Sittin' here

Yes I probably owe Bol money for this review. But after reading this pack of lies I knew I had to protect the music buying public!!!

1. Intro- Who the fcuk gives a fcuking fcuk about weed any more? Why doed it need to be legal? Some 1970s arguments based on people getting time for weed. What relevance does that have to do with 2006? Really? Trying to reach the kids through pro-canibus revolution! "Yall were dumb enough the think Method's number's up" First line and he's already bitching about being shit...
2. It Is Me- Scott Storch right? This isn't even that bad. If I was paying for a Storch beat I'd laugh at this piece of shit though. I know everybody was thinking it when they heard it aswell. The whole song is about being an old bitter rapper whose label doesn't give a shit any more. Overall it's one of the better tracks on the album though.
3. Problem- Serious have you heard the last two Eric Sermon albums? I think this beat occurs eight times over the course of the two albums. What is he actually saying on this song? Just referencing himself constantly. Like he's trying to convince himself he used to matter.
4. Somebody Done Fucked Up- "Fcuk that what's hood?" Meth wants to be young so bad! This is a standard Wu-Affiliate beat. Shit sounds like an intro but the intro doesn't stop! STOP INTRO STOP!!!!! Doesn't even switch the percussion on the hook. This shit's a head ache. Laziest form of production. What's he saying? He's saying "Wu Tang" a lot. Oh he hates the critics.... Excellent.
5. Shaolin Soldier Skit- WHAT THE FCUK??? A Socom skit? WHAT THE FCUKING FCUK????
6. Fall Out- By far the album's best track. Hard, rawkus, original, not too-forced, kinda-dark, hype. Hook's strong. Well structured, layered production. Best Method Man track since 'M.E.T.H.O.D Man'
7. Dirty Mef- That beat is a joke. Waiting for something to happen with it. Just a lame keyboard riff. Sounds like that Bobby Digital shit. ODB raps him off the track. There's no reason for Meth to show up on this song. ODB could make any beat sound good though to be honest.
8. 4:20- Is this Meth's attempt at a screw hook? That scratching is as bad as I've heard, wow the timing is attrocious. The beat is horrendous! Those drums sound like metronome. No substance. "My sex aint homo" Congratulations. Streetlife should retire. I don't know what a Carlton Fisk is.
9. Ride- see. 'Never Be The Same Again'- Ghostface Featuring Raekwon and Carl Thomas from 'Bulletproof Wallets' only not good and featuring Ginuwine.
10. The Glide- Quite like this. The way they flipped the ODB vocal's kinda gangster. Raekwon did well. Better then he has been doing. Is that U-God? U-God seems to sound good in small doses. That's La The Darkman right? He's the only 2006 sounding rapper here. Method Man doesn't let the team down. Still obsessed with homosexuality though.
11. Kids Skit- Method Man's a kiddy fiddler?
12. Got To Have It- Memphis Bleek turned this beat down in 2001. Bleek gave the tape to Juelz who thought it was a bit obvious for him. Juelz left it in the waste paper basket at Def Jam. Method Man was waiting for a meeting with LA Reid one day and stumbled across it.
13. Say- I quite like this. Although it's a very obvious bite of 'All Falls Down' by Kanye West and he does bitch like an old loser throughout. It's not too offensive.
14. Ya'Meen- Another one of those great great intros that refuses to develop. Original Jay-Z dig in there. Method Man's averageness pales into comparison when Fat Joe arrives. Wow. Styles P raps them both off the track.
15. Konichiwa Bitches- Are you serious? "Niggas suck" Oh fa sho! "Fuck it I'm salty" Oh fa sho. Sounds like a crappy mixtape track, sounds like the beat was made for the vocals on some Clinton Sparks-ness. "Konichiwa Bitches"??? Just sound like a dick-head. "Uh yeah Konichiwa Method Man"
16. Everything- Lazy chop. You can't get away with that in 2006. That's a great intro. Can't wait for it to develop.... Still waiting... Sounds like an 'Iron Flag' cast off. Gay fcuking chorus... More gay lyrics. Wow.
17. Walk On- 'P.S.A Remix'- Jay-Z produced by Just Blaze. Why did Redman show up? Really? Sounds depressed. Throw a few "Likes" in. Doesn't matter if they're dumb nonsense. Just sounds like bars.
18. Pimpin' Skit- Method Man's a gay pimp?
19. Presedential MC- YES KUNG FU SAMPLES!!!!!!!!! Very '93 sounding. A bit like the "Skunk remix" of 'M.E.T.H.O.D Man'. Boring beat... Method Man didn't even try on that hook. Fcuking hell; Raekwon kills it again. Rza can't rap on his best day. I don't know what kind of day he was having when he kicked that verse. Sounds throwed.
20. 4 Ever- Actually starts quite nicely. That Megan Rochell has some pipes on her. Although she sounds the same on every track. Can anybody say 'All I Need'? Method Man can....

Not very proffessional and not very considerate but there you have it. Method Man's latest effort is nothing short of "Disgrace". After first listen I actually wasn't offended at all, the second listen grated some-what, the third listen got me angry. The above is my fourth listen. I have since listened a fifth time... Please don't put yourself through this album!

New Marvin The Martian single 'I Hate My Job' has just been added to his MySpace. 'I Hate This Job' is out on October 2nd.
