But I don’t know what time of vibe Kanye had with me at that time. Speaking of Kanye West, was there ever talks of you signing with G.O.O.D. And if you listen to a lot of gospel rap today, he changed the way gospel rappers make their music.ĬLICK HERE TO VOTE IN VIBE’S GREATEST HIP-HOP SINGLE (OF THE VIBE ERA) TOURNAMENTĪmen to that.
Kanye was talented enough to put together his version of a hip-hop gospel song, and forced people to play it. “Slow Jamz” is a real dope song as far as me having fun and wanting my song to win, but message-wise, you have to give that to “Jesus Walks,” because it carried a positive message.
Great record, indeed, but voters thought “Jesus Walks” was greater. So I definitely feel like the song does play a big part of hip-hop history, because this song literally launched Jamie Foxx and Kanye’s careers. I remember we would go to certain radio stations where I wouldn’t have any record playing right now before “Slow Jamz” and it was like the top song, having 1,400 spins. Is that the greatest Midwest hip-hop song of the last decade and a half? Speaking of “Slow Jamz,” that song is part of our Greatest Hip-Hop Single (Of The VIBE Era) Tournament. And then rap along and you should be able to nail the lyrics a little better.Įasier said than done. With this record Twista has crafted a Chicago classic, if not a genuine classic throughout rap.You have any tips for gamers trying to get to the next level?īop your head to the double time beat-not just the slow flow of the beat. On his third album, Twista finally found the right mix between repping his hood, laying his mack down and gang banging. Although they try to advance the concept of the album, it is kinda lost based on the fact that the record does different styles so well. Some songs end with a fictional news story about shootings in Chicago, while some set the mood for the slow jam tracks. The main problem with this album is the usage of interludes. Emotions has Twista speaking on sex, while Unsolved Mystery and Korrupt World are gritty tales of Chicago’s K-Town section. Twista also mixes up the content of this album providing plenty of fast paced hood anthems, along with slow jams, something Twista has become known for over the years. Twista also knows just when to speed it up and slow it down, avoiding the gimmicky feel his first album had, and displaying his fast skills more than his second. Buk switches speeds on his verses, alternating slow, narrative raps with double time gangsta bravado. The album’s namesake track is probably the most well known, and for good reason. Traxster can set a dark mood for the gangster brag tracks, and keep it light for the slower, more sensitive songs nicely. The combination of Twista’s quick rhymes and Traxster’s dark strings and soft keys makes a great formula for the album. Most of the beats on the album are handled by the Traxster, and he fares very well. Twista keeps everything in Chicago with Liffy Stokes, Johnny P and Psychodrama’s Buk & Psyde making appearances. On his 3rd album, Twista secures production from Chicago staple The Legendary Traxster, as well as B-Hype and Toxic. Many assumed Twista was a new artist under Kanye’s wing when hearing it, not realizing that Twista has been dropping high speed rhymes since 1992’s Runnin Off at Da Mouth. The Chicago MC formerly known as Tung Twista is probably best know by his Kanye West assisted single Overnight Celebrity.
