[Redman]
Microphone coming down when I have to tweak ya
(Break ya) ass, blow your ass one time, peace ta
Dj Twiz, I will leave your ass blind
Causin' ruckus for all you muthafuckas
Don't you know me and Method Man jam like smuckers
All you fools out there wanna test these thieves
You better come down wit the buddah bless then freeze
And gimme all your loot and your weed muthafucka
You just a cheesy ass sleeve, of the grass, blow your ass
Fill the blast from the past when I smoke the hash
It's that Funk Doctor Spock, got it lock
Methtical, get on the mic right now

[Method Man]
My rap guns be blazing, trails, I'm hard as nails
Society's the cage, got me locked down in hell
My mental is trapped in the shadows of rap
Casualties 'cause my reality is strapped
Criminology pays, the sun got the rays
Wit the heat seeking missiles, AKA Johnny Blaze, Ow
Hurt so good, Ow, take it to the Ow, Methtical
Bring it to your headpiece, Ow

That's that shit, that make you wanna get high
Now open that high shit, I be choking
What's that shit that they be smoking? Tical

[Method Man & Redman]

In your ass, in your ass, nigga, anybody out there wanna bring it
Bring it, bring it on, bring it on

[Redman]
We got lyrics for years for all you fuking peers
Now you think muthafukas grate to you ears
That's the freestyle, proclaim your name
Who's that nigga smoking Buddah on the A train

[Method Man]
It's the Funk Doctor Spock, rock the spot, word up
Coming through, got the Glock to your headpiece, what
Release, what, tension, when I mention
Niggas gave no competition to this shit we got here
The real shit, terror to your ear, feel the fear
Coming down, now up the atmosphere, what we doing
Up your spine, move the back, recline
Say some shit that make you wanna get high

[Method Man & Redman]
Word up, how high muthafucka, 1996, peace
Def Squad and Wu-Tang up in this bitch, yea, 1996 shootout

Funkmaster Flex

Funkmaster Flex began his career as a producer best known for his work in the 90’s East Coast hip-hop scene. His discography includes both solo works, such as 60 Minutes of Funk which received RIAA gold standard, as well as his collaborative efforts with rappers such as Biz Markie and The Notorious B.I.G. Flex’s early music served as an inspiration for other artists growing up, such as Mark

However, Flex is perhaps best known as a DJ, most notable for his show on radio station Hot 97 in New York. His show often includes special guests who freestyle, also known as the “Funkmaster Flex Freestyle”, rappers who have participated, to name a few, include J. Cole and Mos Def.

Even more notorious, is the news and gossip sections of Funk Flex’s show. Although Flex is not new at inserting himself into beef, he immortalized his position in gossip when he perpetuated the 2015 Drake and Meek Mill ghostwriting beef. The Funkmaster played reference tracks from alleged Drake ghostwriter Quentin Miller and dissed Drake on his show continuously. While he did eventually deliver on providing some “evidence” to Quentin Miller’s involvement with Drake, many criticized Flex for using the beef as promotion, even starting a petition to have him fired from Hot 97.
