Well...

I haven’t bothered on this topic for a while because it went how I suspected...not great

There’s a lot of excuses made for him but the truth is it’s one thing to put words together and it’s another thing to make music people gravitate to.

I think honestly people still bring his name up because people are still amazed how a guy who garnered so much female intodidnt amount to much. Usually guys have to work hard for that

Method Man vs. Dave East is a case study imo.

No homo but Method Man -in his prime is looks wise (to heterosexual women; especially facially ) is similar to Dave East.
But Meth in his prime was a little more lyrically skilled and versatile lyrically content wise.

Although Dave is a more than competent Rapper.

Also Dave East only nominally down plays ir deemohasize his modelesqe looks.

Method Man intentionally made him self "unpretty" in terms of style choices and grooming. That helpied increase his appeal to make consumers and listeners.
While being simultaneously still attractive enough to women.

Method Man walked he tight rope perfecty of sex appeal to femakjez and thw rugged bad ass persona lyrical true to the craft lyrical rapper, that apoeal s to male listeners.

Survival, P2, and Beloved should end any talk about him not being able to make good albums. His problem is he’s basically stuck between appealing to the old guard while still wanting to break out into the mainstream. At this point, may as well dive completely into the sex symbol lane and get his Nelly/LL on.

Lol literally

He would gain a million dikkriders after that it’s sad how this rap shyt works

but the problem he's not a hit songwriter.. but that's okay at the end of the day.. he has the respect amongst his peers.. he doesn't need commercial success to validate him
