During a recent interview, hip-hop veteran Method Man shared his bewilderment over Drake's 2013 hit song, 'Wu-Tang Forever.' While expressing admiration for Drake as an artist, Method Man admitted he didn't understand the reasoning behind naming the track after the legendary Wu-Tang Clan. He found the title disconnected from the group's identity and legacy, despite the song sampling Wu-Tang's 'It's Yourz.'
Method Man explained that he and other Wu-Tang members were unsure about the song's title and its relevance to their group. He noted that initial thoughts about a potential remix featuring the clan never fully materialized in a way that satisfied their expectations. The lyrical content of the song, which focused on a romantic theme, further contributed to his feeling that it wasn't a genuine tribute.
Reflecting on the track's success, Method Man emphasized that the Wu-Tang Clan had no prior knowledge of its potential impact. He maintained a stance against simply participating due to Drake's fame, prioritizing artistic integrity. The rapper also touched upon the Wu-Tang Clan's recent tour, hinting optimistically at future possibilities despite the ambiguity surrounding the group's 'final' tour.
