Method Man had potential to be a top 10 rapper what happened?

[MartyMcFly]

9/10 people I know started with Method Man then got to know Wu

Oh he was the gateway breh...always felt like a weird cat and meth became a kindred spirit growing up

 

[Greenhornet]

He has a hard time mattering and having things to talk about that arent generic or forced

 

[DoomzdayzV]

Also he's got opportunities afforded to him that other dudes in Wu don't have..hollywood came calling

Its funny....cause Raekwon and Power(of all people) got leading roles in Hollywood flicks before Meth even did.

edit: forgot to mention Meths part in this flick is a 10 second cameo

Yeah funny how that worked out

 

[SirBiatch]

Him and Red ruined each other....they were both incredible artists before they became a duo then they became corny as fukk...same nikkas/whiteboys listening to Red n Meth by 1999 were the ones listening to Korn and Limp Bizkit

unfortunately, very true. I remember some of those cacs who hopped on when "Tear Da Roof Off" came out all of a sudden

let's be honest here, Rae was clearly the superior actor.

 

[Bolzmark]

Hits. He hasn't had enough. When you're a rapper you gotta chase those hot beats like great puzzy. I guess its part of work ethic. But when yeah, when the Wu first came out, I thought Meth would end up on that Mt/ Rushmore.

 

[Methodical]

Red had nothing to do with that:

I thought he meant this song

 

[Self_Born7]

Disappointing and mediocre albums with long droughts in between

He has possibly the GOAT flow but his discography is funny in the light

yep mediocre albums... not one of his albums really impressed like Liquid Swords, or Only Built For Cuban Linx,

You think Tical is mediocre? That's a classic to me.



I knew it the second it started is there a grimier beat out there?

Me included. M-e-t-h-o-d man was my first wu song. And it was dope.

Then came with the first classic wu solo



Had dope features with pac AND biggie? Mr mef was definitely on the right track to be legendary during the mid 90s

 

[comfortablynumbd]

he became a caricature once he started making movies and comedic music with redman.

This. been saying this for years and cats shyt on me for it like it means Red/Meth had no bangers or something. Its just an unfortunate fact.

 

[DrexlersFade]

You nikkas buggin Meth there wasn't nevr gonna be no top 10 but you dudes dissin RED you out yo muthafukking minds.
