THE WACKNESS- Method Man on Hip Hop, Gas Prices and Thugging
Monday Night Conversation with Method Man
Its the summer of 1994, and the streets of New York are pulsing with hip hop and wafting with the sweet aroma of marijuana. The newly-inaugurated mayor, Rudolph Giuliani, is only beginning to implement his anti-fun initiatives against crimes like noisy portable radio, graffiti and public drunkenness.
The Wackness centers upon a troubled high school student named Luke Shapiro (Josh Peck)a teenage pot dealer who forms a friendship with Dr. Jeffrey Squires (Ben Kingsley), a psychiatrist and kindred lost soul. When the doctor proposes Luke trade him weed for therapy sessions, the two begin to explore both New York City and their own depression.
Propelled by an exuberant hip hop score, The Wackness captures the spell of 1994–a time of pagers, not cell phones; a time when Tupac and Biggie were alive but Kurt Cobain had just died. Funny and moving, The Wackness is an offbeat tale of two lost souls stumbling towards maturity.

A rapper who has some very on-point insights on geo-politics, racial identity, the fallout of the current economic paradigm, parenting, stereotype formation and perpetuation? Thanks Method Man…it’s this type of interview that we need to see more of and reminds us that rap is a reflection of society and reality. Like the jesters in the court, playwrights of then and now and comedians today, rappers can say the things that need to be said and throw the ugliness of the world back in our face.
