Meth grew up just like any the other member, but probaly has had the most successful career out of all of them. Method Man went to school with such other members as: U-God, Cappadonna, Inspectah Deck, and Ghostface Killah.
Meth's wonderful life has lead him into a world of different styles, because he does his thing with a lot of different kinds of people. But, he got his popularity first when he made the song "Method Man," and when he was the first of the members to release a solo album. He's also done so many song with other people in the past, it's crazy. He's been on songs from their first album (1993), Enter the Wu, all the way to songs with rock bands such as Limp Bizkit, and other R & B tracks. Words that can be heard on many method man tracks are 'Tical', which is the term meth uses for marijuana, 'Raider Ruckus', Raider Ruckus is his drug dealer, and P.L.O Style. He has released two solo albums and a duo album with redman in the past. Tical, which was the only solo release album by any member of the Wu to sell the most even though, the rest reached gold or higher. One of the songs on the album Tical, named 'P.L.O. Style' turned to be a very influencial song on the Wu, because a lot of the terms used in the song are still used by the rest of the clan. The term Tical and P.L.O. style can be herd from him a lot. That was his first release in late 94'. The biggest hits off 'Tical' would be 'Bring Da Pain', 'M.E.T.H.O.D Man', 'All I Need', 'P.l.O Style', and 'Mr.Sandman'. His second solo album is called Tical:2000 Judgement Day, came in November of 1998. Judgement day show the darker side of Meth, and also has many guest apperances, even Donald Trump and Janet Jackson. The first single off the album was 'Judgement Day' followed by 'Break Ups 2 Make Ups'. Both Tracks were commerical tracks and 'Break Ups 2 Make Ups' was big with the ladies. My Favorite Song off the album is 'Play 4 Keeps' which featured Streetlife, Inspectah Deck, and Mobb Deep. His Third album was a duo album with label mate Redman, entitled 'Blackout'. The Third album is a very commerical album, and Erick Sermon produced most off the album, and the RZA only produced 2 tracks (In My Opinon they are the 2 best tracks). The Album came out in the Fall of '99. The first singel was 'Tear It Off' which wasn't to much off a hit. The second single 'Da Rockwilder' is a very commerical track produced by, of course, Rockwilder. The Third single is 'Y.O.U' and is produced by Erick Sermon. Its said that the next single off of the album will be 'Run 4 Cover', which in my opinon is the best track on the album, which features streetlife and ghostface killah. Def Jam tried to make Method Man release his third solo album at the end of '99 but it never happened. Word is that it might be out by the end of 2000.

He went on the Hard Knock life tour featured with; Jay-Z, Redman, DMX, Dj Clue , and himself. At the same time MTV made a documentary of him. The documentary included parts of the tour and also an interview with him. Meth says when ever he is one tour or is doing an interview or something else of that matter, he always has to have his water. Once he gets his water and keeps on getting it, he'll be cool. On this tour Redman and Meth also wrote most of the album Blackout.

Another thing Meth has accomplished is a movie career. He landed a spot in the 99' hit movie by Hype Williams, Belly. Method Man also odishioned for the roll of Boba Fett for the new Star Wars movie, but no one knows if he got the roll or not. Now he has found time to go on tour with partner Redman to promote the platium selling album, Blackout. Special Guest Appearances on this tour inclueded that of Ghostface, Streetlife, and CappaDonna. In the years of 99-2000 Meth has changed a lot more. Some people say they don't like him anymore, and that he is commerical. He appears with Redman on a D'anglo song, and Meth and Red can be seen in a video of Sisquo. 'The Thong Song'. Well... Yes. Method Man did change his ways. Method Man has also done work with the Ruff Ryders on a track called '2 Tears in a Bucket' with Redman and Sheek from the LOX. I didn't really like the idea of meth doin' work with the ruff ryders, I liked the old method man music a hell of alot more then his new shit, but you cant really blame him if he wants to make commerical music just to make some $$$$, everybody wants the cash. In 2000, Method Man also did a spot in the movie, Black and White. This movie also featured Raekwon, Ghostface Killah, Inspectah Deck, Masta Killah, Mike Tyson, Illan Iverson, and many other famous people. Method Man and the Rest of the Wu (Except ODB, who is in rehab) are workin' on the wu's third lp which could be out by the end of 2000, but i doubt it. The Album has had to different titles so far, this are the ones im hearing, Wu-Tang: The 8th Diagram and something like The Core of The Apple. Word is that it is also a triple album!
