Starting off Halloween week with a double dose of Method Man, with the album opener and the apocalyptic title track off his second solo album, Tical 2000: Judgement Day.
The album was released in late 1998 and played heavily off the many theories going around that the world was going to end as we knew it as we joined the next millennium. The album intro has a new year's countdown that ends with an explosion to set the tone for what follows.
Perfect World is the first proper track on the album and Meth lays out the scene for us all to see over a creepy RZA beat. The picture he paints is horrible even though Meth's character sounds right at home.
Perhaps the most disturbing thing about the track is that the more you examine the lyrics, the more you realise that he's not necessarily describing a far off land but that much of what he's talking about us going on in the streets today.
The intro to the title track which acts as a closer to the album is about a minute long and has the Ticallion Stallion growling some warnings of how civilisation collapsed with some disturbing groans in the background before he descends into horrible screams of "I like the death, I like the misery, I LIKE THIS WOOOOOORRRRLLLD!"
As the song kicks in proper with a futuristic instrumental co produced by Method Man & 4th Disciple, Meth lays out just how fragile society is and how easily it could fall into a nightmare scenario following a catastrophic event.
The video is available below and also well worth checking out for the apocalyptic imagery and Meth looking creepy as fuck!
