Method Man to sever ties with Marijuana

By The Hip Hop Writer

Rappers such as Method Man and Snoop Dogg helped to pave the way for the "weed rap" sub-genre of hip hop. Both artists have been able to cross over, while still remaining true to the weed. Meth, himself, starred in the How High movie with Redman, which is about marijuana.

Method Man has almost become synonymous with marijuana smoking. Despite this, he is looking to change his image. Not helping matters is Method Man being a part of the Smoker's Club tour with Curren$y and Big K.R.I.T. Method Man is leaving the weed alone, happy to pass the torch to Wiz Khalifa.

The reason Method Man is giving up marijuana is because of his children. During his interview with VIBE, Method Man said he did not want people to automatically think of weed when they thought of him. Method Man said there is much more to him than that, but he is not entirely leaving the culture, he is simply leaving the forefront. People always assume Method Man is high, when he is not, so he is making a change.

Ski Beatz talks Curren$y and Jay-Z, compares "Pilot Talk" series to "Reasonable Doubt"

Hip Hop Vibe Staff Writer

The history of Roc-A-Fella Records was shaped with several tracks produced by Ski Beatz. On the label's first release, Jay-Z's classic debut, Reasonable Doubt, Ski Beatz produced a number of the tracks. Last year, Damon Dash re-launched Roc-A-Fella Records and is returning the label to its former glory.

Among Damon Dash's first moves were signing Curren$y and reunting with Ski Beatz. Before his time with the re-vamped Roc-A-Fella, Curren$y was signed with Lil Wayne's Young Money. Ski Beatz recently discussed working with Jay-Z and Curren$y, both rappers have helped build Roc-A-Fella Records.

Ski Beatz has had the opportunity to work with Curren$y on both of his Pilot Talk albums. Also, Ski Beatz had the opportunity to work with Jay-Z on Reasonable Doubt. Despite Curren$y and Jay-Z being two different type of rappers, Ski Beatz has been able to draw comparisons. Ski Beatz said Curren$y's albums are like the Reasonable Doubt of the current time.

His reason for saying this is because, like Reasonable Doubt, Ski Beatz has laced both Pilot Talk albums with timeless music. People of both younger and older age can listen to the music and enjoy it for both the instrumental and the lyrics. Thinking back on his time working with Jay-Z, Ski Beatz remembered how he was convinced by Jay-Z to quit rapping to focus solely on production.
