Method Man Recording "Last Album"?

First things first: I have to correct yesterday's review of the Wu-Tang concert (which I attended) at the Town Ballroom on Monday, which stated that the Killa Bees onstage were "the RZA, Method Man, Ghostface Killa[h], Inspectah Deck, and Cap[p]adonna. The audience immediately did the math - no GZA and no Raekwon." The cryptic "guest writer" is wrong; Ghostface was not there, and he seems to have either forgotten or dismissed Masta Killa, who was onstage with the Clan. (Also, if anyone can help me out, there was another person on stage who I couldn't identify - I was nowhere near the stage.)

On to today's post: Method Man - who was easily the best entertainer of the entire group on Monday night - is reportedly "officially working on his last album produced by the RZA," according to an also-cryptic post on the official Wu-Tang Facebook page. It's not clear whether this will be Method Man's last album ever, or just his last album produced by the RZA, but either way, this is good news for Clan disciples. Method Man sounded the most energized of all his comrades on the group's last release, 8 Diagrams, and if RZA is producing the entire album, it'll be the first non-RZA Wu-Tang solo project full of his beats since Ghostface's 1996 Ironman, unarguably one of the last of the Clan's solo classics.

Assuming it'll be released in 2012 (a brash assumption), it's just one more thing to look forward to in the new year. Not interested? Come on - this is the guy who on Monday night encouraged the crowd with the following statement: "Just want to say thank you to the Buffalo Bills for exposing Tim Tebow last Sunday."

  1. You must have been, "no where near the stage".

    1) ghostface was there
    2) the other wu member you were unable to identify is u-god.

    Refer to your own guest writer as 'cryptic'?
    Talk about bite the hand that feeds you!

  2. Tim Tebow is awesome! Jesus Christ rules! Method man you'll be burning in liquid fire, i.e., lava, if you don't turn from your sins and repent before Judgment day. Just sayin
