Method Man No Longer Wants To Be Associated With Weed Anymore

Posted on February 27, 2015 by spiritequality

This is a 2011 interview, but Meth definitely wanted to dispel the rumor that he’s high all the time and clearly states that he doesn’t solely want to be associated with weed. Totally understandable. I just realized that the baby Meth was holding in the “C.R.E.A.M.” video is probably finished with college by now. The last thing his kid wants to hear is weed jokes about his dad by the water cooler at work. Anyway, Meth is one of the best emcees of his generation and he should be known for that more than he should be known as someone who smokes a lot of weed.

Ghostface and BadBadNotGood’s New Album ‘Sour Soul’ Is Fire (Stream Now)

Posted on February 24, 2015 by spiritequality

Ghostface and live band BadBadNotGood are a very, very good combo on their 60s soul-inspired collabo album, “Sour Soul.” Do your ears a favor and cop this indie Lex Records release right here.

Stellar cameos from potent lyricists like Elzhi and MF Doom round out the album (in addition to a psychedelic Danny Brown guest spot). The record also features extended hypnotic instrumental grooves.

My only complaint is that “Tone’s Rap” and the opening verse of “Mind Playing Tricks” took it too far with the misogyny, but this is the man who brought us “Wildflower,” after all.
