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
@@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.
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
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)
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
@@AlanpittsS2b 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
@@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.
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.
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
@@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
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 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. ✌️👑
@@NIMMHATVRapBeats what the fuck you talking about yeah they looking for likes everyone is you were when commenting this like i want this comment to blow up its a given
The crazy thing is if you go to sleep with this ya song on ya brain when you wake up the beat will start playing as soon as you wake up prefect soundtrack for the day
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😵💫

Facts
Yeah
🎯
Only a fool would judge by record sales. Vanilla ice
Best alive for sure. Always been in my top 5. People be sleepy on him and I just don't get it. Appriciate this man while he's here.
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
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

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
The way blend their flows and play off eachothers lyrics is nothing but greatness
Literally the perfect feature
Facts
A muthafukin rap phenomenon
Seasoned vets
00⁰
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 💯
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

This album and liquid swords
It's ridiculous how perfect this song is.

"Don't tempt meTHOD Man!" That's how you take over 🙌🙌
Method Man flow and cadence is so smooth I'll even say he outshines every other rapper songs that he's featured on

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

They're good but not THIS good.
This one of the best beats I've ever heard
its straight up dirty, the way they enunciate fits perfect with it

@@therealjackieheezyYes Sir! It is where the True artistry of Hip Hop lies!! The Samples!🫡
The transitions in the song are so smooth. Biggie to Meth in Verse one. Chorus to Meth, then Biggie to meth to biggie. wooooooo
Best rap collab in history. Period.
IDK man. Nas and AZ on Life's a Bitch is arguably the best cameo in rap.
I'm going to have to throw Em and Royce da 5 on Bad meets evil against this track.. let's see what people think.. thoughts peeps?

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.
One of the best hip hop duo tracks of all time
This shit is soooo grimy, LOVE IT. Sonically it sounds like how i imagine brooklyn in the 90s would feel.
EXACTLY
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
