Method Man VS. Father’s Day [+ Other Holidays] | SoulCulture.TV

“You know what’s so fucked up? Let me tell you about Father’s Day…” says Method Man, as the Hip Hop legend proverbially rolls up his sleeves for an onslaught on the contradictions of commercial holidays.

“Dad usually holds down all the bills, keep the lights on, put the food in the house, he go out he fuckin’ fight for the bread and all that shit to bring it home to the family, go out and he KILL A MOOSE – drag that shit back on his motherfucking back so the wife can cook it…

“But when Mother’s Day come around they make mugs, they give ‘em flower pots, all kind of dope shit. You know what Dads get? We get that little construction paper tie. You know what I’m saying? It’s not a big deal… Mother’s Day they got ‘first 50 ladies free in the club, it’s Mother’s Day” – Father’s Day you don’t get that shit,” he complains.

I don’t think we should wait for one day, commercially or [for] any other reason why, to say I love you to any loved one – because nothing is guaranteed. I gotta tell you while I can tell you.”
