate representation of what a DC or Bmore nikka is.

Killa Bees song? lol Maybe your nikkas really were in your own world there in Go Go landnicka...u talking schoolboys and theo huxtables type nikkas..wasn't nobody up no Simple City or up my Granny's way in KWA rockin' wit no bamma ass WU.

But I was in B-more and traveling up and down the east coast during that time because I had fam spread out and I know for a fact Wu was big NY-VA. I'd go to Kings Dominion or Wild World (Six Flags) and Wu-tang is blasting from cars in the summer. I taped songs off the radio, and 93.9 & 95.5 was playing as much Wu as 92Q in Bmore. But if you wanna really say the whole city of DC was anti -Wu then so be it. I wasn't in DC as much as you, but i find it hard to believe all surrounding areas were down but that pocket wasn't
Don't tell me you missed this video too?
The WU were Big compared to WHO?
And i've been all over this region...and it's extremely rare to come across somebody that rocks with WU (who isn't a cac or just straight cornball'd out to the max) that has the WU in their music collection or when engaged in a conversation about music "yeah i fukk with WU" is something that comes out of their mouth... except for a handful of cacs & cornball brothers i knew when i was in the Army.
nikkas gonna tell me about the general musical tastes of nigros in a region i've spent my whole life....
Or course there are small exceptions here & there...but you can't pass that off as the rule...and in general, nikkas in te entire DC metro region is just not rockin' wit WU and never have....outside of cornball bros & cax.

They just weren't relevant down/up here...cope wit it.

You was in the Army in the early-mid 90's? 
It was about as big as 50 Cent "In the Club" when it dropped. It was everywhere on radio and everywhere else. HipHop still wasn't all the way mainstream but it was a beast.
You're from Dallas. Unless you were under a rock in some corny suburb you definitely heard it. Leave the South out of it. I was in the South hearing it in Atlanta, lol. Song was A Mega hit and enabled Meth to be a breakout star.

I know Fam from Charlottesville, Lexington, & Salisbury that loved Wu & said their people were feeling them too. Don't know how close those cities are to you but they said Wu's influence was strong around them.

I already outlined their primary fanbase...which group do ya folks belong to?
Wu in certain parts of Mississippi was "white folks music" until OB4CL dropped.
