Pros:
"Hope". A few songs that aren't drenched in commercialism.
"Hope". A few songs that aren't drenched in commercialism.
Cons:
everything else.
everything else.
Hm. Twista is one of those rappers that gets your attention immediatly because of his flow and how fast he raps. The problem is, once he gets you interested by spitting words at a fast pace he makes you waste 13 bucks on his album. The album in this case for me is "kamikaze". Man, i tell you, there are so many songs on here that are drenched in commercialism its not even funny. The irritating beats on this album are also a huge point which made me hate this CD. As a matter of fact, practically everything about this album is extremely WACK. Another point about the wackness of this album that i simply must note-the lyrics. When Twista tries to be a tough-guy, he fails. When he tries to be a smooth-talker, he fails. And when he tries to rap with no attitude whatsoever, he fails. DON'T BE FOOLED. THIS ALBUM SUCKS.
1.Get me. Twista tries to open the album by doing a "powerful" song and tries to tell you whats goin' down. In my opinion, doesn't really work for him as the beat is irritating and the chorus is pointless and will leave you thinking about what you could've bought with 13 bucks besides the album that is in your cd player. Hm. Better get used to pressing the skip button here. 0.5/5
2.Kill us all. This album is honestly going to "kill us all" if listened to frequently. Twista tries to be a tough-guy here, sptting thuged-out gangsta lyrics and tries to tell everybody not to mess with him......PLEASE. The beat is a whining techno sound that will stick in your head for hours. But its not a good thing. Its a bad thing. The sliding voice on the chorus will also have you going crazy, as Twista spits some insulting and disturbing lyrics followed by the voice chanting "kill us all.....kill us all kill us alllllllll". Not creative if you ask me. Skip. 0/5
3.Pimp on-featuring 8 ball and too short. Wow.......So irritating..........SO IRRITATING. I thought music was suppossed to make you dance and have a good time.-Not cover your ears and desperately try to press the stop button. The easy laid back beat on here mixed with bass will have you screaming in pain, while Twista, 8 ball and Too short all spit ridiculous commercial verses for your enjoyment. The basic message of this song is to "get your pimp on". First Twista is a tough guy on "kill us all" and then he does the whole P.I.M.P. thing on this song. Both of the styles are done horribly in my opinion. But one thing that is enough to give this track a 0/5 alone-the little voice in the background that comes around every beat. Avoid this song.-If you do not, don't expect to be recovered for about 24 hours. 0/5
4.Slow jamz-featuring Kanye West and Jamie foxx. Ugh. Alright i'll admit that this song is catchy and will be loved by a lot of people. But the problem, is the lyrics. I tell you, if the lyrics by Kanye and Twista weren't SO commercial, I'd probably give this track a much higher rating, as Jamie Foxx does and excellent job on the chorus, and the beat is perfect. But, NO Twista and Kanye had to disgust me with their sick and disgusting lyrics. Could've been a lot better. 2.5/5
5.Overnight Celebrity. Who else is so sick of this song that if you overheard someone singing a portion of it, you would jump on them immediatly? I'll admit, the very first time i heard this i could tell that this was going to be a big hit due to the bouncy-violin type beat and the chorus Kanye spits.-And just the basic message. But the radio just has to do it again. They just had to play a song SO much that they ruin the track for everyone. But the more i heard it, I did notice a lot more things that made me even more disgusted when it came on the radio. Once again, Kanye and Twista team up-this time Kanye just on the chorus-but they both manage to disgust me with their commercial lyrics and subject matter. And yeah, the more i heard this, the beat started to make me go crazy.-Especialy the high whining voice in the background. Good catchy song for a couple of listens, but trust me, it will get OLD FAST. 2.5/5
6.Still feels so good-featuring Jazze Pha. Commercialism hits a high point here as Jazze Pha on the chorus does the tipical sliding voice that is so commercial that it makes you ignore the catchiness of the entire song. Yeah, the beat is good, but Twista and Jazze could've made this song a lot better by not making it so commercial. Twista still manages to put in that he can be a girls manager however, so i guess mission accomplished. 1.5/5
7.Drinks. O boy. Wait, did i say the last song was commercial?.........No. The last song does not come close to the level of commercialism that Twista manages to grasp here.-As he talks about his favorite drink.......O man, you gota think of something better than that. And yeah, he mixes in the usual commercial subjects that rappers like Twista can't get enough of. Over one of those barely-there techno beats, the sliding voice on the chorus manages to obtain a new level of irritating voices on a chorus. PUSH THAT SKIP BUTTON........AGAIN! 0/5
8.Badunkadunk. O for the love of God Twista, Can you PLEASE give me a track that doesn't make me stick out my tounge in disgust. Here, Twista classifies a girls butt as a "badunkadunk". Wow. How lame is that. As the chorus shouts orders such as "bounce that [budunkadunk] work that [badunkadunk]". And much, much more disturbing lyrics done at the chorus and the verses by Twista. No really, its incredible how commercial his lyrics are.-I can't even tell you how distubing this song is. Just trust me, you don't want to hear it. 0/5
9.One last time. Well Twista opens this song with a line something that talks about a girls thigh, which immediatly turned me off, considering the subject matter of the previous track. But some good news here" the beat isn't so irritating as usual, and the sliding voice on the chorus is actually catchy, not annoying. I still can't stand Twista's lyrics, but this track is O.K. 3/5
10.So sexy-featuring R.kelly. Well for the first time one the album, i enjoy a track. The bouncy laid-back beat on this one will instantly have you hooked, and the catchy chorus by R.kelly is good and will have you up and dancing. Another good note here, Twista's lyrics aren't so commercial and distubing. As the subject matter is different in a way, and the same in a way. Twista is still talking about women, but he does it in a thanking way, not a degrating way. Good, commercial-free catchy track. Get the single. 4.5/5
11.Higher-featuring ludacris. Very bouncy beat here in which Twista does a very catchy, sliding chorus. But, of course, this song is made bad by the commercialism in it. The subject matter is simply horrible, which is hinted in the song title. Ludacris does his usual commercial verse, but also comes through as usual with his catchy voice tone and flow. But the beat is really what ruins this song, as it is and extremely irritating techno beat that will have you going crazy. Listen to it if you can survive the beat and the mild commercialism. 2.5/5
12.Snoopin'. Well instead of being irritating, the beat is boring and lazy, and so are Twista's lyrics and the chorus. Well, nothing more to sya basically. Skip it. 0/5
13.Like a 24-featuring T.I. and Liffy Stokes. O boy. Twista goes back to full-throttle commercialism here, telling girls to "make their a** roll like a 24" followed by a girl chanting "i can make my a** roll like a 24". T.I. doesn't help this song any either. The flute beat is alos irritating and fits in with the other aspects of this horrible and degrating track. 0/5
14.Hope-featuring cee-lo. Best song on the album by far. The message and subject matter are both AWESOME and totally commercial-free. The beat is very catchy, laid-back and just a feel-good melody. The lyrics are excellent by Twista for the first time on the cd. Wow. This song is excellent. Not to mention the chorus done by Cee-Lo that blew me away. It's that good. Great song. Whatever you do, try to get his track without getting the album. Excellent. Great. Awesome. Every word in the english dictionary that means something along the lines of "good". 5/5
15.Sunshine-featuring Anthony Hamilton. Boring. Bad guest apperence and just........boring. At least its commercial free but other than that.........this song isn't anything special. Its just.....well.....average. Nothing to scream for. Run-of-the-mill average beat in which Twista spits some average lyrics, and Anthony Hamilton does an average chorus. Hm...... yawn....... 2/5
16.Art and life [chi-roc]-featuring Memphis Bleek, Freeway and Young Chris. Well Twista teams up with rocafella here for a decent closer, but again, its nothing special. Its obvious by the bass-heavy beat that Twista tried to make something big here. It didn't happen. Instead, he ended up with a song that tries to get you on your feet, but just isn't good enough. Hm. Ignore it. 2.5/5
FINAL THOUGHTS:
All in all, this album is horrible and i highly encourage you to pretend it doesn't exist. Don't even think about it. Its bad..hands down. Commercial lyrics commercial subject matters horrible guest apperences horrible songs =terrible, terrible, terrible album. STAY AWAY.
