Clifford Smith

The famous rapper and actor Method Man starred in more than one film, but he gained his first popularity as a musician. Probably, the talent and ambitions of the artist do not allow him to stop at one thing, he feels harmoniously on stage, on the set and behind the scenes, since he is also a producer.

Clifford Smith, this is the real name of the musician, was born in March 1971 in Hempstead, Long Island. However, shortly after his birth, his parents divorced, he and his sisters and mother moved to Staten Island in New York, and his father remained in Long Island. The son, despite this, still often visited the parent.

Smith's childhood was difficult, his mother barely had enough money to feed her three children. Also, Clifford did not work out with his studies, he often skipped lessons and did not do his homework. And due to a lack of money, he even tried to work, but the young man was paid little, and the requirements were tough. He soon realized that living on the street and dealing in soft drugs would bring him much more than working as an elevator operator or cleaning a hotel.

A man does not really like to remember that life today, because there is too much negativity left in his memory from childhood.

Music in the rapper's biography appeared in the early 1990s, it was then that he became part of the Wu-Tang Clan group, which quickly became popular. At the same time, Method Man managed to stand out the most among the other members of the group, it was he who performed songs solo, including for the debut album "Enter the Wu-Tang: 36 Chambers". Later he released his own disc in 1994 called "Tical".

Clifford's attempt to declare himself was a success, the disc gained immense popularity and immediately took the leading positions in the American chart, it was sold in a million copies. The album included a hit titled "All I Need", which was later remixed with the participation of Mary J. Blige, for which the couple subsequently received a Grammy.

At the same time, the guy makes a close friendship with the New York rapper The Notorious BIG and later participates in the recording of the artist's debut album. He also collaborates with 2Pac (Tupac Shakur) and is involved in the recording of his song "Got My Mind Make Up".

Having declared himself to the general public, Method Man begins to actively work with other musicians, including a performer under the pseudonym Redman, with whom he recorded the song "How High", and later the guys shot a video for it. He also created tracks with Snoop Dogg, shot a video with him for the song "Eastside", and with Basta Rhimes in 2010 recorded the track "What's Happenin".

At the same time, Method Man does not forget about his solo career. From 1994 to 2018, he released 7 albums, the last of which was a record titled Meth Lab II: The Lithium. At the same time, the rapper began to work closely with Redman, with whom he released the disc Blackout! In 1999, and in 2009 the sequel to the disc Blackout! 2 ”, and in 2017 - its third part“ Blackout! 3 ".

Also, hip-hop artists teamed up with Ghostface Killah, and already in 2010 they recorded a joint album called "Wu-Massarce".

Today Method Man is a famous musician, which allows him to regularly organize concerts in America and other countries, to perform on the best stages. The rapper's fans are sure that soon new records will appear in his discography, which will be equally successful.

In addition to his musical career, Clifford Smith tried his hand at cinema. He first appeared on television in the 1990s, mostly in minor roles in TV series and films. However, the guy was happy with this situation, and he continued to act.

In 1997, the actor worked in the film "Cops" as Shondel, and in 1998 he appeared in the American crime drama "Belly", which grossed $ 10 million at the US box office. Then, the series "Law & Order." Special Victims Unit, and Jesse Dylan's Comedy Junkies, in which Smith played Silas.

In 2003, Method Man worked in several films at once, it was Cheryl Dunay's comedy Young Daddies and Zach Braff's melodrama Gardenland. The second picture tells the story of a television actor, dissatisfied with life, who, after a 10-year absence, returns to his hometown.

There, at his mother's funeral, he meets a girl suffering from epilepsy, who later helps him get rid of depression and start a new life. In this film, the actor got the role of the young man Diego. In 2004, Clifford tried himself as an executive producer and screenwriter in the musical comedy The MethodMen and RedMan Show, and then began filming himself again.

His filmography is replenished with the comedy drama The Cardiologist (2006), the melodrama Madness (2008), the crime thriller Sinners and Saints (2010) and the military historical action movie Red Tails (2012). And in 2015, the man appears on the screens as Tyson in Brendan Murphy's film "Lucky Number".

The next few years in Method Man's professional career were mostly serials. But in 2017 he was invited to work in the film "Where is the money". This is a comedy about a black guy who tries to find money hidden by his father in the basement of a dormitory. Everything would be fine, but only "white" students are accepted there, the guy will have to go through a difficult path before moving into one of the rooms.

In 2018, Smith got roles in the films Future World and Crimson Mint.

Although the musician has a rich biography, his personal life is not so eventful. In 2000, the man struck up a relationship with actress Preshes Williams, but they quickly broke up, and Method Man began dating Karrin Steffans. But this relationship did not last long.

In 2001, Clifford met his future wife, and soon the young couple got married. Tamika Smith became his wife. She is an aspiring actress, in the period from 2014 to 2015 she starred in 3 tapes in secondary roles. Perhaps the woman will continue to develop in this direction in the future.

Over the years of marriage, the wife gave her husband three children - two sons and a daughter. The elder boy Smiths decided to follow in his father's footsteps and, after graduating from school in 2016, plunged into music. Their youngest son is also music-minded, and once even starred in a film that his father produced.

In 2006, information appeared in the press that Clifford's wife was sick with breast cancer. How this information became known to the public is not clear, since the couple hid it to the last. The spouses did not tell about the diagnosis even to close people. Good doctors and modern medicine helped Clifford's wife overcome the disease.

Today the Smiths are doing great, the woman is raising children, and her husband continues to star in films. Despite the constant employment, Method Man maintains a page on Instagram, where he regularly uploads photos from various events and personal shots.

Method Man currently continues to record tracks in collaboration with other musicians, as well as star in films.

The film was completely filmed in 2018, now viewers are just waiting for its premiere. It stars Samuel L. Jackson, Alexandra Shipp and Richard Roundtree.
