Over the weekend, the legendary rapper Method Man and Redman took the Summer Jam stage and killed it!
However social media clips and what actually happened in person might be two different things, at least according to Method Man.
On Hot 97’s recap post the legendary rapper took to the comments saying:
Not our crowd at all.. thanks again, New York and the whole tri-state (that showed up to the event) plus Pete and Ebro I got love for you guys, but never again.. at this point the generation gap is just too wide for me.. #nevercomingback
and
It’s all love! @oldmanebro x @methodman #Hot97Summerjam pic.twitter.com/sdlj8dKesO

People responded to Method’s comment saying sometimes it you have to know when to fold them:
@methodmanofficial sometimes you gotta know when to fold’em nuthn wrong with that.
and another said:
that’s really gracious, it’s really a different world. But those who know, know. We love ya!
and another said:
@methodmanofficial ???????????? I would have lost my shit to see this performance they don’t know what they were witnessing live ????????????
Reactions on twitter have been swift some blaming Hot 97 some applauding Method for being self aware.
Hot97 be ashamed of yourselves. Hip Hop icon Method Man is never coming back because as a result of watering down the bill & not gatekeeping Hip Hop standards you let anyone perform to keep up with social media trends.
Congratulations YOU ????????played yourselves! #Hot97 #SummerJam pic.twitter.com/G7NtI1TsQq
