Just days after Method Man called out the Hip Hop media and producer Cilvaringz in an interview with Huffington Post, the Wu-Tang Clan affiliated producer has issued a statement in response.
Earlier this week Method Man sounded off on a XXL journalist following a controversial interview with the site and called out the Hip Hop media more generally for what he hinted are exploitative practices. During the HuffPo interview Meth also threw Cilvaringz under the bus for his part in the Once Upon a Time In Shaolin album roll-out, saying, “It’s never us coming with the gimmicks, it’s always on the outside, a ‘B’ Wu guy or somebody like that coming with some crap that’s just so gimmicky.”
Issuing a statement to HipHopDX in response, Cilvaringz says he was surprised by Method Man’s choice of words.
“I got nothing but love and respect for Meth,” he said. “Dude’s been nothing but cool to me. He’s always been one of the realest dudes I met, so I’m surprised he went off on me like that publicly, that’s not really his style. Then again, he seemed frustrated with a variety of things—he’s right about some things he addressed and I wish communication had been better recently. I take no offense though, hope me and him can get to talk sooner or later.”
Check out a full breakdown of Method Man’s current rift with the Hip Hop media below:
I’m reading the Cilvarings tried to put a WU album together under false pretense and this gimmick was the only way he could recoup his money. People saying he was playing snippets for years on Wutangcorp.com and he has only recently deleted the threads.
Interesting info right there.
interesting indeed
Its tha other way around. He lied about it being a cilvarings album, knowing he was secretly working on a wutang clan album under rza. rza put up da cream tho, not rings, dude aint got DAT type of money, somebody hack his computer tho!

Black Muslims always have to learn the hard way that they CANNOT trust Arabs.
^^ Holy fuck! I didn’t even know this type of racism existed!
RZA and Reakwon are one of the lamest members of WU. I am tired of seing Reakwon especially. He can kiss Justin Bieber’s ass. Lame!!!
OBFCL 2 was a classic. Rae might be the sharpest sword in the Wu right now.
OBFCL was a classic, NOT 2. Fuck outta here with your 19 year old ass.
Did u even heard Raekwon’s verses on A Better Tomorrow? Raekwon is by far the best Wu-Tang Clan Rapper past and present!
ob4cl1 was classic 2 was if not perfect, then great.. id personally like to see a 3 to end the trilogy when he wants to make 1 last album
Gotta salute this journalism right here, this what we expect from y’all. On the topic, Meth 100 on a lot of topics but Cilvaringz kept it real adult. See, whoever cop this album can’t post it on the ‘net, that’s commercialism/for profit clowns. I 1000% support this project being locked up for 88 years, media getting their act together, and you fake fans being shut out because you don’t buy music anyway. One.
Stop hating on Cilvaringz. He had a vision and Rza agreed with it which is more than any Wu member or affiliate can say during their 20 plus year careers! No clan member or killabee has brought any ideas out of the box which is why Rza has gone ahead with this shit.
Wu-Tang Needs Better Beats! Ghost needs to pick the beats. Get beats from Alchemist, Just Blaze, Kanye, No I.D., Jake One, Dj Premier, Apollo Brown, Ect… And just let Ghost choose the beats. Guaranteed Classic album… Tell them that DX. Ghost has the best albums and longevity as far as best albums go.
