Ilovehddvd.com Reviews New Method Man DVD

Method Man - Live From The Sunset StripIlovehddvd.com reviewed Meth’s ‘Live From The Sunset Strip’ dvd and gave it an 80% score. Read below what they had to say!

Method’s first live concert video, in HD DVD of course, and I got my grubby hands on an advance copy! Before we get to the review I want to point out that this is a DVD put out by a small production company Fortress Entertainment. I like that. I like that Method went indi and I like the indi guys showing some HD DVD love.

Method Man gained fame as one of Wu Tang Clan’s more popular MCs. He is musically gifted – whether or not you like rap, he’s got a gift – and he can act. He has a recurring role in my favorite TV show The Wire. Method decided in 2007 to record a live appearance at the House of Blues in L.A. and this is what we got. Remember, my reviews look at the quality of the HD presentation, not the content. a run down of the tracklisting can be found here. otherwise, its all about HD.

The Big Doe Rehab… The Critics Sound Off

Ghostface“Predictably Outstanding…Rehab delivers everything we’ve come to expect from hip-hop’s most dependable absurdist — more psychedelic, coke-addled crime fiction spit relentlessly over horny rewired soul samples. Still hot from the (critical) success of last year’s Fishscale and More Fish, Ghostface swings for the fences and scores on almost every track…It’s hard to imagine that any of the thousand rap records coming out next month will best this one.” – New York Magazine’s “Vulture Blog”

Rolling Stone Gives The Big Doe Rehab 4 Stars

Getting the entire Wu-Tang Clan together seems as tough a challenge as acing the SATs or making Thom Yorke laugh. So it’s remarkable enough that the new Wu-Tang album — the Staten Island crew’s first in six years — actually exists. What’s more, 8 Diagrams is better than most would have expected: a terrific mix of classic Clan grime and enough new tricks to justify Inspectah Deck’s claim that “Wu-Tang keep it fresh like Tupperware.” Continue Reading “Rolling Stone Gives The Big Doe Rehab 4 Stars”

Ghostface Killah Checks Into Rehab December 4th

STATEN ISLAND, NY – “When you get a new Ghostface Killah album, the only reasonable reaction is to get lost in it,” said the New York Times of Ghost’s last full studio album, ’06’s instant classic Fishscale. And with the December ’06 release of More Fish and Ghost’s near-constant touring in ’07, his legions of fans have been happily lost in the ‘World According To Pretty Toney.’ Now, with a new Def Jam album – The Big Doe Rehab – set for release on December 4th, his current tour with Rakim, and a coffee-table book set for release on January 8th through MTV Press, the devoted will be positively delirious.

HHNLive.com talks to Raekwon

Last week HHNLive.com reported they had an interview coming up with Raekwon with Dr. Dre and the second edition of Cuban Linx. As if we don’t get enough news on Raekwon lately! Read the entire article below.

With the release of Only Built 4 Cuban Linx in 1994, Raekwon helped expand the global influence of the Wu-Tang Empire, while establishing himself as a credible solo artist, and sparking a new subgenre of hip-hop, Mafioso rap. The vivid and intense criminal narratives in Raekwon’s lyrics laid the foundation for popular albums that would soon follow, including Jay-Z’s debut album, Reasonable Doubt. Following the release of Only Built 4 Cuban Linx, Raekwon went on to record two more incredible albums with the Wu-Tang Clan and another two solo albums, which were also both critically acclaimed.

Now, ten years after his debut album first dropped, Raekwon is busier than ever, releasing the debut album from Ice Water, a group of MCs from his native Staten Island. The group consists of Cigar, Polite, Stumik, and PC. However, Raekwon is also out on the Rock the Bells tour with the Wu, gearing up for the release of 8 Diagrams, the first Wu-Tang LP in nearly six years.

HHNLive.com writer Aaron Frank sits down for an in-depth chat with Raekwon of the Wu-Tang Clan. Rae opens up about “Cuban Linx 2”, working with Dr. Dre, southern Hip-Hop, longevity in the game and much more.

Raekwon on Hip-Hop today: “you see a lot of children in the game right now. It’s the children’s millennium of hip-hop right now…You ain’t really catching too many grown niggas buying records anymore…they can’t really relate.”

Aaron Frank: So how has the Rock the Bells tour been so far?

Raekwon: It’s cool. It’s been a lot of real good turnouts, you know what I mean? The real die-hard fans of hip-hop, so it’s a good look. Continue Reading “HHNLive.com talks to Raekwon”

Raekwon Talks Dr. Dre, Southern Hip-Hop and “Cuban Linx II” In Up-Coming Interview

In an up-coming exclusive interview with HHNLive.com, Raekwon of Wu-Tang talks about why Three 6 Mafia are a southern Wu-Tang, “Only Built 4 Cuban Linx II”, working with Dr. Dre and more.

RAEKWON ON WORKING WITH DR. DRE:

“Dre and them want it, but he a busy man and I know that before he can even act like he wants to deal with this (“Cuban Linx II”), he gotta take care of everything that he’s dealing with. We never really inked nothing. It was just a lot of hype.”

RAEKWON ON THE “CUBAN LINX II” DELAY:

“…we still in conversations about what label we gonna fuck with, because we didn’t really do this album for it to be rushed and thrown out there without the proper respect given to the legacy, you know what I mean?…the shit is sitting in a glass case waiting to be held, but we gotta make sure that we stand for something and don’t fall for anything when we’re dealing with the industry business.” Continue Reading “Raekwon Talks Dr. Dre, Southern Hip-Hop and “Cuban Linx II” In Up-Coming Interview”

Vogeltjesdansbende.nl checks in with Method Man

In September last year (2006 that is) I had the chance to do an interview with Method Man. However, due to circumstances this interview never got released. Vogeltjesdansbende.nl now has the audio and the transcript up for everyone to read and/or listen!

At the time of the interview Method Man’s album “4:21… The Day After” was only in stores for a week, so we spoke on that. In addition we touched on a variety of subjects: ODB, Meth’s work with Redman, Blunt Force Volume One, the Playstation, how to work in the studio and much more!

If you haven’t already, go pick up “4:21… The Day After” and keep checking in with Vogeltjesdansbende.nl for all the latest news on the Wu-Tang.
