I noticed they just side stepped the song "Method Man"...They gave a lot of attention to "Protect Ya Neck" and "Cream" but "Method Man" was what made my city bow down. Thats when Meth was a scary nikka, he wasn't all jokey jokey yet...He was that new scary looking nikka which continued from Sticky Fingaz being the most recent scary nikka. This song was the one that had everyone talking. On the song "Pronto" by Cru..I understood exactly what he meant when he said "And my favorite joint is Method Man by Wu Tang"..I understood completely. I'd put money on it "White Owls" stock went up after this song...All of a sudden....White Owls became the wrap of choice and Phillys was old news. (Is it a coincidence when Meth started promoting Dutch Masters a year later everyone in my city was on the Dutch Master tip now? ....It was as if whatever Meth said was the wrap of choice the whole hood just went with it. Fronta Leaf and Garcia Vegas was more word of mouth compared to what Meth said was the in thing)


And everyone was repeating those suspect sounding torture methods in that skit before the album version of Method Man came on.

This video was that 1993 New York gritty shyt that had everyones attention. This was the song that made u remember everyones name due to the intro......Its like they sidestepped that whole moment.

Yo its crazy Ralph Mcdaniels has all those tapes just sitting in a spare room :mindblown:

Them shyts need to be put on Youtube, or in digital form before something happens to them.

One flood/fire and you lose decades of irreplaceable footage. Just get an intern to catalog and digitize it all and then put the originals in a Manhattan Mini-Storage for $50 a month. shyt I’ll organzie it all on the weekend. That whole scene I was :dahell:

Incredible series. its sad to see these guys all old...like their age is showing and its like ur superheroes getting being old. just kinda sad

with that said, that part in episode 4 with cappadonna at the dinner table was the most awkward moment I have ever seen. I wish someone could clip that and upload it to youtube, because its so awkward its funny.

everyone who sees the episode will know what part im talking about

even Cap realizes how awkward he made it and he makes a joke to change the vibe

Most of them look great. I'm happy to see them like that. There's not that many alternatives.

Meth still looks like Meth, that dude has maintained his health and you can tell he works out.

The rest tho....not so much.

Everywhere...You never there.
Ep.1 Observations

Ghost’s description of managing his lil brothers :to:


So vivid and prolific with his storytelling whether he’s rhyming or just conversing ...

Meth going to the statue of liberty spot and picking up the food off the buffet line :gucci:



The amount of deference and respect Meth and U showed to the older white guy who employed them :wow:



Now juxtapose that with the racism from white folk they said they experienced ... Rae calling the Italians some “Richie Cunningham” niccas :mjlol:
