Method Man Gets 100% Real About His Album, The Media & Why He No Longer Curses on Songs (AUDIO)

via ambrosiaforheads.com

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.
