Method Man releases the first Visual From His New Album The Meth Lab (Video)



Email

Last week, Method Man announced he was releasing a new album, The Meth Lab, and set the internet on fire. The album title leverages a clever reference to both the dopeness Meth cooks up in the studio, as well as a nod toBreaking Bad, one of his favorite television series. Meth will use the LP to showcase many of the talented MCs from Staten Island, the NYC borough from which he hails.

In the animated trailer announcing the album, Meth, Hanz On and Streetlife storm an RV where Breaking Bad characters Walter White and Jesse Pinkman are toiling, and take it over. The video for the title track, which premiered today on MTV, picks up right where the trailer left off, with all three MCs in the RV concocting that metaphorical goodness.

The Meth Lab hits stores on August 21, via Tommy Boy Entertainment. Check out the video.

We had the opportunity to speak at length with Method Man to discuss his forthcoming new album, The Meth Lab, and more. The veteran MC had a lot on his mind and did not hesitate to touch on several issues with candor and depth. In addition to talking about his new music, Meth delved into how he’s maintained his razor sharp flow for more than two decades, his complicated relationship with the media over the years, the role of seasoned MCs in Hip-Hop, predatory practices of the music business, the continued support he receives from his Wu-Tang Clan bretheren and more. Also, while he spoke with plenty of “colorful metaphors” during the interview, he also revealed he has not uttered a curse word on a song since 2010’s Wu Massacre album.

This was not a surface level interview. When Method Man spoke on a subject, he went there. Whether he was talking about Jay Z and MF DOOM as being lyrical peers in the same class or how an unjust practice regarding sampling robbed him of his publishing on his biggest hit, he gave the real and raw. No matter how much you know about the venerable MC, you will learn something.

The first solo-based project in more than five years, legions of fans are eager to the analyze the product coming out of The Meth Lab. Coming August 21 via Tommy Boy Entertainment, Method Man says he loves writing rhymes again, for the very same reasons he started more 25 years ago—so they can be appreciated.

Here is the audio of the conversation, and the entire interview is transcribed below.

so this is an official studio album after all? :ohhh: surprisingly many features. I ain't complaining though, Meth kills 99% of his guest verses so maybe this is his way of making sure his verses on his own album is gonna be as dope as possible, lol.

2015 really lookin good.

Deck killed his verse. Definitely looking forward to this after the last two leaked joints.
