Got hot and stayed hot.
Backed by a whole lot
Of patience and prose.
And a whole lot of thought.
One of my all-time favorite artists is from the Wu-Tang Clan: Method Man.
A style of “clowning” that I had never seen in the 90’s scene. This wasn’t white man clown-college. This dude was “clowning” in hip hop form. In a more indigenous form.
Aggressive, smart, comedic, and creative. Loose on the mic and action.
Method Man’s influence and creative spark helped me in my travels. Some of these travels were in the diciest parts of America. I learned that I could potentially dance and clown my way to safety.
Method was a “Wu-Tang Grand Master” of defense skills inadvertently in my college years. I learned that if I can clown like Method Man, I could go anywhere without being messed with.
“What would Method Man do in this situation?” I would ask in troubling situations.
This led to acting really weird in future real-life street situations in order to keep drifting.
Thanks Method Man! You got me out of situations.
