Method Man finally got the joke. According to an interview he recently had with MTV, Meth admits that he made mistakes in his career and opens up about his newest project 4:21…The Day After.
The Wu-Tang member known to many as Johnny Blaze talked about his epiphany.
“I hate the way mutha—–s was talking, like I was the worst thing to happen to MCing…and there’s n—as out there doing way worst sh– than I ever did in my life.” he said of people’s perceptions.
“It’s like finally getting the joke and figuring out everybody is laughing at you — ‘All this time, I ain’t know’ — but still having that power to strike back at ’em…Like ‘I’m gonna reverse the joke. The joke is on y’all, ’cause I get it now,'” he added.
The rapper continued to speak on why he feels as though he was misunderstood.
“I wasn’t true to myself [on The Prequel] for the simple fact that, look at who I was working with…I’m not trying to take nothing way from Puff, he’s the biggest artist on Bad Boy. But Puff with Meth don’t mesh. We don’t party the same way,” he said of the past
Meth also went on to explain his new album’s title.
“Four-twenty [April 20] is the national weed-smoking day, according to those who chief…I basically said ‘4:21’ because I’m the day-after dude. Plus, four [and] two [and] zero only adds up to six. ‘4:21’ gives you that perfect seven. So this is sort of the day after, a moment of clarity, so to speak. When you’re waking up from that night of partying and sh– like that, what goes down,” he explained.
Meth says the album will hit stores in July.
