Method Man explains why he's not participating in the Wu-Tang x Nas tour "I have options"

[Ziggiy]

I get it, but it sounds a bit diva ish.

"My brothers" have nothing else going on so they can do this little tour. I have OPTIONS. I have no time for the small time.

I mean he literally said the tour dates conflicted with a movie he was already contracted to do. He thoroughly explained what those OPTIONS were.

And i’m sure you’d be a little aggy too if you were minding your own business and a bunch of angry people who don’t know you were hitting up your DM’s cursing you out because you weren’t on a tour. Thats got to be annoying

Which is funny because Method Man made the Wu-Tang brand. Wu-Tang really didn't blow up on a mainstream level until 1994.
He had the 1st solo out of any one of the klan members and he had cross over singles with Mary J. Blige on the top charts way before any other Wu Tang members went solo.

RZA made the Wu-Tang brand. There is no Method Man solo song without RZA’s business strategies and production genius.

Never saw Wu together live... I seen gza perform liquid swords live and red and meth together though.

We were like 20 deep at the meth show and he shouted us out cos we had spliffs in constant rotation the whole show lol. Redman dived 15/ 20 feet off a floor speaker shyt was crazy.

I doubt I'll ever see a performance as lit as that one.

Exactly, the whole energy of the interview seems strange and puts off an above it all kind of vibe.

I’ve seen plenty of solo Wu member shows, and one full group show that was supposed to be every member bit ODB was missing because it was the night he died.

Nah some chick cursed him out in the DMs. He posted her DM so this is addressing her.

I think he's just saying that he's reached the point where he's has multiple choices for income.

Besides, Rae, GZA and especially RZA always have multiple things going on...outside of music. So, he's not the only one that doesn't need tour money, or has options. So in no way was it a slight at the Clan. Mef ain't a diva or a hater. Now Rae would've taken shots

Meth stopped being the centerpiece of the Wu over a decade ago.

Ive seen Wu twice in concert twice now. The first time without Meth and second with him.

Meths energy elevated the show to a whole nother level fam, he will definitely be missed on that stage.

 

[Wargames]

I wish his options included a new album

 

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

Wu tang concert without method man

Nas made the rest of them dudes look like rookies last night

i'm just being honest

 

[NormanConnors]

Got to see Wu with the full lineup so im good, props to Meth though

 

[Ziggiy]

I wish his options included a new album

He outright said albums don’t make money like that anymore. Doubt its on his radar.


After 30 years in the game you gotta have Nas levels of love for the genre to still be releasing top quality albums.

Lets be real
Wu Tang as a brand is the only thing that Gen Pop knows about Wu

100%


Roll up on the next white person you see wearing a Wu-Tang shirt and ask them what's their favorite song on "Supreme Clientele", guarantee 95% of the time you get ignored or asked what is that, . White people fake love Wu the same way females fake love reading...got 225 pics on IG of her holding an open book with a quote caption...aint read that shyt or any other book since 10th grade. Frontin

Meth stopped being the centerpiece of the Wu over a decade ago.

People haven’t checked for the music they released in that time period though, they’re going to Wu concerts because of what they dropped in the 90s and early 2000s. Most people still see Meth as the main attraction.

 

[BuddahMAC]

I wish his options included a new album

He dropped one in May.

 

[TheMailMan]

To who?

Not the general public who bought tickets to see Method Man… not U-God

U mean they coming to hear this classic?

 

[ℒℴѵℯJay ELECTUA]

a wu line up without one missing isnt a wu tang gig, the irony!

wu tang live post 1995/6 was more like Wu tang presents: family & friends!
