Madonna: “4 Minutes to Save the World”

December 17th, 2007 by Evil Beet


Perez may be nice enough to pull this out of respect for Madge.

I am proud to say that I am fully respect-free.

Timbaland leaked this.

Madonna’s mad.

I’m thrilled.

Enjoy.

    I think this track is fabulous.. It’s pulls out all the stops! Timbaland at his best.. more infectious and loud then his past hits.

    It’ a Madonna, Justin, Timbaland single.. which is in your face and they are all there. I think it’s a great first single for Madonna. These are the people she worked with and they all are great on this record. Wicked track the best of the Divas new singles easy. Every part of the song kinda is the hook.. I am not sure which part I like best but it’s all good stuff! The breakdown at the end it hotter then hell.

    HOT!!!!!!

    I feel sorry for people that are to ignorant to see the genius of Madonna. Maybe one day you will see and appreciate that she has not only created music that has topped the charts for 25 years, but oh so cleaverly hides messages in them for us to discern. Many of her tracks have them, haters are just to stupid to find them. (not surprised!)
    4 minutes to save the world for instance has references to the Doomsday Clock that reflects the state of the world. The Clock is set to 5 minutes in the UK but Madonna is saying its more urgent. We only have 4 minutes until it strikes midnight (the end).
    She references the Law of Attraction in her lyric “if you thought it, it better be what you want” and telling us that the power to change the world is in our hands, what we think will become.

    So yes Madonna, we only have 4 minutes to save this world..maybe we can save some of the idiots like the ones commenting on here, along the way.

    The Finished exactly 4 minutes to the secound version has not really leaked on the internet. It starts with Timbo.. and end with a a breakdown with timbaland with the last words.

    The version people are refering to is the remastered version of the french radio rip. They cut out the DJ and brought out the vocals. They added a loop in the remastered version on the secound part of the main hook. That version is not even close to quality but it is better then the horrible french radio rip.

    I have heard the finished Mix at Y100 during the one and only listens we got. The track is in your face and full of hooks. Very euphoric with a total dance anthem feeling. Alot of elements are not there in the re-mastered version. It’s builds up gradually in every section of the song. The male voice (which is Justin from my Knowledge from on listen) that is underlying in the main hook is really impressive in actually 4 minute version.

    This is one of Timbaland best produced singles and this has pretty much been the word from all the luck ones who have had the opportunity to hear it legally in advance.

  8. Zacker says:

    To refer this track to a past Timbaland production, as alot of blogs and people have.

    My opinion along with co-workers about this single. It is closest to “Sexy Back” but faster and more enegenic. That is the only single we could really connect it with. Nothing on Timbalands album is this hard or fast. It sounds nothing like anything on Nelly’s cd and I am suprised people on other sites have been making a reference to “Maneater”.

    The only connection is the production style that is it. Timbo has his elements and skills that he uses on every record just like a vocalist.

    The track reminds me of what a good Star Wars Anthem would be.

  9. Zacker says:

    I prefer not to make predictions…

    However I will release word as I have heard it without allowing personal opinion to over shawdow. This song is expected to be big on radio, based on the support for it here.

  10. Zacker says:

    Madonna fans have no need to worry… Two of the other three single we heard “Give It To Me” and “Miles Away” are both pure Madonna tracks with huge hit potential. The last track we had a listen to was “Beat Goes On” which I personal hope gets released. It’s fantastic.

    Kudos people,

    Get along please.

    I already have Madonna’s track in 2 versions (short and long) and i have to say i love it !!! But i have Janet’s Feedback too and i like that song as well, and im a great fan of Britney too. I dont think you should hate on other people just becuz u dont cope their music. These are all succesful artists starting with Madonna (25 years of music carrier – hats down) and Britney and Janet who are successful as well, yeah they had ups and downs but hey, Janet’s track is going crazy on the bilboeard, i dont need to say anything about Britney (Gimmie More & Piece of Me – still hits) u need to respect them as artists who left a strong impression on the world of music cuz they wouldnt be as successful if there werent people who love their music and radios that want to play their songs. Thats all i have to say…

    Respect every artist

    Damn i was reading the 1st few comments on top and its all bout Janet vs. Madonna yo. i have to say this, im both fans of Modanna and Janet but Madonna- 4 Minutes sound so wack compare to Janet’s Feedback and Rock with U. 4 Minutes sound like all of timberland singles all in 1.. its like something we have heard for the million time. Janet feedback is way better. nice ass beat, nice lyrics and shit.. @1st when i heard Janet’s Rock With U.. it sounded like what Madonna would do or have done.. but now watching the video, i bet Madonna can’t get @ Janet’s level.
    For those people who may say Madonna is on top, nobody cant bet her.. well guess what, Madonna and Janet is tied for having the most #1 albums.. so ya’ll Madonna fans don’t talk to fast. anyway though 4 Minutes is wack end of story.. I rather perfer Mariah’s Touch my body over 4 min.

  14. Please people why compare apples to oranges?

    Janet’s Feedback is incredible (lets not forget DICIPLINE is #1 ALBUM on Billboard)

    Madonna’ 4 Minutes is incredible (im sure HARD CANDY WILL BE #1 as well)

    They are two different kind of pop artists.

    How can you people even compare the last two Janet albums to Madonna’s last two? Thats like saying who’s child is better?

    Plus remember people Janet grew up in the entertainment industry she knew of nothing else…..had a total different perspective for that stuff than Madonna – AGIAN hence they are totally different people!

    Madonna had a different type of upbringing.

    Point is each of these Goddesses are at two completely different points in there career. You just cant compare.

    Stop trying to be negative for any of them and just be positive we still have fully sane pop stars unlike some these cheesy new comers.

    I can’t wait till the album drops. 4 Minutes is nothing like Madge has done before. It’s fresh, unique, and fierce. Long live the Queen. I’m not even going to waste my time hatin’ on the other artists, because whatever I say has been said before. Although, I’m totally holding back here, it’s just not healthy. There’s other more serious problems in the world than dissing artists versus artists. Come on now, are you like 5? We should all celebrate the new upcoming songs from all this individual artists. Music lovers don’t judge. I will buy each artists’ album and just enjoy it for what it is. I support them all. They each contribute something to the world. Otherwise, we’d all be stuck listening to the same old shit over and over again. Stop hating and start dancing (like there’s no tomorrow)..

    I was honestly nervous when I first found out that Madonna was going to collaborate with Justin and Timbeland. I like all three, but didn’t think their music would be a good mix for Madonna. She has always been into the electronic thing. I myself have been a fan since ROL. That being said, I first heard the song when it was released here on Kiss radio in Boston. I LOVE IT! Who knew she could pull off a hip hop sound. She sounds awesome next to JT. If the other tracks sounds similar, I will buy it for sure. She’s timeless.

  17. coconut says:

    i think in the chorus she sounds like j-lo

  18. Anonymous says:

    Uh…sounds like another coded message from Justin to Britney – just sayin’

    C’mon boy lets pick up the stroll

    Well DONT WASTE TIME GIVE ME A SIGN TELL ME HOW YOU WANT TO ROLL

    Another line
    What I need is A YOU INTERVENTION.

    A few things I have to say about this song.
    IT FUCKING SUCKS. THOSE WHO LIKE IT ARE DEAF AND HAVE NO FUCKING TASTE IN MUSIC. THE THING I HATE MOST ABOUT THIS SONG IS FUCKING MADONNA SAYING “TICK-TOCK”. I EXPECTED MORE FROM 2 OF THE BEST ARTISTS IN THE WORLD.

  21. 4 MINS TO SAVE THE WORLD FUCKING SUCKS says:

    AND ALSO I DONT CARE ABOUT JANET JACKSON.
    ALL I CARE ABOUT IS CRITICISING THIS SONG.

    4 MINS TO SAVE THE WORLD FUCKING SUCKS. THOSE WHO LIKE IT ARE DEAF AND HAVE NO FUCKING TASTE IN MUSIC. THE THING I HATE MOST ABOUT THIS SONG IS FUCKING MADONNA SAYING “TICK-TOCK”. I EXPECTED MORE FROM 2 OF THE BEST ARTISTS IN THE WORLD.
