When I think of my earliest memories of the sound and images of Wu-Tang Clan and Biggie, it seemed like some of the rawest representation of Hip Hop I've ever seen since. These were talented cats straight from the block who brought us magic in the form of classic songs and unforgettable lyrics using the smallest of resources. I can't get enough inspiration from seeing these two find their calling in life from what seemed like only, their heart, brain, talent and a microphone.

In this video Method Man kicks a rhyme you might be familiar with from his debut album Tical, one of which happens to be my favorite for the witty wordplay and imagination he uses. If you look closely to his right in the background behind people on stage you'll see B.I.G. in a haze of smoke clouds enjoying the performance.
