I listened to 36 Chambers a while back for the first time in like 10 years. I never realized growing up that they mention smoking meth like 5 or 6 times and its not just Method Man. Its easily the drug they talk about the most. I've tried meth and its awful but addictive and has short-term benefits. It makes you focus and feel positive but also aggressive and easy to bond.
Its not surprising to me that 36 Chambers is so unique and hard to recapture knowing they were probably smoking meth a LOT. It would explain RZA's prolific & detailed beat-making. Method Man's prolific rhymes on M.E.T.H.O.D..... And also why these 9 guys got along like brothers after being thrown together.
The drugs were a big part of their albums, especially the PCP period that was probably their last really prolific time. I do not want these old guys to start getting high again for the same of music. But maybe RZA should at least try Adderall lol.
