Method Man recently sat down for an interview on Math Hoffa's My Expert Opinion podcast, where he opened up about collaborating on Biggie's "The What." 

Method Man explained that he arrived to the studio, where he and Biggie started writing their lines, and Method Man later added that Biggie had pretty much wrote his lyrics by the time he showed up. He explained, "By the time I got [to the studio], Biggie’s verse was written and he told me that he wanted to end it with, ‘You can’t mess with M-E’ and I was supposed to go, ‘T-H-O-D.' But I overlapped him because it didn’t fall on beat doing it that way. That’s where the ‘T-H-O-D Man, here I am/I’ll be damned if this ain’t some sh*t.’"

Method Man added, "I wrote that shit quick as f**k. Who was I biting there? Whose flow was I [biting]? Nas. That’s biting Nas’ flow. ‘I’ll be damned if this ain’t some sh*t/Come to spread the butter lyrics over hominy grits… Coming where you rest at, surrender/Step inside the ring, you’s the number one contender/Looking cold-booty like your p***y in December.'"
