Method Man & Redman - 4 Minutes to Lock Down ft. Ghostface & Raekwon
Artist: Method Man & Redman
Featuring: Ghostface Killah , Raekwon
Producer: Bink [for One Shot Deal]
Album: Blackout 2
Label: Def Jam
With the underground going ape in anticipation of Blackout 2, Method Man & Redman have decided to fan the flames with the release of another street single. On 4 Minutes To Lock Down, Meth makes good use of his Wu-Tang connections; after Red’s mid-energy opener, the Chef and Johnny Blaze step up to the mic for deadpan verses. Iron Man brings his trademark hyped-up delivery on the back end, assaulting listeners’ eardrums with the rapped equivalent of a repulsor ray blast. Complete with a sax-heavy beat by Bink! (sampling Brooklyn Bridge’s Echo Park), Lock Down is sure to score big with the Booth’s old-school heads. Wondering how Meth & Red manage to turn out grade-A jams time and time again? Find out in May, when they’ll be stepping into the Booth for an exclusive interview with our own DJ Z.

Method and Redman back making hot music. Ghostface and Raekwon spit flames on this as well. The production is solid the only thing is that it gets repetitive with that one note getting played over and over again. Still a hot song!

Yea this sounds like that classic WU music. Redman does his thing, but for real all three Wu members outshine him. Raekwon sounds real cool over the beat. Yea this album should be sick.

This is just OK. I definitely like the complexity of Mrs. International a whole lot better. The beat here is too repetitive and sounds too simple. I think I can make this beat in Fruity Loops(!).

Is it just me or is Meth and Red's Combacks one of the best seen in a while. These tracks they are droppin are stron@. This stays true to the WU style of production, which needless to say is lackin from mainstream music rite now. I usually talk bad about contious horns in a track, but this doesn't annoy me at all. Dope shit

I'm definitely feeling this track. I like the way it gives you that 90's old school Meth & Red vibe. Just a fresh beat with killer rhymes (Sans auto-tune).

Yeah...too old school for me. Sorry. It's Banger for what it's worth, but I gotta take away a star for the fact that it's not what I regularly jam out to. So, it's in rotation.

Their flows are good, they are skilled rappers, but I don't like the music...I just can't stand it! The song has a great energy and a good beat, but the music is too repetitive. Solid but not the best
