Method Man - Tical 25th Anniversary

[Alvin]

This album has a lot of GREAT songs. Just doesn't have the same impact the later releases had.

Method Man Has Not Cursed On A Verse In 5+ Years. Here’s Why (Audio)

 

[Metal Face]

Good album. Not as a great or classic as OB4CL, LS or SC but still solid.

That RZA Flood

Stimulation is

That RZA Flood

Little do people know, but there were two floods where he lost tons of shyt!!!

Little do people know, but there were two floods where he lost tons of shyt!!!

“For me, that same f*cking flood keeps popping up in my life. It popped up twice in the course of Wu-Tang [Clan]. As soon as we had finished [Enter The Wu-Tang: 36 Chambers], I already had Inspectah Deck’s [Uncontrolled Substance] album, Method Man’s [Tical] album prepared. Because back in those days we had floppy disks and I would make all the beats – Method Man’s session, Deck’s session, [Raekwon’s Only Built 4 Cuban Linx…] session, and I was ready to go. Here comes the flood that wiped away about 160 floppy disks. Because I didn’t think there’d be a flood. I had [the disks] on the floor, under the keyboard. You don’t think. Wu-Tang [Clan was] out doing some shows in Cleveland, whatever. [We came] back–water’s up this high, washed that all away. [We went] back to the drawing board. Cool.”

More than a year later, RZA says he was storing disks more carefully. After the creation of 1995’s Only Built 4 Cuban Linx… and GZA’s Liquid Swords, nature struck again.”Now, my studio is built. Everything is [stored up high], off of the floor. I feel like life is good. I just created [two acclaimed albums] and another flood comes. Higher. [It] destroys the tape machine, the board we had, [and other equipment]. Okay, cool. We move again [and] get the ‘Wu house,’ in New Jersey. ‘They’ll be no floods again.’ Another flood. The funny thing is, recently, I was home. Now, I’m not worried about the flood. A tsunami [could not affect me].” RZA said that he has a skylight in one of his current production rooms. “I’m sittin’ there, and water starts comin’ from [above].” With a laugh, RZA compares his experience to Noah and the ark.

 

[Tommy Gibbs]

I never understood why people put studios in basements.

This nikka laughing like the grimest shyt to never be heard didn't get washed away

Yeah, I remember.....I tried googling the ad but nothing came up.
Anyone able to find the original 'Month Of The Man' magazine ad?

I got it somewhere...post when I find it.

 

[Diondon]

Over the years since, I've learned to appreciate Tical for the classic it lowkey is
At the time it dropped, Red dropped DIAD round the same time, so it got outshined to me

Love this album. Love it so much. Love it like its family. I know the whole thing inside out and it’s one reason meth is my favorite ever. While it’s not the best album of the initial wu joints, it’s special. I’ve got the remastered version which sounds good too but I always wish we got the version he initially wanted to put out. Also, is def jam or meth or anyone doing any damn thing to celebrate this album?

Method Man & Lord Finesse - Check The Method (DJ Filthy Rich blend) SNIPPET

Method Man's rough raps Lord Finesse' smooth production go well together IMO.

DM me, OR email me at promoguy1@gmail.com to purchase the full download (cheap) which comes in 320 bitrate HQ audio with split tracks so you can skip and rewind btw songs.
The Deluxe version comes also comes with other dope blends/freestyles/demos as well which I never released to the public.
