Though Method Man’s walk across palms may look spontaneous,
it’s actually the result of some careful calculation. “It’s gotta be a
jam-packed mosh-pit crowd,” he says. “Everyone’s gotta be stuck
together, or you’ll fall.” Meth saves the move for a special moment
at every Wu show, but he’s not saying when. “If people know
when I’m gonna do it,” he explains, “they’ll drop my ass.”
