If we could get meth motivated and linked up with proper production I can't see why he can't have a 2chainz/Juicy J late career resurgence for real. Been saying that for years. Dude didn't look nor seem like the "old guy" at all in those vids

If you're a Hip Hop head and looking at nothing but singles and albums that Meth has released solo... disappointment :patrice:

But there's no doubting that he's an underrated MC off the fact that he doesn't get anywhere near enough credit for his verses, hooks and impact ALONE without ever releasing a classic album. Dude is a cultural icon at this point and he's cemented his place as a legend in my eyes. :yeshrug:

Compared to the buzz he had when he 1st got on yea his career is a disappointment.I Stopped checkin for method man in the late 90's after he dropped that wakk ass mad max of terror dome video

Method Man is basically Snoop of the East.Had a spark when he started and been garbage for like 15-18 years :camby:
fukk outta here. Snoop has dropped good to great albums long after doggystyle. Top dogg, the last meal, blue carpet treatment were all great albums

Tical is one of those albums people just call classic because of the notable shyt that was on it. But if we bein' real about it, half of that album is take or leave status. It's not one of them joints that's revered for being a complete project. It's revered cause "Bring the Pain" is on it, and there's a few other memorable joints. But what about all the aiiiight shyt... u can't give that shyt the same title OB4CL has and have them in the same category, when one is miles ahead of the other. Or line it up with other albums from that year like RTD or Illmatic... shyt is waaay behind. Meth, by his own admission, never delivered THAT album, even with Tical when he was at his most anticipated.

I think as far as MC wise Meth is underrated in that with 21 yrs in the game he still can get busy as shown by every guest appearance he's been on. But as far as discography most would say a disappointment. He is a victim of the big what if not once but twice. The 1st time being when the original more grimey version of TIcal got lost in the flood and they had to redo the album in a short period of time. Now me personally the Tical we have today is a good album its not on the level of the albums that followed it and we know Meth was more capable of what he gave us in that album. He made up for it on T2 it was just overbloated with skits. Now here comes the next mistake.....when it came time to do Tical 0 it was strictly Rza behind the boards so he was gonna bring back that original Tical vibe but what ended up happening he gets PUFFY to executive produce the album (sumthin later on he admits he regretted doin) and the album is complete trash. I think by then most folks started to give up on Meth so when he dropped 4:21 (which was a good album) most didnt care cause by then to them he neva fully showed and proved the ill emcee he was via album

Because Method Man was never that good. He lived off of personality/ aura and flow. Lyrically, he really does not stand out like others in the Wu.
