How weird was Twista's lil comeback in 2004?

[jadillac]

"DJ Play..." with Jamie Foxx was icing on the cake.

Hope he stacked all that money

 

[Davieboy86]

His recent interviews are like he's waiting for 04 again, thinking Kanye still wants to fukk with him.

 

[Sierra Mist]

What's crazy is how he just disappeared again. I'll never get why Hip Hop Legends are not treated like legends of other genres.

Because hiphop unlike other genres is about youth and being hot at the moment. Sad really.

 

[Street Knowledge]

that song "hope" was classic

^^^^^^^

For us pre SPEEDKNOT MOBSTAZ, "Adrenaline rush is GOAT" level twista fans...I wrote him off for dead for REAL before Kanye put on for chicago and revived his career.

I will always respect west for that.

Its like he had his 90s hits...then was on is that yo bytch...and he was just a memory. I thought he'd just be like on the level bone thugs is now...but dude came back something VICIOUS after slow jamz. And he made a little groove there with rnb and soul shyt with his delivery...bytches was checking for TWISTA songs??

His run from

Slow Jamz
Overnight Celebrity
So Sexy ft R. Kelly (this is still the shyt)
Girl Tonight ft Trey Songz (big hit)
Wetter
Wetter
with that video...dude had gone from gangsta ass rapper with a HATCHET scar in his face...to a player vibe?

nikka went PLATINUM followed by gold, after being dormant for like 7 years.

There's a great remix to so sexy I think. Faintly remember this.

 

[FukkaPaidEmail]

hated that shyt.

 

[Heelish]

I remember someone on SOHH said dude was GOAT

His style isn't exactly easy to adapt to the masses on a regular basis. It was a feat in itself to get him on Overnight Celebrity while still making it have mass appeal.

 

[HoLLaBaCK]

Yeezy gave him some heat, I think his flow as ill as it is comes off a bit gimmicky over time. I think the mas public can only take it in small doses.

 

[h2o_proof]

I remember riding my bike all the way down 1960 to Wherehouse on Kuykendahl (NW Houston heads!!) to get Adrenaline Rush in the summer of '97.

 

[Ray Jesus]

here's an interview with jack thriller from only five days ago



@ the look on his face

 

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

this was the last joint from him I liked

 

[AMcV'88]

^ song is fire.. so was his last Kanye collab...'Alright'
his joint w/ Pharrell 'Lavish' still gets heavy play from me.

Incidently Twista went out with "urban" sounding music. This techno vibe isn't for him.

he tried it;

This is a common misconception about other genres among hiphop fans. How hot is Creed right now?


Anyway back to the thread.

Lavish was

shyt, I even liked that "Give it up" song. Him and the Neptunes are a good combo.
