Method Man seemed to be focused on money back then, as he would take almost any odd job to put some money in his pocket. He subsequently became a drug peddler, selling narcotics on New York city streets and blocks. On the days when he would have been a class, Method Man spent time with his cousins the Genius (GZA) and Old Dirty Bastard (Ol’ Dirty Bastard) and rapped with them.

Method Man has always been one of the most commercially popular members of Wu-Tang. He was one of two members to have a solo track on their debut album and he became the first of the group to drop a solo album, which was titled Tical.

The hip-hop group would release six more albums, including their sophomore effort, Wu-Tang Forever. Additionally, Meth has dropped six solo projects with a seventh slated for 2022.

On top of his legendary music career, Method Man has carved out a successful acting career for himself as well. He has appeared in films like Belly, How High, The Sitter, Red Tails, and others.

In 2007, the rapper was arrested for possession of marijuana. In the end, he was booked for a slue of charges including unlawful possession of marijuana, criminal possession of marijuana, DWI, and driving an uninspected motor vehicle.

In 2009, he was arrested at his home in Staten Island for tax violations. A year later, he pled guilty to tax evasion and was sentenced to a conditional discharge, and paid a $106 thousand fine.

Education:

The Wu-Tang Clan rapper has not yet revealed the name of the school he went to. When he was in ninth grade, he dropped out of school and started doing many odd jobs to support himself financially. He later went back to school but again quit when he was in the eleventh grade.

It seems his focus back then was on money since young Method Man would do just about any odd job to put money in his pocket. He then became a drug peddler who sold drugs on New York blocks and streets.

During the times he would have been in class, Method Man spent time and rapped with Prince Rakeem (RZA) and his two cousins, the Genius (GZA) and Russell Jones (Ol’ Dirty Bastard).

The four lads rapped in street battles, concerts, events, and other small gigs but the business was not running smoothly for them.

In 1991, the group opted to team up with old friends, Jones and Smith as well as other upcoming rappers at the time including Ghostface Killah, Inspectah Deck, U-God, and Raekwon to form the Wu-Tang Clan.
