Happy Blessed Birthday to Clifford Smith Jr., better known by his stage name Method Man.

* Image of Aaliyah & Method Man (above) was taken back stage at the '95 Vibe Music Seminar Tommy Hilfiger Fashion Show. *

When Interviewed on his thoughts of Aaliyah, he said:

"The word in the hood was, she had a cockeye. Cause she always wear them shades, yahmean? But the next album came out and it was like, Whoa, she killin it on some real warrior shit. I didn’t see anyone doing what she did. I mean, Britney Spears tried but I laughed at that fuckin video. It was hilarious, yo. I liked that song Britney bit, where Aaliyah had the snake [“We Need a Resolution”]. It was deep. Aaliyah was our pop princess. To be associated with R Kelly in any way at that point in time, that was street credibility. Some people just have that “it” factor, where it doesn’t matter where they’re at, they appeal to both sides. White kids adored her; that’s a hard bridge to cross right there, man, but she had a lot of talent. And when you meet the girl there’s a level of comfortability I can’t even describe. Her and a friend of mine were best friends, so we used to hang out. We went to Universal Studios [to a photo booth], you know those little corny sticker pictures? We used to go do stuff like that. I remember watching a home movie of her and her friends portraying the Spice Girls, that was kinda kooky. It was like being around your little sister. It wasn’t Aaliyah the big superstar. It was just Baby Girl. I’ve always said that a comedian ain’t funny to me if he try too hard to be funny. Same shit with sexy. Aaliyah didn’t have to try hard. She was a total package as far as singing, dancing and entertaining. She was killin all that, and it was a relief to find out she actually ain’t cockeyed. And her moms was mad peace but very stern, remind me of my bougie aunts and shit. Not bougie in a bad way, but you know, Nigga I ain’t havin it. " - Method Man on Aaliyah

Method Man was part of the Rap group Wu-Tang Clan.

DID YOU KNOW: Wu-Tang clan wanted to work with Aaliyah (who was at the time a high demand artist)? RZA wrote Gravel Pit for Aaliyah.

Revisiting the Golden Era: Exploring the Legacy of 90s Hip Hop Music

The 90s were a golden era for hip hop music. The decade saw the emergence of some of the most talented and influential artists in the genre, as well as a proliferation of sub-genres and styles that continue to shape the landscape of hip hop today. From the gritty, socially conscious sounds of Public Enemy and N.W.A. to the smooth, melodic grooves of A Tribe Called Quest and De La Soul, the 90s were a time of experimentation and innovation in hip hop music.

One of the defining features of 90s hip hop was its focus on social and political issues. This was the era of the Rodney King riots and the LA uprising, and many artists used their music as a platform to speak out against police brutality, racial inequality, and other forms of oppression. Public Enemy's "Fight the Power" and N.W.A.'s "F*** tha Police" were two of the most iconic protest songs of the decade, and helped to inspire a generation of activists and advocates for social justice.

At the same time, 90s hip hop also saw the rise of a more lighthearted, playful style that focused on partying and having a good time. This was the era of groups like Naughty by Nature, Digital Underground, and the Beastie Boys, who blended funky beats, catchy hooks, and irreverent humor to create a new kind of hip hop that was both entertaining and accessible.

One of the most influential groups of the 90s was A Tribe Called Quest, who helped to define the sound of jazz-infused hip hop. Their debut album, "People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm," was released in 1990 and featured a unique blend of samples, live instrumentation, and poetic lyrics. Over the course of their career, A Tribe Called Quest would go on to release several classic albums, including "The Low End Theory" and "Midnight Marauders," and would inspire a whole generation of artists with their innovative sound.

Another influential group from the 90s was Wu-Tang Clan, who emerged from Staten Island, New York in 1993 with their debut album, "Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)." The album featured a raw, gritty sound that was unlike anything else in hip hop at the time, and was an instant classic. Wu-Tang Clan would go on to release several more acclaimed albums, and would become one of the most influential and respected groups in hip hop history.

The 90s also saw the emergence of a number of talented solo artists, including Tupac Shakur, Notorious B.I.G., and Jay-Z. Tupac, who was tragically murdered in 1996, was one of the most gifted and charismatic performers of his generation, and his music continues to resonate with fans around the world. Notorious B.I.G., who was also murdered just a few months after Tupac, was a master storyteller and lyricist, and his album "Ready to Die" is widely considered one of the greatest hip hop albums of all time. Jay-Z, who started his career in the mid-90s as a member of the group Roc-A-Fella Records, would go on to become one of the biggest and most successful solo artists in hip hop history.

In addition to these more well-known artists, the 90s also saw the rise of a number of underground and alternative acts, including Mos Def, Common, and The Roots. These artists often took a more experimental approach to hip hop, blending elements of jazz, funk, soul, and rock to create a sound that was both unique and challenging.
