Vol. 5, No. 8, August 2009, Entertainment
Mad Men
Method Man, Redman and Ghostface Killah will appear at the House of Blues August 13 at 8 p.m. Tickets are $30, $40 and $45.
Method Man, Redman and Ghostface Killah are teaming up for a hip-hop tour of epic proportions. The Footprint in Hip Hop Tour is part reunion of musical brothers, part celebration of Meth and Red’s newest collaboration, Blackout! Vol. 2.
Ghostface also appears on the follow-up to 1999’s Blackout!, which has been 10 years in the making. Both Method Man (also known as Clifford Smith) and Redman (nee Reginald Noble) have been busy in the years since their first album, and both have separate careers outside of their partnership, but the bond created in the pair’s childhood has never been broken.
Ghostface Killah (real name: Dennis Coles), who, along with Method Man, is a member of one of the greatest hip-hop acts of all time, the Wu-Tang Clan, is currently working on a solo album that is expected to be in the R&B vein.
Hip-hop may have changed, but Method Man, Redman and Ghostface Killah have returned to stake their claim in the genre’s future.
