“Gotta Slow It Dooown…”

So, I finally caught wind of Twista’s Category F5. Considering this go round was closer to the classic Adrenaline Rush than Adrenaline Rush 2007 ever was, I’d say our 3.5 Cig rating was warranted. Simply put, it’s a well-rounded mix of the two styles Twista’s consistently flourished...

At least thirty-six Chicago Public Schools students were murdered during the 2008-09 school year. That’s three Columbines, fam. Take a second and let that marinate.

“Talk To Me”- Review of Twista’s Category F5

Apologies To The Juiceman

Just after I made fun of OJ Da Juiceman and his Hooked On Phonics-sponsored tweets*, I popped in Bobby Ray’s mixtape and heard the little Gollum straight wreck his guest-verse on the track “I Am The Man.” Say what you want, but Juiceman hopped in his Cadillac...

Twista - “American Gangsta” Video

Prior to hearing this track, I was not moved to listen to Twista’s new album. He seemed like he’d lost himself trying to recreate the success of “Slow Jams” and “Overnight Celebrity.” Besides, there is entirely too much

Twista Feat. Tech-N9ne - “Problems”

“People was hating, but they zippin’ they lips up.” It’s funny how people are just now coming around to Tech-N9ne. First it was “Pauw Wauw.” Then, MIMS reached out. Now, Twista - the only other rapper who could possibly keep up - has enlisted him for Category F5....
