The hip-hop star has said that his upcoming material should feature the attributes of a "classic" album.
In an interview with MTV, Method Man said: "I just want my classic. People always say, 'You already got a classic first LP', but not to me. I want my classic LP, the five-mic-er for myself. Not based on The Source's five mics but a five-mic-er to myself.
"I don't feel like I have to prove myself to anybody. But I feel like I have to prove myself to myself... This is the most comfortable I've been in my whole career, because I don't have all those obligations that I've had before... You know, doing the Wu-Tang, then the Wu-Tang solo projects, then my project, then me and Redman.
"Right now, I can do it at my own leisure. Honestly, I don't want to make an album by myself, but it's something that's required, and the fans want that, so I'm gonna do that."
The Crystal Meth will be the follow-up to Method Man's 2006 solo project 4:21... The Day After.
