Twista: "Adrenaline Rush" I Was In A Zone I Knew Nobody Could F With Me, Treach Dissed Me So I ....

[Champ_KW]

Twista was in his pocket around that time. Even carried his blunt rollers across the finish line with a dope album on that Mobstability.

He was definitely in a zone, one of the most underrated rap albums. I think it got overlooked because he was looked at as a "fast rapping gimmick" but if you listen to twista he really be saying some shyt.... The production for this album matched his style perfectly. Legendary Traxster was a underrated producer as well

I made a thread years ago about Traxster making the sexiest beats of all time

oh shyt worrrrrd, the always overlooked midwest right?... i always said if both twist & do or die were west coast artists we would be discussing them as straight up legends no question

thank god bone hooked up with eazy or they might have ended up being underrated like them too who knows

its not that simple. bone had a goat-tier run that transcended regions. and its not simply because they hooked up with eazy, seeing how bone basically saved ruthless records - which is something that has gotten lost in history. the industry was trying to do to ruthless, what they eventually did to murder inc. there was no eazy-e stimulus pack in '94.

twista ran with the kanye/rocafella/dirty south stimulus packs in the mid-00s and took it as far as he could go. he wasnt stuck in the midwest and had a good run.

as for the thread, adrenaline rush gets its props as a classic, altho it fell under the radar upon release due to meh promotion and the stench of his previous run hovering over his head. but yea, its a classic album indeed. it was just too much going on back then.

do or die's debut was hit-or-miss. i never heard their other albums in full.

How was this overlooked?

Emotions & Get it Wet got plenty of radio play

it was played everywhere in the hood

if you’re talking about in terms of sales, I don’t know how it did, but the album was way too hood to appeal to white people.

Trax is one of my GOATS. Wish he was used more.

I'm saying in terms when people talk about good rap albums from 90s I don't see it mentioned too much...

Here is an example, they don't even have it as one of the top 40 rap albums of 1997

That Twista was a hood classic off word of mouth and is exactly why Rocafella wanted to sign him.

Adrenaline Rush went gold in 1999 and platinum in 2019. I remember in the mid 2000s it was always on the Soundscan Top 10 Recurrent Album sales chart aka the top selling old albums weekly.
