Video: Media Gasface Presents: Before The Legend: The Rise Of Method Man


An Hempstead native like Prodigy or Julius Erving, Meth recalls a straining try-out for Cappadonna’s crew, around a time when the future Wu members used to battle each other… Going back to 8th grade, Meth talks friendship, dark secrets, and him stealing Cap and Rae’s rhymes to impress cats as he’d go back to his old place in Long Island.

I guess everybody likes these little rap history lessons. Plus Method Man getting real sentimental at the end. Shit. R.I.P. ODB.
