Method Man learns that the IRS ain’t nuthin ta f%#k wit.
Grammy-winning Wu Tang Clan member and solo artist Method Man has been arrested in New York on felony charges for failing to pay his taxes.
The 38-year-old rapper turned himself into authorities on Monday morning, after failing to file a return or pay taxes from 2004 to 2007.
He owes a reported $33,000, and could face up to four years in prison if convicted.
Can you brag, in song, about a prison stint for tax evasion? I mean, on one hand, there’s the whole Al Capone thing. But on the other, this is the whitest-collar crime possible.

“turned himself into authorities ”
Now that’s a great trick. I’d like to turn myself into a lot of things. Yo! He got skills!

It’s a disguise so clever that not even Redman would recognize him.

$33K for three years of non-payment of taxes? I think someone lost several zeroes in the preparation of that original article.

Either that or I make more money than Method Man, which makes no sense because I am not the one who co-wrote C.R.E.A.M.
