In footage obtained for CheckMateNewYork.com, rapper Method Man spoke on fellow artist Shyheim while working with him in the studio to record a new LP.
While taking a break from recording Method Man compared Shyheim to fellow rapper Lil Wayne and said that Shyheim should be right up there with the likes of Lil Wayne at awards shows.
“And I’m pretty sure that if Shy [Shyheim] was of age at the time all this stuff was happening he’d still be where he was at. You know what I’m saying? At that fuckin peak where it’s like right now I’d be watching the MTV Video Awards and shit, talking to Lil Wayne about the game and shit or sitting right next to the nigga,” Method Man explained. “Cause he from that same grain. And not for nothing I know he still got it cause he’s still young. So he can still do it. I just don’t see little Shyheim anymore. I see Shy the man.”
Shyheim is said to have been one of the youngest Wu Tang Clan affiliates and has gone on to release five solo albums including his debut AKA The Rugged Child.
It is unclear when Shyheim’s project with Method Man will be released.

Why do so many people dickride Wayne? Is there something wrong with me for hating this dude? All my favorite rappers co-signing this faggot and I have no idea why.
maybe hes comparing how he can make it to mainstream and be as big as lil wayne
“All my favorite rappers co-signing this faggot and I have no idea why.”
1. Lil Wayne is a hip-hop legend and icon.
2. Lil Wayne is one of the greatest MCs of all time.
The fact that you “hate” him doesn’t change these 2 facts, which is why hip-hop legends co-sign him.
Idiot
son,your sucking my dick raw every night,like the bitch your raised to be,.love lil waynke
Lol@jason ! He aint no legend or icon or one of the greatest to do it, only a mainstream fan would say that. any real hiphop head knows the real
dude compared the two rappers and people start typing there feelings
i guess all he seen was lil wayne
I wanna sat 80 percent of the rappers who praise Wayne are doing it n hopes of signing to Cash Money or doing a song with him so it can be a hit.
lil wayne, hands down the most overated rapper of all time
“I wanna sat 80 percent of the rappers who praise Wayne are doing it n hopes of signing to Cash Money or doing a song with him so it can be a hit.”
Do you have ANY evidence of this? Nope.
Therefore what you just said can be taken with a grain of salt.
LOL, I love it when faggots like you pull numbers out of your ass to try to make a point.
When all it does is make you look like a complete clueless idiot
Let me play your little game:
I wanna say 100% of the rappers who praise Wayne recognize that Wayne is a legend and a great MC.
Now go ahead and PROVE me wrong. Wait, you can’t. The point is, you can’t assume what someone else’s motives are. You have to just accept what they said at face value
Jason… You should maybe remove Weezys nuts from your mouth. I would like YOU to PROVE you’re right. Prove to everyone why Lil’ Wayne is a legend and a great emcee. Oh that’s right. You can’t. How can you prove opinion? You can’t.
Moron.
Willy, you’re such a fuckin’ faggot. Jason was being sarcastic, you DUMB FUCK!!! That’s why he said,”Let me play your little game” in reference to yeah’s post. You’re trying to be a bad ass and talk shit about Jason when now everyone’s laughing at you for having the IQ of a sunflower seed.
How come nobody mentions us at all? We were the first white/black kid rap group ever.
na meth talking bout how dope Shy was if you know music go back listen to “Man Child” he’s saying Shy was lyrically as nice & spit his real life. It was all true he did prison time for real shit so he never blew. Plus it’s easy to get big with 1 hit now.
Yawl can hate on Wayne all fucking day, don’t change the FACT the lil nigga is one of the greats. He don’t have to YOUR favorite.
EXACTLY.
It is a FACT that Wayne is a legend and one of the greats.
His longevity, catalogue, relevance, and impact in hip-hop is factual and puts him among the all-time greats
Doesn’t matter if YOU like him or not.
Lil Wayne has a terrible discography, little skill and is NOT one of the greatest rappers of all time.
Longevity? please. just because he released an album in 1999 doesn’t mean he has longevity. longevity doesn’t count if you are not relevant.
And what impact, besides kissing grown men on the mouth, does lil wayne have on impact
His impact was converting Radio Disney listeners into fairweather rap fans.
wayne is a “”legend”” (had to double quote lol) because of tards like u buying simple shit because they cant understand REAL lyricism and dick riding dj’s that wanna get paid…please don’t EVER get that twisted again
Lol wayne aint one of the greats, he’s just one of the most known
I aint no lil Wayne fan really, but the dude does him very well and stays on his grizzley, now everybody wanna sound like him, or do what he does..look at Kanye, even hova switched up so immensely you don’t know who the hell he is for the past couple of years
The boy is a game changer and one of the hardest working in the history of rap, so in this sense i give credit where it’s due.
Going at Hova shows the fire is there. If you read some of the comments by these Hova fans it’s rediculous to fall in love and idolize someone especially coming from a hip hop perspective where your there to relate to the common man and be that voice
dumb
I’m not a betting man but I’d be willing to bet millions that not one single Lil Wayne fan has ever had an easy time in English class.
You’re missing commas in that long ass sentence.
/\ Like you really know where a comma is supposed to go.
who gives a fuck..ur all fuckin idiots. spelling on a hip hop website? who cares, rappers make up their own fuckin words and ur worried bout commas
I won two spelling bees as a kid, and majored in English in college. I’m a L’il Wayne fan. Good thing you’re not a betting man…
I feel like this article is a classic example of skewing words. Meth did not compare the two artists he simply said they’re from “the same grain” and people who follow hip hop will understand what meth is talking about because Wayne and Shy were both very young when they came out. Shy was Wu-affiliated and Wayne was with the Hot Boy$ so they were both around older established artists growing up.
word!
Wrong. He meant exactly what you don’t want to hear, that they are both lyrical artist in the same generation age wise.
clown^
what a stupid fuckin article. just cuz Wayne is so much as mentioned somebody has to blow it up and try to make a story out of it. SMH…
Oh I guess Method Man is not famous? Maybe your sitting on your chair mad that Wayne was mentioned at all is the REAL truth. Oh negative ass.
There’s a lot of nut huggers in this thread.
Shy would MURK Wayne lyrically !!!!
Nigga you got a pigeon head
Wow! Can’t wait for this! That beat sounds tight! I want to hear Meth and Shy spit over that!
Chris Brown Wu Tang VMA? I’m confused with this clip
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FAy9_91ByAo&feature=channel_video_title
I was at Target and Best Buy today, and wow, the album was flying off the shelves in both places.
Tha Carter IV is gonna do major numbers for 1st week sales. Projections are 700-850k
Purchased 2 copies, one for myself and one for my bro
damn man, this Jason guy must be in love with wayne lol. look at all his comments defending his hip hop boyfriend. jason pull weezy’s dick out ur mouth for a sec kiddo
This is coming from someone who doesn’t hate or love Wayne. His mixtapes, features, and Carter 2 were great. 95% of his new stuff just isn’t. Carter 4 is terrible. It has like 2 good songs. So, I am indifferent. Facts though:
His charisma is unbelievable, His sales, guest appearances and the way young people follow him show he has an impact and he has really clever one liners.
However, He can’t make a complete album. Most his songs have no substance or meaning besides a couple 1 liners after Carter 2. His slow songs and singing is some of the worse music ever.
Take is how you want, but people saying he completely sucks and people saying he is a legend and the greatest are both wrong.
Let’s see…. One has been going platinum for years, while the other had a bit part in Original Gangstas lol So yeah Method Man. These two are so alike. Stop smoking weed.
only way you can compare the two is if shyheem had wutang writing for him..
when is lil wayne gonna make an album that hip hop can be proud of? I still have never made it all the way through any of his albums…
Then your a fool, Tha Carter I and II are easily listened to from front to back, you either have a short memory or just a hater. Or i guess it’s also possible you just have horrible taste.
^ how long ago were those albums? did they come out this year? last year? or the year before that? Wayne has not made an album hiphop can be proud of since then.
carter one is IRRELEVANT and carter 2 gillie wrote…first comment stands lol
^^^Actually, Gillie only said that he wrote some of Tha Carter 1.
But nice try though, faggot
Shyheim wasn´t edgy enough to have longevity in this fucked-up rapgame. You could hear Wayne right out off the CMB-tracks back in the day.
And his collabos have a bigger spectrum, check this one out with Scarface and Willie D. :
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KoGYD1dyE9U
The Wu-Tang never built up Shyheim like CMB did it with Wayne.
your comments are so true
so lame that every rapper uses a phone now hip hop needs a pad and a pen
Rather listen to Shyheim over wayne any day
see kids, this is what too much weed does to you
Wayne is ok but I prefer Wu any day!!
Timbo Kings last album is way better than Tha Carter 4. It simply has more substance.
Still I am not hatin on Lil Wayne, dude is entertaining
Hopin to see a Method Man / Shyheim album soon
My team and I have a new song with Shyheim actually. He still got it check it out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8kM-OuoURkA
Yall are all retarded, if you actually READ the article, Meth is saying that Shy could’ve been as big as Wayne. He’s not praisng Wayne you idiots. learn how to read and comprehend.
Meth is right Shyheim should be the one with popularity, they both started at an incredibly young but Shyheim got more love when he was young and also he was coming from the Wu-Tang background so he naturally was compared to those out of the clan or associated, while Lil Wayne just had to beat out Juvenile, Birdman, BG, Mannie Fresh so it’s not hard to do that. Also Lil Wayne no problem doing pop songs which I don’t think Shyheim would do.
if you dig wu tang check out my music
listen to sour diesel or lyndale for that hard spitting and listen to dis dat dutta doo, who farted, and shoopi doo whop for that crazy shit
http://soundcloud.com/this-j-bird-bitch
Funny that you “real hip hop heads” aren’t asking the real question. Why is Meth building with Shy after Shy has been going at Raekwon hard for years? Where’s that Wu loyalty?
former? he’s still WU !!!!
Let’s examine mainstream music for a second y’all. Just because Britney Spears sells millions of records doesn’t mean she’s musically talented or has a whole lot of meaning in her lyrics. Lil Wayne is the same way. He has no fuckin lyrics and raps over shitty beats with a faggy high pitched voice. There are hundreds of MCs that are better than him.
