Method Man is a perfect example of why you can't judge the "greatest rapper" debate just by record sales. Method Man in my opinon is up there with the Titans. Definitely my favorite lyricist of all time
The reason is.. methods first line starts a little bit before the end of biggies verse … so they had to cut out the “M.E.” But you can still hear the “E” in the transition… could of started with “here I am” and cut out METHOD MAN
Despite the popularity of this song, it is by far one of the hardest songs off this album. The method feature and back and forth of him and BIG is so fire. Love this song
@@australium7374 Where in my comment does it say that Jay z was the king of NY ? And idk if you know this but Jay Z is The richest rapper of all time . But I agree with Nas Personally.
Ifeanyi Arinze they do. Just not mainstream. Try: Waves by Joey Bada$$ Understood by Mick Jenkins King Kunta by Kendrick Lamar Fire Squad by J. Cole Clouds by Locksmith 4 PM in Calabasas by Drake (yes I was surprised when I first heard this)
@@isaacramirez9370 nah u tripping. This shit big time hard. Easily one of the hardest. You don’t know hip hop man. You probably think Drake has harder tracks with takes like that g.
Now that you said that 90s rap had that sonically sound most of the songs I remember like this one and Operation Lockdown by Rock n Ruck definitely had that sound
Man I look at it like this Whatever they had going on is between them. I know this album word-for-word and I'm a bit Tupac fan. I just love good music.
@@alanluscombe8a553 Not just Meth my g. Too Short did a remix to Cocktails with 2Pac on it as well as being on Biggie’s tune The World Is Filled, when they were both alive
I just turned 46 and remembered clearly when this dropped. Every one does. My favorite track ever is unbelievable. Him and dj premier were meant to be. This track is harder than sign language with no fingers. You never heard meth running around tryna ride his coattail or talk that I did shit with big jazz. Mad respect. ✌️👑
Everyone forgot about pac and snoop on 2 of America most wanted. Also, Eminem and Royce da 5 9 on bad meets evil. Then, theirs this. I'd like to hear everyone's opinion honestly because they're all crazy collabs
Those biggie verses are so great yet understated seriously when he was alive biggie was on his way to being the goat. He had the voice and the most clever lyrics.
Back when features mattered…Biggie came with that flow and Johnny Blaze wooo melted it. Method held his own don’t sleep on him…90s meth was prime time…great times.
NO PUNCHES…and their Vocals were on the same 1 track!!! Of course there were other tracks for ad-libs, but for the most part, they recorded this whole joint in the booth together. Sheesh😵💫
New school but always listen to Notorius B.I.G. , Tupac , Wu Tang Clan , Mob Deep , OutKast , Nas , Jay-Z , Eminem , Talib Kweli , Elzhi , Common , Black Thought , Ice Cube & Big Pun.
I seen a documentary when they talked about this song and it was said that Biggie thought Meth had better rhymes than him on his own track. That goes to show how much Big respected Meth, he’s the ONLY feature on the album!
@@hyabusa1 nah, Pac, Big L, Pun and the lox/dblock are. In Buffalo now you got Benny and BSF for modern day. Biggie killed it and meth did. Both legends. But sorry I'm putting my line up against yours from NY take Nas and BIG. Wu Tang is separate and method man was the sickest when it came to writing and delivering rhymes except redman on blackout he may have got beat by Red. So much love for hip hop though
Both Notorious BIG And Method Man Killed Dis Track Notorious BIG Is My 2 Favorite Rap Lyricists Of All Time Method Man Is One Of My Favorite Rap Lyricists To Come Outta Staten Island New York BIG Always Been Smooth With His Flow RIP Notorious BIG 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤
I wouldn't say "underrated" I mean dude is a legendary pioneer, member of one of the most famous hip-hop groups of all time, widely respected by everyone in the business of any generation. He just never was mainstream
Biggie was 50 years ahead of his time. That last verse is about as close to perfection as it gets. Meth is on another planet as well.
Facts!! Well put
U shouldn’t take meth
How was he ahead of his time? If anything, he fit perfectly in his time.
Best verse ever

"Don't Tempt M.E..."
"THOD Man"
That transition is one of best in
Hip hop history. Insane
Endangered species Meth 💀
A’Yo Pause
The reason is.. methods first line starts a little bit before the end of biggies verse … so they had to cut out the “M.E.” But you can still hear the “E” in the transition… could of started with “here I am” and cut out METHOD MAN

Meth da only artist to be on BOTH a BIG and PAC album while they were both alive. PEACE.
Bone thugs n harmony !!! And they did foe the love of the money with eazy
Jordon Dill Bone Thugs had a song with both as well.
However Meth is better than BIG and Pac as well in my opinion.
Got my mind made up
@@montieljesse8187
Method Man is in my Top 15 but better than Big or Pac? Ehh maybe
cuz method is the man. no beef no bullshit
It's ridiculous how perfect this song is.
The only feature on this album is Method Man, just goes to show how much respect BIG had for him - two legends on one track.
Facts 💯
The transitions in the song are so smooth. Biggie to Meth in Verse one. Chorus to Meth, then Biggie to meth to biggie. wooooooo
Biggie is unmatched
This entire album is one of the best things to ever happen in this world.
ruclips.net/video/JsBRiFLn-vs/видео.html
No doubt
This album and liquid swords
Mad beats, dope flows. Respect to Biggie Smalls and Tical. They don't come like this no more.
Ifeanyi Arinze they do. Just not mainstream.
Try:
Waves by Joey Bada$$
Understood by Mick Jenkins
King Kunta by Kendrick Lamar

Clouds by Locksmith
4 PM in Calabasas by Drake (yes I was surprised when I first heard this)
Syed Isamuddin no where on the level of this or anything from this era
Syed Isamuddin all of the songs u listed have nothing on any song from any wu tang solo album or this album here. Maybe king kunta that’s it
Syed Isamuddin and I like those songs
Pablo Mcclaren obviously.
They're good but not THIS good.
“I squeeze gats til my clip is empty don’t temp me-thod man”. Definitely one of the most cleverest lines in hip hop history
The more you listen to Biggie the more you get impressed 😭
What's a gat?

Ryan Taylor a lot more people than you'd think.
The whole Wu battalion is underrated.
How do you know Method Man is a badass? He’s the only featured artist on Ready to Die
Yup
theres people who sat in the studio with meth and big and they say meth was the only guy who ever could flow with biggie and hold his own.
Bragging rights for sure
You know Big thought Method was the better lyricist in this song? That's respect.
Meth got flow with bars he a legend a pioneer
One of the best hip hop duo tracks of all time
Bigs second verse is the no joke the best verse I’ve heard in hip hop
I agree I thought Meth had big on this cause Meth verse is sick but big last verse OMG! Just classic how he rides those bars.
RIP to one of the greatest to ever speak with a rhythm. Big really made it seem too easy. One of the greatest songs EVER made.
I was a 1 year old when ready to die came out and it's still bumping🔥 bumping this in 2023, RIP Biggie🙏🏽

Ironically this song was used in the soundtrack for The Wackness which was a movie set in 1994 NYC
Don't Tempt Me THOD Mannnn!!

Now a days you need Features too have a album. BIG only needed one 💯
The fact that Meth was the only one featured on Big's album, and murdered him on the track too, shows how underrated an MC he is. 💀👑

biggie is better on this
Settle down Meth didn't murder BIG. They complemented each other so we'll on this beat😅
