Video: Method Man Wants an Album with Ghostface & Raekwon

Thursday, July 23rd, 2009

Meth told MTV News that he doesn’t wanna do a solo album right away and that he wouldn’t mind doing another group project.

So, let me get this straight: Method Man just got finished getting chewed up by the Internet Soldiers, he sees Raekwon realeasing this album that Ghost helped him with and this is what he thinks of. It’s pretty obvious he’s tapping the nicest spitters [||] from Wu to do this with him, it’s not like he’d do this with Deck (no shots!). But seriously, imagine a whole album that sounds like “Wu Ooh”… that’d be fire. If this ever does happen, they should just call it Yolanda’s House.

Open Letter to Tip from Alfamega

Thursday, July 23rd, 2009

page1page2

Click either image above to read Alfamega’s 2-page statement.

There’s no way to sum it up really, I sorta feel like he has a point here. In the letter, he says what he has to say and it was just enough to get the point across without it coming off as tacky. Sorry Buck. I can’t say I know all the details of him being let go, but it seems a bit unfair that Tip turned his back on him like that when Mega literally went to war for Clifford, even if it was over snitching to the Feds. Like he says in the letter, they were saying the same shit about Cliff when he got such a short sentence… Which may have been one of the reasons T.I. was so quick to cut him out of his circle. Anyway, it’s none of our business, even though they kinda awkwardly made it in our business. And before you say anything, anything at all… just know:
