Twista only needs the right beats to go from a sensational rapper to a superstar MC, and Kanye West supplied the music while Jamie Foxx (yes – THAT Jamie Foxx, the comedian/actor) sings the hook.

It may not come across clearly in print, but generally speaking Twista can spit four of these lines in the amount of time other rappers could barely manage two, with every line coming clearly through. I still spit it like it’s R&B, come to the club wit meĪnd when some Luther come on I hope you feelin me Now I got to go up in it fast, but I’mma finish last I done hit it from the back, to the melody and rode it slow I love the way you be holdin me when I be listenin to JodeciĪnd when I come over and bend ya ass, you be bumpin Teddy Pendergrass I touch you all over your body baby don’t say no to me You ready for the world girl, come and go wit me Let me get ya sheets wet listenin to Keith Sweatįulfillin our every temptation, slow jammin, havin deep sex While I’m smokin on a bead – dippin through the streets Bumpin R&B – and I got the leaf – on the 23’s These rims still movin so I bump a lil’ Spinners You ain’t know Twista could work it like the Whispers? “Come wit me and sip on some Evelyn Champagne Twista can be unabashedly frank in his sexuality, even on a crossover lead single like “Slow Jamz”: While he is still among the most quick-tongued rappers in the music industry, the clarity of his diction makes every syllable easy to her while his humerous wit and charming delivery make the words worth listening to.
One can attribute this fact to his charismatic style. Twista has certainly cultivated a cult of loyalty, despite his scant output over the last decade. It’s a good thing too, since they kept his name popping in the industry while he released some marginally successful group albums like “Mobstability” and “Legit Ballin'” and kept his fans on hiatus all the way until 2004’s new solo album “Kamikaze.” He fared better when he signed with Big Beat/Atlantic, as his second album “Adrenaline Rush” in June 1997 scored minor hits with the singles “Emotions” and “Feels So Good.” Twista’s reputation continued to blossom, as appearances on songs like the Jay-Z/Memphis Bleek track “Is That Your Chick?” made him the clean-up man for any hot single or remix.

Unfortunately his debut on “Runnin’ Off at Da Mouth” (then known as Tung Twista) didn’t even crack 100,000 units, and he promptly asked for his release. One of the first rappers signed to Loud Records back in 1992, he was launched into fame when the 1992 Guinness Book of World Records named him the fastest rapper in the world. If the path his career has taken was a road through the windy city of Chicago, one could definitely say it was twisted.
