Biografía
Method Man grew up in both the Long Island and Staten Island neighbourhoods of New York, splitting his time between his separated parents. He first rose to stardom in the early 90’s, as the youngest and arguably most successful member of the now legendary New York Hip-Hop collective, Wu-Tang Clan. Method Man has recorded five studio albums with the Wu, as well as four of his own solo releases with Def Jam. Method has also proven himself as a strong actor, starring in comedies “Scary Movie 3” and “Soul Plane” and gangster flick “Belly”.
Redman, who grew up in Newark, announced himself onto the hip-hop scene with a notable guest appearance on an EPMD album in 1990. Following that brief cameo the infamous Def Jam snapped him up, and distributed his debut album “Whut? Thee Album” in 1992, the same year he was named “Rap Artist of the Year” by The Source Magazine. Since his debut Redman has released a total of seven studio albums, and also featured on Christina Aguilera’s smash hit, “Dirrty”.
The pair were friends before collaborating, having met on previous Def Jam tours. They were first featured on the same song together when they both contributed verses for rapper Tupac’s “Got My Mind Up” in 1996. They released their debut album “Blackout!” as “Method Man & Redman” in 199, when they were at the height of their popularity. The album was met with critical acclaim and named in many album of the year lists.
The first album served as a prelude to the pair’s debut as an acting duo, in the 2001 motion picture “How High”, a stoner comedy that achieved cult status in the early 2000’s. They also filmed a sitcom in 2004 called "Method & Red".
In 2009 the pair reunited to record their follow up album “Blackout! 2”. The pair stated that they delayed the release of their second album to focus on their various solo ventures. The album was a commercial and critical success despite the 10 year gap, cementing their status as one of raps go-to partnerships.

Went to the Philly Show & New York. On the whole, it was a blast. All the performances were fantastic leading up to a boiling crescendo of the purest 'down & gully' taste of the almost forgotten form of Hip Hop. Everyone in attendance were invited and then pulled willingly into a welcoming and personable performance. Mick Jenkins, Burner, B-Real all the other acts along the journey did the thing right! Meth & Red came on and completed the culmination extraordinarily 'out of this world' dynamite and right!
Apically most worth mentioning is, the interactive gregariousness of the performers especially with Funk-Doctor and B-Real and of course, The M.E.F.. The most memorable and part deserving of the appreciation of 'true' Hip-Hop fans in this attendee's eyes, was after seeing Method Man take a pretty painful spill and jolt during the Philly performance to see him come back the next night and bring 'wreck' and 'the pain' and watching him in pain, give not an ounce less of the energy that he had given the previous night.
Now, that's what entertaining is all about in this attendee's recollection of Hip-Hop and true Rap, were well represented in and of this tour with these iconic luminaries of the business and game. Please keep me informed of all performances that are headed by theses and guys like this that are in the New York and Philadelphia locales.

Over the course of a twenty-odd-year working relationship, Method Man and Redman have only managed two studio records, but it certainly hasn’t stopped them touring; they’re on the road across Europe once again this summer. The significance of the pairing is obvious to most hip hop fans; back in 1999, when they dropped the excellent Blackout!, it marked the first time that Method Man had really delivered what he was capable of outside of the Wu-Tang Clan; he’s always been the group’s real star and was accordingly tipped for solo greatness in the early nineties, but that never really materialised, with Tical and Tical 2000: Judgement Day only ever meeting with a lukewarm reception. As far their upcoming UK dates, expect a slew of material from Blackout! and its 2009 sequel, Blackout! 2, especially those tracks that have proved such firm favourites that they’ve made it into Wu-Tang setlists - ‘Da Rockwilder’, especially, is guaranteed to have every room bouncing. There’ll also be a fair few Meth-heavy Wu cuts - expect ‘M.E.T.H.O.D. Man’ for sure - and the best of Redman’s impressive catalogue, too. Meth himself has always been the most entertaining live member of the Clan; the man knows how to put a show on, making any gig with him on the bill an enticing proposition.

Red and Meth are born entertainers! My husband and I grew up bobbing our heads to Red, Meth, and Wutang. We saw Wutang at Bonnaroo in 2013. We had this opportunity to see Red and Meth in Cleveland at the House of Blues, and it was off the chain! They give all their energy to the crowd. One of the hypest hip hop shows I have ever seen. Red jumped in the crowd and my husband got to help move him along. Meth had the crowd hold him standing up...it was awesome! After the show Meth took a picture with my husband and couldn't have been a cooler dude. B real from cypress hill was so cool to see also. B real another cool dude as he snapped a pic with me after the show. Thanks Red and Meth! #WuTangforever

WAS CRAZY !!
Ils étaient juste fou comme toujours!
C’etait la folie la fête c’était même plus un concert !
Les Toucher, chanter, danser, rigoler avec eux c’était amazing !
En tout cas Red and Meth did the job.
La première partie, Dj Fab aussi ! Vraiment pas mal !! Une très bonne soirée old school.

Method man and Redman was the biggest hype of of my life so far! I met Meth last year and didnt think I could top that. They were amazing unlike some venues I was able to stay tight at the front of the stage in my wheel chair. I have loved Meth n Red since I was a kid... this was on a next level and I am pretty sure nothing will top it!
