Method Man Gives Advice To Bobbi Kristina

Legendary rapper, Wu Tang Clan's Method Man, has been making amazing music for the past 20 years, and after releasing countless albums, Method decided to conquer the world of acting.

Method Man has transitioned into the world of acting quite nicely, and he's recently taken a step back from the big budget Hollywood movies to experience the creativity of independent films.

Method Man is the star of the independent film The Mortician, which follows the life of a man who lost his mother as a child.

Unfortunately, his character never got the chance to grieve his mother's death, and eventually grew up to be a cold emotionless mortician.

GlobalGrind spoke with Method Man about his acting career, his new movie The Mortician, and got his thoughts about the untimely death of legendary Whitney Houston.

Check out the exclusive interview below!

As you know, music has lost a legend, Whitney Houston. Your character in the movie lost his mother at a young age. If you could give any advice to Bobbi Kristina about dealing with her mother’s death, what would you say?

I would give a little advice to the media, they need to leave them alone and let them grieve for their loved ones, man. She was a public figure, but in the same breath she’s a human being with a family. The baby girl is traumatized right now and she’s not getting the proper respect that she should have when her mother passed away.

I think that the media put a horrible spin on it, especially the New York Daily News, which on the front page read, “died broke.” What does that have to do with the legend that was Whitney Houston?

Honestly. Are we judged by how much money we make or how many lives we touch?

There’s nothing I can honestly say to that young girl to make her feel any better because I haven’t lost any one of my parents. But I lost friends, loved ones in the past and I know, when you want that private moment, you don’t need anybody else butting in.

Whitney Houston's Untimely Death Shocks Hip-Hop

Superstar Whitney Houston's death today has had a surreal effect on hip-hop. Although Houston was known for pop and R&B ballads "I Will Always Love You" and "I'm Every Woman" from The Bodyguard soundtrack to the dance staple "I Wanna Dance With Somebody," her music and artistry have left an indelible mark on hip-hop. Legions of famous fans took to Twitter to share their sadness.

Wu-Tang's Raekwon shared, "I can't believe I'm hearing this new [sic] about the great whitney houston! r.i.p may she rest in peace" and added "My moms loves that lady," showing just how far-reaching and cross-generational Whitney's talent really was.

Diddy, who shared a mutual mentor in music impresario Clive Davis with Whitney, tweeted, "Whitney Houston!!! OMG!! I really can't believe this.. This is one of the saddest days ever.." UGK's Bun B sent love for Whitney and her family, "Incredible talent. Tragic downfall. Prayers for Miss Cissy and her daughter Bobbi. #RIPWhitney."

Earlier today, reports surfaced that Whitney Houston died suddenly in Los Angeles at the Beverly Hilton Hotel at the age of 48. Her representative Kristin Foster confirmed the singer's passing. Further details on the cause of death remain unknown.

Houston, the daughter of gospel singer Cissy Houston and the late John Houston, was discovered by Arista Records honcho Clive Davis in the early-1980s and he would go on to guide her career to the tune of 170 million albums sold. The iconic singer's hit songs — from "The Greatest Love of All" to "I Will Always Love You" — are now radio staples and firmly entrenched in the pop music canon.

Her influence can be heard on a generation of young singers who cite her as an inspiration, from Mariah Carey, Brandy and Monica to Christina Aguilera and Beyonce.

But Houston was dogged by her demons. In a 2009 interview with Oprah Winfrey she detailed the years of addiction and the toll they had taken on her personal and professional lives.
