(AllHipHop News) Wu-Tang veteran Method Man has issued an apology to Waka Flocka regarding their differing opinions on the value oflyrics in today’s Hip-Hop.
In an previous appearance on Shade 45’s All Out Show withRaekwon and Ghostace Killah, Method Man spoke on his disdain for subpar
lyrics in Hip-Hop music, specifically pointing out Waka Flocka after the
hosts made him aware that the Atlanta rapper stated intricate lyricism
is not needed in today’s climate.
“He has the right to his opinion. But the people that are in theknow and know what time it is, know that if you ain’t saying s**tout
your mouth, your time is very slim in this motherfucking game, b.”
Waka Flocka responded in an exclusive AllHipHop.com interviewthat he wouldn’t disrespect Method Man, and expressed disappointment an
artist he looked up to would attack him.
“I feel like he disrespected his own kid. I listened to you, Iseen you start, buddy. I seen you in the bus, hanging on the bars, I was
digging that with the one eye [in the “Bring the Pain” video.],” Flocka
explained. “They called Down South music pop, but Onyx wasn’t doing
crunk music to you, honest opinion? Wu-Tang was crunk music, crunk
aggressive music. Hip-Hop is supposed to have different angles.”
Method Man appeared again last Friday on the All Out Show, andcriticized the media for taking his point “out of context.”
Inaddition, Method Man clarified his personal feelings on Waka Flocka.
“[My statement] wasn’t about that man or what that man do. Itwas about the statement [Waka made],” Meth detailed. “I don’t even know
that man to feel any type of way about that man….Anybody trying to eat
legally and get their money the way I try to get mines, and ain’t never
gonna knock them, man. That’s the last time I say anything about any
fu**ing emcee or what they do. I’m going to keep my business to myself.”
“I appreciate that that man took the high road, I respect thatman for that because I was way out of context. I can honestly say that
because I didn’t know where the information came from, or how it was
stated. But from the input that I got, his s**twas taken out of context
when he made that statement.”
Method Man is making promotional rounds in preparation for aMarch 30 collaboration LP with Raekwon and Ghostface entitled Wu-Massacre.
Thealbum will feature productionfrom The RZA, Scram Jones, and Mathematics.
Waka Flocka Flame’s debut project Murda Man Flocka isexpected to drop this year.
