VERSE OF THE MONTH: REDMAN FEAT. METHOD MAN- Lalala
REDMAN & METHOD MAN are the standard of iconic duos in Hip-Hop. The one-two punch of Funk Doc and Johnny Blaze has produced some of the genre’s most memorable tracks. Under the Def Jam label, they’ve ran amuck since the mid-90’s. While they would link for feature projects, it was 1999 when they released their full-length collab project Blackout!
Redman released his long-awaited sequel Muddy Waters 2 on Christmas Eve last year. Fans were treated to a 32-track demonstration that had dope features from Hip Hop’s elite MC’s. The real gift, however was the fact that the Brick City MC still has it lyrically. The Straight Official Magazine Verse of the Month comes from track 6 titled “Lalala.”
REDMAN “LALALA” FEAT. METHOD MAN
[Verse 1: Redman]
Yo, now everybody welcome me back like I’m Kotter
It’s ’90s ugly, I’m in the mirror like Shabba
America’s most blunted, Cheech and Chong say I’m don dada
A bounty hunter for the sour, I’ma
Hit your hood, I’m in pocket, how I get around (Yeah)
I’m on my toes like a midget in a urinal
Whoever your connect, boy, better tell ’em (Yes, sir)
I’m looking for the killer, I’m tryna catch a felon
[Verse 2: Method Man & Redman]
I’m looking for who’s selling, Mary cooking my cerebellum
I pen and tell ’em, my art is war, Machiavellian
By day sevеn, see what you’re smelling is me inhaling
You see that sеven of seven seas, call me Magellan (Let’s go, Meth)
I’ll call the reverend, MAC 11 and split your melon
If that don’t get him, a honeydew, in a split second
America’s most, put us both in the smoke section
With no sticks and no seeds and no exceptions (Haha)
LALALA cont.
[Verse 3: Method Man]
Ayy, blunt brothers, you got the herb, the blunt covered
You came to beef with a butter knife, that don’t cut it
Just cold busted, wild style when I cold crush it
The Gilla House got a gilla monster, I’m cold blooded
You are ready, I run with Reggie, I don’t puff it
We like De Niro and Joe Pesci, but low budget
Bunch of buzz killers, buzz buggers, they asking how he do it
Ain’t no Nike to it, I just does it
[Verse 4: Redman]
Ayo Meth, I got the granddaddy and I’m listening to Bob Marley
I tear the roof off the porch like it’s House Party (Let’s go)
I got the new edition, that green homie, it’s a killer
Ralph, Ricky, Mike, Bobby, Ronnie, and Johnny (Woo)
Niggas say they got gas, but it’s all gas
They talking like a podcast, nigga, haul ass
I never share and I don’t pass the clip
‘Cause that shit on his lip got some shit on his lip, nigga
