During this current era of Hip-Hop, Mental health has been at the forefront of many meaningful conversations within the genre. Most notably, during an interview with New York rapper Fat Joe on his new Starz series “Fat Joe Talks,” rapper and actor Method Man opened up about his struggles with depression. The 53-year-old rapper didn’t hold back as he revealed that he has dealt with depression on and off throughout his entire life and went on to describe how depression has never left him.
“It never really goes away. You have, like I said, I have bouts with it and things.”
As the dialogue between the two Hip Hop icons continued, Meth described how important it is to check in on your loved ones because you never know what others are dealing with.
“The point I’m trying to make is every now and then when you get a thought like, ‘Damn, I wonder what this person’s doing,’ act on it. Call them, see how they doing or find some way to get in contact with them. It never hurts. You have no idea how much that could mean to them.”

The Wu Tang Clan rapper revealed a lot during his sit down interview with Joey Crack. Even hinting at a new memoir about the emotional weight of his life experiences entitled “Bring The Pain.”
“It might be [titled], ‘Bring The Pain,’ because there’s a lot of that.”
Later this month, Meth will be performing alongside Lucky Daye, Ella Mai and Dr. Dre at the 2024 Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame Induction ceremony in honor of new inductee Mary J. Blige. You can also catch him as Tariq St. Patrick’s charismatic lawyer, Davis MacClean, in the final season of Power Book II: Ghost on Starz.
