Wu-Tang Clan standout Method Man has been in the news lately after a slight public disagreement between he and the RZA kicked off over the release of the one-of-a-kind Once Upon A Time album. Tical visited the studios of Hot 97 and chopped it up a bit, sharing details on his movie career, his crew, journalists and more.
Meth, who just turned the ripe age of 44 on March 2, will be hitting the big screen and the Grammy-winning rap star isn’t giving up his rap career although he’ll be winding down soon it seems. With a focus on acting, expect to see the Method Man at a theater near you very soon. But let’s get to the juicy stuff.
