WU-TANG QUEST 2000! : info
method man
information
Born Clifford Smith on Staten Island, Method Man and his
mush-mouthed rapping style electrified the 1993 debut album
by the hip-hop collective Wu-Tang Clan. The incredibly
dark, raw sound of Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)
influenced many rappers, and the album eventually reached
gold status. As part of the Wu-Tang Clan's contract, each
member had the authority to sign separate solo contracts,
so Method Man moved to Def Jam for his solo debut Tical.
The single "Bring the Pain" just missed the Top 40 in 1994,
but the following year "I'll Be There for You/You're All I
Need to Get By" (his duet with Mary J. Blige) reached
number three in the charts. His second duet, "How High"
featuring Redman, hit the Top 15 in August 1995. A single
with Wu-Tang mates Raekwon and Ghost Face Killer breached
the Top 40 later that year. Tical 2: Judgment Day followed
in 1998. - info from:
