Wu-Tang Clan legend Method Man stopped by Kevin Hart’s Gold Minds podcast and they chopped it up. During the interview, the rap legend touched on many different topics with the comedy rock star. When asked about his thoughts on Hulu’s television series Wu-Tang: An American Saga, which depicts the story of the Wu and how they reached global success, he gave a candid response. Before diving into why he hadn’t seen an episode, he praised Wu-Tang founder RZA for changing the game. Additionally, Method Man explained that before they came out no one ever heard of groups making one giant deal and still being allowed to be signed to other labels.
“You had these three labels working together for our cause,” Meth told the comedian. Johnny Blaze noted to Hart that it was, “Unheard of, which in terms of changing the game, that’s changing the game.” Later in the interview, Method Man went on to say that seeing the story come to fruition on screen, he knew it was a no-brainer. However, when it came to actually watching the finished product, Methical wasn’t feeling it. He told the comic that many liberties were taken creating the script due to some guys having “open cases.”

Not only that, he shared with Hart, “I haven’t watched an episode personally, but I get the scripts ahead of time.” Method Man later said that it simply came down to everything not being for everybody. Kevin Hart pushed back asking if it was due to him not wanting to put his energy towards something being creative that he possibly didn’t align with. Hart continued saying, “‘I want to love it and keep it in the place of love.’” Meth quickly responded telling him he hit the “nail on the head.”
Furthermore, He revealed to the comic that he didn’t want to mess with the creative process. “Sometimes you just got to step back and keep the opinions to yourself,” Method Man told Hart. Moreover, the Hip Hop icon understood the need for embellishments and creative liberty to bring their story to the big screen. Have you watched the Wu-Tang series on Hulu?
