Method Man x Redman x Raekwon "Red Bull Spiral Freestyle" (Video)


There’s something satisfying about seeing the OGs still sharp with the sword. Red Bull’s Spiral freestyle series has brought together a legendary trio: Raekwon, Method Man, and Redman—three certified mic killers with decades of chemistry. The setting? A minimalist black-cube cipher with the camera rotating slowly around them as they pass the mic like it's '97 all over again. No gimmicks. No distractions. Just bars. From the jump, the vibe is grimy. Method Man leads off with that flawless cadence that’s only gotten sharper with age. Redman steps in next with his trademark punchlines, charisma, and a delivery that somehow feels both chaotic and in-pocket. Raekwon closes it out with his usual cryptic slang-laced delivery—slick references, smooth flow, and that unmistakable Staten Island cool. No hooks. Just three legends still rapping like their legacy depends on it. What makes this special isn't just the lineup: it’s the execution. They’re not mailing it in. Each verse is tight! It feels like a throwback to the Rap City: Tha Basement or Stretch & Bobbito freestyles, where the mic was the only focus and each verse was a statement. No one’s here for clout—they’re here to remind you. It’s short—just one verse each—but it sticks. Wu-Tang. Def Squad. Watch it below...
