WU-TANG MASSACRE

Wu-Massacre, the eagerly anticipated collaboration between Wu-Tang Clan trio Ghostface Killah, Method Man, and Raekwon will finally get released!!  Def Jam is set to drop the album on March 30.  As with most Wu-Tang projects, mastermind RZA will produce most of the tracks, with additional help from Wu-prodigy Mathematics.  Guests are aplenty, with Inspectah Deck, Cappadonna, Streetlife, Soloman Childs, and Trife set to feature. Even comedian Tracy Morgan has a non-rapping cameo.  Live band Rhythm Roots All Stars also contribute to a few tracks. These are arguably the 3 finest lyricist in the Clan, so I have high hopes.  If Meth would pay his taxes, maybe this triple barrel rhyme shotgun could tour... so put down the blunts Johnny Blaze, and get TurboTax homie.


How sick is that artwork?? 

Listen to a good mixtape version of "Meth vs Chef Part 2" on YouTube. Straight torture.

Music Video of the Year

Even in a year where music videos began to resemble porn more and more, Yeasayer melted our face, and Beyonce made "one of the greatest videos of ALL TIME",  the Boombox award for video of the year was a no-brainer... Wu-Tang is here forever, muthafuckas!

M-E-T-H-O-D MAN

The Boombox voters have spoken, picking Method Man as the premier MC in the Wu-Tang Clan, narrowly edging Ghostface Killah.  So congratulations Johnny Blaze aka Methtical, Mr Hot Nikkels, John John Blazini, Ticallion Stallion, The Panty Raider, etc... you win!

I remember fondly the days when Method Man was strictly an MC.  Granted, he still slays it when he contributes to mixtapes, Redman collaborations, and of course Wu projects, but the man is basically an icon in the acting community now, from The Wire to Garden State.  Mef always gets the best character names too:  Cheese, Tug Daniels, Drops, and Father Sha, who delivered the most memorable line in Belly: "Knowledge Bone, what's the science, baby?"  Keep it up, Iron Lung...

Watch Method Man spit two of his best verses on GZA's "Shadowboxin" and "Da Rockwilder"
