Obviously, Twista's not breaking down any walls with his wordplay on Kamikaze, but along the way he kicks over a few garbage cans while letting Kanye West, Toxic and the rest of his production crew move some crowds and elevate their status, one slow jam at a time.这是截至到5月15日我有的专辑列表，这半个月来新的还没有统计（大部分为Chicano），以后会不断更新，如果你想要的专辑不在列表中，请到求专辑贴回复 1 Way ANC - Prayer Of A Lunatic - 1994 (Milwaukee) 1 Way Family - Initiation To The Mob - 1999 (Memphis) 1.8.7. The song, laced with a beat worthy of an NBA introduction ceremony, features strong verses from Freeway, Memphis Bleek and Young Chris, until Twista swoops in to smoke to whatever's left of the ominous beat. Kamikaze ends with one last Roc-A-Fella posse cut, "Art & Life". Dre-impersonation you'll hear this side of Scott Storch. "Drinks" compares fine ladies to- naturally- alcoholic beverages while Toxic, who produces nearly half the album, provides the best Dr. Good thing The Gap already raped the beauty of that song. On the strip-club anthem "Sunshine", Twista nearly pisses all over what little respect he's gathered to date, sampling Bill Withers' luminescent "Lovely Day". Thankfully, Cee-Lo's shimmering chorus saves this borderline piffle. Granted, any rap song that gives a hopeful shoutout to Christopher Reeve's ability to walk is going to seem strangely off-putting. Elsewhere, the vaguely uplifting (but ultimately perfunctory) "Hope" fills Twista's "sensitive thug" prerequisite. Bombastic strings, heart-rattling urgency, and Twista's sharpest punchlines make it the star of the record. Topics like these have been drained of what little juice they might have had by, among others, the nefarious Nelly.Īside from "Slow Jamz", Kanye's production appears twice more, on "One Last Time", and later, on "Overnight Celebrity", which outdoes his previous crate-digging by jacking Lenny Williams' 70s Motown hit "'Cause I Love You". Kelly event "So Sexy"), a sequel to a song no one's heard ("Still Feels So Good") and another about rims ("Like a 24", featuring T.I., who also has a single about rims in rotation right now- sadly, his are only 22's). And if Kamikaze isn't an absolute abomination, its scope quickly reveals itself as limited: three songs about female ass (including the hilarious "Badunkadunk" and the R. While Twista could rely solely on his ridiculous verbal agility on posse cuts like Memphis Bleek's classic "Is That Your Bitch?", he hasn't got it in him to sustain an entire album. Unfortunately, based on the immediately quotable couplet, "Got a light-skinned friend look like Michael Jackson/ Got a dark-skinned friend look like Michael Jackson," Kanye outshines him completely. This aside, Twista (formerly Tung Twista) sports perhaps the most dexterous flow since mid-90s Busta, and on "Slow Jamz", he wraps his voice around a supremely accelerated Burt Bacharach-penned sample. Second, after more than a year of delays, it's the Road Runner-rapping MC's first album in nearly five years. Just peep the album cover: Dude's an acne-riddled Rescue Ranger. First and foremost, Twista is the ugliest man in hip-hop. This Luther Vandross-ripping soulfest has somehow placed Twista's third solo album at the top of this week's Billboard charts. The album's first single is the inescapable "Slow Jamz", produced by and featuring fellow Chi-town native Kanye along with comedian Jamie Foxx on the R&B-loving hook. I know because I'm here for the same reason. The reason you're reading this has a lot less to do with Twista than with super-producer/rapper/genius purveyor of chipmunk soul Kanye West.
