The litle town of Carrboro, N.C., was live and popping when Method Man and a few of his WuTang clanmates recently performed in the storied Cat's Cradle music hall. Awesome show in front of a soldout crowd of mostly white boys from the neighborhing UNC-Chapel Hill campus, just down Tobacco Road from Duke University. I witnessed the power of music over race relations as those clean-cut Tarheels shouted every word to every song with Meth (waving their hands in the air like they just didn't care!). They held Method Man on their shoulders when he took a dive and fearlessly proceeded to walk across -- on top of -- the audience from the stage to the bar in the back. Meth's in good athletic shape, still has good breath control, and has enough of a repertoire to rock the spot. He was particularly engaging in a small club setting. My first hiphop experience with a room full of white boys. Don't stop the party rock!
