Method Man’s The Meth Lab Title Track is Officially Here!

We’re getting closer to the due date of Method Man’s Tommy Boy Records Album.

It was just earlier this week that Wu-Tang member Method Man announced the release date for his new album, "The Meth Lab." 


Along with the announcement he released The Meth Lab trailer that really got viewers anxiety going. 


This animated visual gives you a taste of the hardcore persona that this up-and-coming album takes on. 


With the amazing cover art and trailer, Method Man has really lowered us into his layer with this newly dropped title-track. 


This particular song features artist Hanz On and Street Life, but the album itself contains artist Redman, Raekwon, Inspectah Deck, and features production from Ron Browz, Allah Mathematics, J57, and 4th Disciple.


In an interview with Nerdist, Meth briefly stated that he kept it real and low-key, like he does in his studio. He wanted this album to be a platform of exposure for the unheard talents of Staten Island. 


He says, “Bottom line is there’s a lot more talent to be heard from Staten Island outside of Wu Tang artists, and these kids are dope. I wanted to just give them a platform to be heard. I’m on every song, but I’m not exactly on any songs by myself, with the exception of one.”


With this clever, yet so creative album scheduled to drop August 21, 2015 this is only the beginning of his musical formula, so stay tuned for further updates!

EXCLUSIVE VIDEO: Hip Hop Pioneers Steer The Genre Back In The Right Direction With Their Performances At The Source360


If you're an avid Hip Hop fan, all your dreams would have come true on the evening of September 20 as The Source Magazine hosted their first annual Source360 concert at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY. The magazine racked up one hell of a roster as they recruited notable hip hop pioneers  like the Wu Tang Clan and Lil' Kim to grace the stage for a night of good ole fun—  and HipHopShortStop.com was front row and center taking it all in.
The streets of Brooklyn were greeted with sounds straight out of a stereo as notable group Bone Thugs-n-Harmony kicked things off to a great start being that they were the first act to reunite and hit the stage. The group put the crowd in just the right mood as they performed hits like "Crossroads" and "Notorious Thugs" featuring the late and great Biggie Smalls.


Following the Bone Thugs-n-Harmony set, the next group up held nothing back cause it's Dispet for life ya heard! The Diplomats members Jim Jones, Juelz Santana, and Cam'ron did the crowd right after they tossed hit after hit after hit; you couldn't help but to sing along. Not only did the boys have the crowd going crazy , their chemistry and interactions were so strong that on-lookers couldn't help but to acknowledge them as brothers.



The Queen Bee was the life of the party as she showed the crowd that age nor a newborn baby girl was going to slow her down from letting you know that she has still got it going on. Lil' Kim knows how to put on a show as she performed her hit singles from her Junior Mafia Days all the way to her latest tracks off her Hardcore Mixtape. Kimmy Blanco is an entity on her own but she made her set even more memorable by bringing out a couple of celebrity guests on her set like rappers Maino, Havoc of Mobb Deep and Bobby Shmurda.


And finally the moment you've all been waiting for; the headliner of the show—  Wu Tang Clan. With this reunion performance, Wu proves that they're still boss. All living members of the clan were present and accounted for as they passed the mic off to their brothers spitting hard-hitting lyrics that ultimately made history in not only the hip hop genre but also in the music industry. The chemistry the guys possessed on stage put the crowd at a lost for words and instead focused on the group in a positive light as fans held their Wu Tang forever signs high up in the air for the rest of the night.




Watch all the Source360 action come alive here.
