* DAMN...I had this record on steady repeat when it dropped...that sound fit these two MCs so well. Hard as hell showcase case two monster MCs in under 3 minutes...DONE!!! I miss this man's work he was an OUTSTANDING producer, no samples!!!...This joint STILL knocks :dance:



Oh my god, oh my god!

[Method Man]
Aaaow! (Boo!)
Uh, uh, yo, uh
Microphone checka, swingin' sword lecture
Closin' down the sector, supreme neck protector
Better warn 'em kid, Mr. Meth's a boiling pot
About to blow his lid from the pressure, too hot for TV
For sheesy, too many wanna be hard be easy
It's all N'together, going all out together
It don't take much to please me
Still homes I'm never satisfied like the Stones
We don't condone bitin' see them selling crossbones
Protecting what I'm writing
Don't clash with the Titan who blast with a license
To kill rap reciting
Come on, in the zone with ya nigga from the Group Home
TICAL! (Fuck your lifestyle!)
*Blows*
Put your lights out
Get the shit to crackin' got you fiending with your pipes out
Time for some action, surfin' the avenue
Mad at you, where I used to battle crews
Back when Antoinette had that attitude
Cover me I'm going in, walls closing in
Got us bustin' off these pistols
My niggas got issues, again, same song
Armed with the mega bomb
Blow you out the frame and then I'm gone

[Redman]
Yo, I was going 2 buck we roam, cellular phones
Doc-Meth back in the flesh, blood and bones
Don't condone, spend bank loans on homegrown
Suckers break like Turbo and Ozone
When I, grab the broom
Moon-walk platoon hawk my goons bark
Leave you in a blue lagoon lost (true)
Three nines in the glove with Masu, D-Don in the club
Right behind on a bus
Haters don't touch (what?) weigh us both up
Now my neighbor doped up
Got the cable hooked up, all channels
Lift my shirt all mammal
You ship off keys and we ship Grand Pianos
Sawed off shotgun
Hand on the pump, sippin' on a forty
Yo smokin' on a blunt
Bust my gun y'all. Red and Meth didn't jump
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, laaaaa
Yeah come on, Red and Meth didn't jump
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, laaaaa

Red & Meth

Mos Def & Talib Kweli
 
Man......this was my shit. This was when I went through my NY phase. Buying all these albums for 20 dollars. X, Jay, Beans.....this was one of them too. That Blackout album was tough.

Only shit I HATED about this song was that the bitch was like 2 minutes. Fuck that shit. Song was too dope to be so short.

215: I saw a Method Man interview recently and he said that the song "Da Rockwilder" was so short, because you didn't like the beat? Is that true?
Redman: No it wasn't true. I liked the beat, but ya see what Mr. Methman and Rockwilder forgot, is that we did do a long version. We wrote 2 more verses for the track and it just didn't feel right. It was great being a short track, so I said lets just leave it where it was, cause it just felt too long to me. And that's all it was
 
Will y'all stop using Genius to transcribe the lyrics.....those assholes can't hear rappers words for shit!

As for the topic, one of the best rap duo songs ever. I think it's the perfect length...any longer might have killed the song.

If you ever heard the first Blackout album, there's a track called "Checka" (a rip of DAS EFX's Microphone Checka) that could've benefitted from being as short as "Da Rockwilder".
