Upset about his role in the “Meth & Red Show”, Method Man has put his television show on a long break. With the promise of a certain type of show that would expand on the duo’s already growing hip-hop base, Method Man feels the show lost focus on who they were initially meant for. “I’m not complaining about money, I’m not complaining about promotions,” he told MTV. “I’m complaining about ‘Where are they trying to go with these storylines?’ I’m a grown-ass man; I shouldn’t be at a kid’s birthday party [on TV]. Me and Redman, what we didn’t realize when we came into this and tried to do this television show, is that we already had a audience. They had us feeling like we was going to broaden our audience. See the audience we brought to FOX, they alienated them off top if you ask me. I appreciate FOX for giving us the opportunity to do it; it just wasn’t a good marriage. We had to divorce.”
But the television show doesn’t seem to be on the only problem marriage that Method Man is in. Meth feels that his record company Def Jam has not given him the proper support and promotion for his latest album “Tical 0: The Prequel”. “Critics been trying to tear me down. I knew that was coming, because it was so much time in between albums. The album went gold by itself with no promotion or nothing,” he said. “After that, nobody paid attention. I don’t mean the fans didn’t pay attention, I mean the label, radio, BET, MTV, nobody wanted to pay attention. Do you know Def Jam didn’t even want to give me a second video? If an album goes gold with just a street single and I’ve been with you eight, nine years loyally, I can’t get a second video?” Well finally Def Jam has given Meth a second video for his song “Show” that has a split with the album’s intro song and it seems the rest may be up to him.
