Real talk I actually like the show because it has a conscious. Which many shows don't have now a days.

Why do they call Meth “Shotgun” and not Method Man? They can’t use it or that wasn’t his rap name yet?
What time this drop on Hulu?

Meth said that was his childhood nickname. He hadn't taken on the moniker of Method Man yet. None of the Wu have their Wu names yet.

All the characters either go by their government names or an early nickname on the show. Sha = Shallah Raekwon, Shotgun = Meth, Allah Justice = GZA, Ason Unique = ODB, Rebel = Inspectah Deck, Chino = Cappadonna, Bobby and Dennis = RZA and Ghostface.

Meth was playing lacrosse?? Didn’t eem know that
Yup. Meth is from Long Island. Hempstead to be exact. And he was a lacrosse star in high school. Dude is my fav rapper of all time so I know way too much shyt about him lol.
This was a solid ass episode. Set up shyt, paid it off, and left on a nice cliffhanger while bringing Rae and meth together. Finally.

How did you feel about the pacing? It was interesting to see them do a time jump.
I also didn’t understand what made RZA so attractive to the labels. That part seemed rushed. If I were a casual viewer I’d be like, “wait a minute he went from wack Fallopian tube rhymes to a name change and record deal pretty quick.”
I enjoyed the episode as well. Just had some questions from a writing perspective

LMFAO that was my EXACT same thought. I'm sitting there thinking they've been writing Bobby to be wack on purpose. If not wack at least not marketable or worth getting signed. I didn't know that Meth was there with GZA and RZA close to getting a deal on his own. I still hate this week to week shyt because I'm loving the show and want to watch it all now.
Also wondering when or if they show Meth slinging on here. Was he lying to that record exec or was he just not dealing yet. Is that something that'll be introduced next season when/if they introduce U-God.
Yeah the writing with rza felt sloppy. I’m with you there. Rza has always said he wasn’t down with the I love you rakeem shyt but here he seems to be so down with it. The tension is there as far as him wanting to put his boys on and the manager saying “nah” but I can also buy the labels wanting him because rap was blowing up and anyone with a look and a hook would catch on. It was a different era so it makes sense.
But I would’ve appreciated seeing how he went from that intelligent stuff to being willing to do that single which he’s stated on record he didn’t want to do.
A month after rza signs. I think he’s talking about the time jumps throughout the episode. It’s a lot of meth flashbacks. Then you’re going forward a month once rza has his single out.

I can definitely see how the guy who wrote 'Wildflower', 'Back Like That' and 'I Can't Go To Sleep' could come out of this.
