From Tical to the Meth Lab: The Albums Behind My Name
Seven solo albums, three collaboration albums and the Wu-Tang Clan debut that started it all. Here are the records behind my name, in order.
Where did it start?
With the Wu-Tang Clan. Our first album, Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers), came out in 1993.
What was my first solo album?
Tical, in 1994, on Def Jam. It was the first solo album from a member of the Wu-Tang Clan. It went to number 4 on the Billboard 200 and sold over a million copies. Tical is still one of my nicknames.
Which solo albums followed?
- 1998: Tical 2000: Judgement Day

Three Tical albums, then the Meth Lab series: that's the run.
Which albums did I make with others?
- Blackout! (1999): with Redman. It went platinum in the U.S. and Canada.
- Blackout! 2 (2009): Method Man & Redman again, ten years later.
- Wu-Massacre (2010): with Ghostface Killah and Raekwon.
And the Grammy?
At the 38th Grammy Awards in 1996 I won Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group for "I'll Be There for You/You're All I Need to Get By" with Mary J. Blige.
Where do the albums show up in the merch?
The names stay the same: Method Man, Meth, Tical, the Wu. Look for them across the designs in the shop, on tees, long sleeves, crewnecks and hoodies.
