4:21 Sales?

Has 4:21 really gone gold? The last numbers I saw put it at around 350,000 or so. Gold is 500,000 Lilwyte 00:21, 6 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

High school

Clothing

Wasn't Method a part of a clothing campaign? I seem to remember him wearing a certain brand of clothing in magazine ads. Any ideas?

he's been a product spokesperson for Ecko, Johnny Blaze and i think there is one other.

Method Man - Kung-Fu

I had a thing on here before about how Meth took his name from a Kung Fu movie called Method Man. I'm trying to figure out why it was taken off.

edit::

nevermind i see it was incorporated into his intro paragraph.

The article's definition of freestyling

The section that defines east coast freestyling as pre-written stream of consciousness style rhymes seems incorrect to me. Freestyling in every part of the country is defined as rhyming, stream of consciousness style or otherwise, off the top of the head.--Wonderashe 02:57, 17 July 2006 (UTC)Ashley[reply]

I love Method Man but this article has tons (tons) of biased writing... Just look at the album descriptions.

Yeah, the status for 4:21 really needs to be removed. Nylex 18:00, 26 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with this writer. As one of his sister mentioned in the article, there are a lot of bias and misinformation in this article. Method Man was born on March 2, 1971. Every year I have people sending me emails or calling me on April 1st telling me to tell my brother happy birthday. "I tell them no problem I will tell him happy belated for you"

Birthdate?

Why does it say that he was born on both April 1, 1971 and March 2nd, 1971? Which one is it? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 209.244.187.212 (talk) 15:11, 13 April 2007 (UTC).[reply]

His birthday used to be April 1st on here, but someone changed it to March 2. I think March 2 is his birthday, because on the song "The Motto" off of "The Prequel" he said "I'm a Pisces"... If he were born on April 1 he would be an Aries. But on IMDB it still says April 1st..--Tainted Drifter 10:11, 3 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I am the person that changed his birthday. I am his older sister and I am getting tired of people calling and sending me messages a month after his actual birthday telling me to wish him a happy birthday for them.

Which fool putted 1972 up in here that aint true? his birthday is mar 1

Λ== ACTUAL BIRTHDATE ==

OK, REFER TO THE "WU-TANG FOREVER" ALBUM BOOKLET, IN ONE OF THE LAST PAGES THEY HAVE A PAGE FOR FANS TO ORDER A "WU-TANG ID CARD". AS AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT IT WILL LOOK LIKE, THEY HAVE ONE MADE FOR METHOD MAN, THE "DOB" SAYS "3/4/??". IT'S HARD TO SEE, BUT IT'S THERE. ALSO METHOD MAN MENTIONED HE WAS A PISCES ON THE SONG "THE MOTTO" OFF OF "TICAL 0: THE PREQUEL". IF HIS BIRTHDAY WAS APRIL 1ST HE'D BE AN ARIES. THEREFORE HIS BIRTHDAY IS DEFINITELY NOT APRIL 1ST, JUST BECAUSE IMDB SAYS SO DOESN'T MAKE IT TRUE. NOW ACCEPT FACTS AND QUIT CHANGING IT TO APRIL 1...--Tainted Drifter 01:58, 8 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

nah he's actually born on march 2..

he says he was born on the same day as dr seuss in a few of his verses..

word.. he also says that line about him beeing a pisces on "the motto"

so yea.. thats his birthday Meth's real birthday is 03/02/71

Then why do these MORONS keep changing the DOB to April 1st?!Tainted Drifter 12:20, 11 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Because the Wu homepage says it..

Oh yeah? Then why did Method Man say himself he's a Pisces? And that he has the same birthday as Dr. Seuss? Dr. Seuss birthday is March 2nd...and if he was born April 1st he'd be an Aries. I guess a website knows better than the artist himself, huh? Tainted Drifter 04:43, 18 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

BIRTHDAY, FOR THE MILLIONTH TIME

What is it with this? Every single time I edit his birthday to March 2, someone, right away, edits it back to April 1. I even got "threats" from want to-be authoritative Wikipedia figures that they'll suspend my account if I continue to "vandalize" the article. All I'm trying to do is state his CORRECT birthday.

Can any of you tell me why Method Man would say that he's a Pisces in the song "The Motto" if he was born April 1 (which would make him an Aries)? Also, can you explain why he's mentioned that he has the same birthday as Dr. Seuss, which is March 2? No, really, can you? Or because "it says his birthday is April 1 on the Wu-Tang homepage" means that's it for sure? Does the website know better than the artist himself which day is his birthday?

Also, are lyrics valid enough citation for proof? 'Cause if so: "Yo, I was born on the same day as Dr. Seuss; Plenty of friends, henny and gin, who got the juice?" - Method Man

I'm going to continue to change it to March 2, until this matter can be settled.--Tainted Drifter (talk) 02:27, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Biased entry

I couldn't help but notice that within the first section of the entry that the Wu Tang was named as the best. The last time I checked, simply naming them the best implies opinion, and that is not permitted as per Wikipedia quality standards. I don't dispute the fact that Wu Tang is ill, but in an encyclopaedic entry it is inappropriate to provide opinion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Warhead001 (talk • contribs) 02:10, 18 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
