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

[Jigganaut]

One of my most listened to albums of all time

 

[FreshAIG]

He put Treach and The Beatnuts in a blender

 

[H. Selassie]

Old heads in Mississippi still freestyle and rap like old twista lol

I grew up there. This man ain’t lyin

yall gotta stop that "WHITE" chit.
it was more regional than a white/black thing.

twista always had white fans, at least by adrenaline rush. theyre the reason why i knew about him, and bought the album in the first place back in '98. they didnt play him on the radio up here, and it was the black folks who would ask me 'why do i listen to that'. not the white cats.

also, theres nothing especially hood about that album. its just standard gangsta gunplay content thats easy for suburbanites to follow. theres nothing intricate about the album in terms of hood content & nuances, nor is it slang-heavy. it doesnt alienate the white audience at all, even the girl records are moreso on the pimpish side, so white buls arent alienated by those cuts either.





of course it was.

i hope youre not insinuating that he was some sort of underground hood rapper in the mid-2000s. this is when he was extra-mainstream, and adrenaline rush was the album that was always name-dropped as his best work. so of course that album was on that chart thru that whole period.

Twista’s Po Pimpin def got play in NYC. I don’t know about Philly.

If you ain't gon' pop it, don't cock it

Definitely. Lol. And I feel Treach is underrated as fukk as an emcee.

 

[Marlo Barksdale]

in the mid-2000s??





youre talking industry placements.

im talking about whats really going on up top. twista was non-existent amongst east coast rap fans, aside from a few guest verses. he was never on the radio either. and im not sure why youre bringing up pimp rap as some sort of selling point. that stuff isnt popular up here.

all im saying is, it wasnt a black/white thing with twista, and his content certainly wasnt "too black".
he was just a regional guy whose bread-n-butter was the midwest and parts of the south until he clicked up with kanye/rocafella.

I was referring to 1997.

He got love from people really up on things and I forgot he was on Ryde or Die Vol. 2 also.

He was basically an underground king. His verse on "Po Pimp" set him up for one of the best rebrands ever. Don't forget how big that song was also.

That Po Pimp song was huge. That's probably why he got the guest spot on Diddy's No Way Out album in '97 to be honest.

Yup he bodied “Is This The End”

 

[HollywoodP]

Korrupt World is maybe his best song ever...he was spittin some real as shyt and flowing like a motherfukka. It Feels So Good is one of the smoothest songs ever.

This shyt goes dumb hard too

Twista didnt get white fans until overnight celebrity came out. shyt it was some folks that thought Twista on Do or Die's Po Pimp was a totally different guy/person from Tongue Twista
