Method Man reflects on Drake’s “Wu-Tang Forever” vaulted remix.
Method Man recently made an appearance on Carmelo Anthony and Kazeem Famuyide’s 7PM In Brooklyn podcast, where he revisited the time when Drake approached the entire Wu-Tang Clan group for a remix of “Wu-Tang Forever” in 2013.
“I like Drake. I think he’s a dope artist, he puts out some great music obviously… otherwise he wouldn’t be as big as he is,” he said. “But when he sent the record, we were overseas. And you know, some brothers were trying to write to it.”
“And I’m sitting there like, ‘I don’t like it.’ I was like, ‘What does this have to do with Wu-Tang Forever?’ I’m not questioning his artistic ability or anything. I’m just saying, from my [perspective], it was more or less like, ‘I’m not getting on that.’”
U-God also reflected on the story in an interview with MTV News in 2014. “I guess we kinda came too hard for him. He wanted us to talk about broads but at the time we weren’t in no broad mode. We were hard-body at the time,” he said. “I think later on I said to myself, ‘What the hell was I rhyming about?’ I was rhyming some hardcore sh-t; he wanted us to talk about some bi–hes … We got the track last minute. We only had about six hours to write this thing … He was talking about something totally different so the subject matter didn’t really mesh.”
