Method Man Talks Hip Hop Authenticity, Greatest Rap Crew Of All Time & More [Video]

Method Man sits down with Charlamagne Tha God and DJ Envy on Power 105’s The Breakfast Club.

The New York legend has expressed his perspective on the current condition of Hip Hop, noting the significant differences from his time with the Wu-Tang Clan.

“Let’s say Hip Hop was in its early 20s,” he began. “Still young, but still, likes to fuck a lot, you know what I’m sayin’? I’m finding out what these streets are about; so there’s a lot more authenticity. When you heard records from the West Coast, you know it was from the West Coast. When you heard UGK, we know that was down south.” He continued: “I’m not taking anything away from the music nowadays, you know? Because whatever works, works. And I like some of the shit they be doin’ today. But back then, we had identities. And everybody was fightin’ for their own identity. Whereas now, it seems like everyone’s fighting for the same identity.”
