I think Method Man was one of the legends of 90's hip-hop that sometimes might get overlooked, because he's associated with being in a large and famous group- Wu-Tang. But to me he was the superstar of Wu-Tang. Old Dirty Bastard had star-quality but that came from being fucking crazy not from being a great artist, while Method Man had the whole package as a hip-hop emcee.The only criticism I would have of Method Man, was that although he had a classic album as a group, 36 Chambers. He failed to produce a classic album as a solo artist. He had a couple of classic cuts as a solo artist with "All I Need" and "Bring The Pain", but him and Rza should of took more time and turned that shit into something on the level of an Illmatic or a Ready To Die.Also notable, is that he was a part of two successful groups and successful as a solo artist, which not many artists can say that they went platinum in 3 different ways. With Wu-Tang he went Platinum, solo he went platinum, and as a duo with Redman he went platinum. And him and Red even had cuts like "Headbanger Boogie" that will go down as classics... so Meth has got to be remembered as one of the greats.
One of my favorite MC's from the East Coast, but after his first album his albums have been kinda weak.

I kind of throw Meth and Luda in the same boat. Incredible lyrically but album catalogs leave alot to be desired. 420 was and still is my shit though from Meth.

Luda's fans are probably 90% female and most of his music is for the clubs. Meth's signature style is that grimey shit. I agree about what you said about his catalog but I just don't think Luda's name deserves to be mentioned in the same sentence as Meth

So what if Ludacris' fans are women. Meth has made tracks for them too lol. Meth's style was really nothing IMO, hence the name Method Man because he could rock ANY style, grimey, club, lyrical, cypher, didn't matter. Luda does his thing for sho, where I rank him I don't know. But definitely like I said before, their catalogs leave something to be desired.
