Method Man - World Gone Sour (The Lost Kids)

Producer: Mike Chek

Album: None (Promo Single)

Label: Def Jam

It’s unlikely but true: Method Man is now a spokes(rapper) person for the delicious candy Sour Patch Kids. We can dive into the rabbit hole of commercialism vs. “staying true”, but sometimes it’s just necessary for outside money to continue your craft. In this scenario however, World Gone Sour (The Lost Kids) seems like another hilarious way for Meth to surprise listeners while also getting a check cashed, and who could be mad at that? It’s also a pretty ballsy advertisement strategy by the Cadbury Schweppes Company, obviously giving The Iron Lung his creative freedoms for the promotional single. The video itself is the tool to deciphering this crazy promo (check it out here ), with Tical bouncing around his home as the Kids, to put it delicately, f*** s*** up. The production from Mike Chek is actually pretty good here, as are the rhymes, but something tells me this track will be known as “that time when Johnny Blaze did that crazy candy track,” which is precisely what the Sour Patch Kids were looking for. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m gonna go find some sour gummies. Eat ‘em up.

djblaze DJ Booth Crew Total Ratings: 8301	Rating: djblaze's Top Rated Songs Been Waiting for Meth to come back again. His flow is still just as tight as before and the production is pretty good on here. Sounds like one of his old Wu beats which is a good thing here. One of the better advertisement raps I've heard...
