In a recent revelation, Pete Davidson, the talented stand-up comic and actor, disclosed his favorite member of the legendary Wu-Tang Clan. This information came to light during an engaging interview on the popular YouTube series Hot Ones, where Davidson was prompted to share his passion for Hip Hop music and culture.
During the conversation, Davidson expressed his admiration for the remarkable talent emerging from Staten Island, specifically naming Method Man as his top choice. He enthusiastically told host Sean Evans: “Method Man. Method Man by far because he’s still doing it and he’s at the top of his game. It’s very impressive.” This statement reflects not only Davidson’s appreciation for Method Man’s ongoing contributions to hip-hop but also highlights the enduring legacy of Wu-Tang Clan in the music industry.
Davidson’s admiration for Method Man isn’t surprising, especially considering that the two shared the stage during a memorable skit on Saturday Night Live. This collaboration showcased their chemistry and mutual respect, further solidifying Davidson’s choice of favorite. In the realm of rap and hip-hop, such connections often lead to lasting friendships and artistic collaborations.
In a related update, Redman recently shared some news regarding potential future projects with Method Man. In a conversation with Red Bull, he revealed that while he is eager to dive into another collaborative effort, Method Man seems less enthusiastic about revisiting their joint project, Blackout 3. Redman expressed his desire for a new album, stating: “I want to do a Blackout! 3, maybe like 12 songs.” However, Method Man responded, indicating that their focus has shifted away from music to opportunities in television and film production.
“We are not even focused on no Blackouts! or any of that stuff right now,” Method Man commented. “Brother, we are focused on this TV and movie stuff and producing as well. We’ve got to get these stories out there.” This statement underscores the duo’s evolution as artists and their commitment to storytelling beyond just music.
The first album, Blackout!, released in 1999, was a massive hit, debuting at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 and selling over 254,000 copies. The follow-up, Blackout! 2, released a decade later, also achieved a top 10 debut, demonstrating the lasting impact of their collaboration. Since then, fans have been eagerly anticipating a potential third installment, with hopes that it might finally materialize.
Back in 2014, during an interview, both artists hinted at the possibility of Blackout! 3 being released in the near future. Method Man stated: “Well, we’re not sure when it’s gonna drop. Hopefully, it’ll be top of next year or bottom of this year. They can just expect more Meth and Red. You know? Red and Meth shit. Same shit we been doing. Smoking, drinking, stinking, the works.” This playful banter exemplifies their chemistry and shared history in the industry.
Furthermore, Method Man has made appearances on various shows, including his recent stint on The Masked Singer, where he showcased his entertaining side while donning a whimsical stud muffin costume. His elimination from the competition came after a spirited rendition of “Poison” by the iconic 90s R&B group, Bell Biv DeVoe. This moment reflects Method Man’s versatility as an artist beyond the realm of traditional hip-hop.
